A vaccine delivery method is presented that includes a composition including as one component a slurry matrix that is a liquid at room temperature and a gel at physiological pH, physiological salt concentrations and/or physiological temperatures and as a second component one or more antigens. Also included are methods of inducing an immune response in a subject and vaccinating a subject by administering such compositions.

A method for promoting replication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses using cold atmospheric plasma, including: irradiating a medium for Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells with a cold atmospheric plasma generator; adding the irradiated medium to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells; and adding infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses for incubation. The time required for treatment is 2 min allowing for a simple and rapid operation. The plasma is used for the indirect treatment of cells with a uniform process and a controllable intensity. The replication of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses in the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells is significantly promoted by co-incubation in the treated DMEM for 1 hour, so that the high levels of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses obtained can be used for vaccine production after inactivation, improving the vaccine production efficiency.

The present invention relates to a hybrid vaccine for protecting a feline against diseases associated with respiratory diseases. The vaccine commonly includes a feline antigen. Methods for protecting felines against diseases associated with feline gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, including but not limited to feline calicivirus, feline rhinotracheitis and feline panleukopenia, and methods of producing the feline vaccine are also provided.

The present invention relates to a method to modify and/or to isolate exosomes and other naturally occurring plasma membrane derived microvesicles, by incubation with a reactant, consisting of at least a membrane anchor domain or moiety and a hydrophilic functional domain or moiety. The invention also relates to modification using the same of artificially-prepared lipid bilayer vesicles called liposomes (composed of natural phospholipids) and non-biological or synthetic block copolymer membrane mimics which also form vesicles in aqueous solution called polymersomes.
