  • Sequences from
    Patent number: 7842296
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fish vaccine. More specifically the invention relates to a vaccine to protect salmon against infection by Piscirickettsia salmonis. The invention is based on or derived from the nucleic acid or amino acid sequence of antigens from Piscirickettsia salmonis. Nucleic acid and/or amino acid sequences may be used in the preparation of a vaccine to protect against infection by Piscirickettsia salmonis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2004
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: Novartis AG
    Inventors: Nathalie Simard, Huub Brouwers, Simon Jones, Steve Griffiths, Pablo Valenzuela, Luis Burzio
  • Hsp60 from arthrobacter
    Publication number: 20060127416
    Abstract: The hsp60 gene from a strain of Arthrobacter has been isolated and sequenced. The encoded protein is believed to be highly immunogenic, especially in fish, and also has utility as a non-specific adjuvant, and as an adjuvanting carrier for heterologous antigens.

  • IHNV G protein for immune stimulation
    Publication number: 20050163795
    Abstract: A vaccine comprises a portion of IHNV G protein and a portion of a second protein from a fish pathogen, or their respective nucleic acid coding sequences. The presence of the IHNV G protein boosts the immune response to the second protein, resulting in a protective effect against infection by the fish pathogen and/or mortality caused by the fish pathogen from which the second protein is derived.
