  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR VIRAL VECTORED GnRH VACCINES TO CONTROL REPRODUCTION AND BREEDING BEHAVIOR IN MAMMALS
    Publication number: 20230136261
    Abstract: Immunogenic compositions comprising a recombinant adenoviral vector that expresses a nucleic acid molecule encoding multimers of a Gonadotrophic Releasing Hormone (GnRH), an antigenic carrier and multiple immune enhancing epitopes are described herein. The use of the immunogenic compositions on mammals resulting in an antibody response to GnRH can inhibit the physiological activity of GnRH and thus induce infertility and modify breeding behavior of immunized animals.

  • IMMUNIZATIONS OF AVIANS BY ADMINISTRATION OF NON-REPLICATING VECTORED VACCINES
    Publication number: 20200338188
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the fields of immunology and vaccine technology. More specifically, the invention relates to recombinant human adenovirus vectors for delivery of avian immunogens and antigens, such as avian influenza into avians. The invention also provides methods of introducing and expressing an avian immunogen in avian subjects, including avian embryos, as well as methods of eliciting an immunogenic response in avian subjects to avian immunogens.
