  • Patent number: 10626414
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Equine Herpes Virus (EHV) vectors comprising at least one exogenous antigen encoding sequence relating to a pathogen infecting food producing animals, wherein said exogenous antigen encoding sequence is inserted into an insertion site, preferably ORF70, and said exogenous antigen encoding sequence is operably linked to a promoter sequence, preferably the promoter sequence comprising 4pgG600 (SEQ ID NO:1) or 4pMCP600 (SEQ ID NO:2) or the complementary nucleotide sequences thereof or a functional fragment or a functional derivative thereof or the complementary nucleotide sequences thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for immunizing a food producing animal comprising administering to such food producing animal an immunogenic composition comprising embodiments of the present invention. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of clinical signs caused by swine influenza virus in a food producing animal.

  • Patent number: 10329586
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of CAdV vector vaccines, and especially to promoters suitable to express target antigens from such vector vaccines. Disclosed and claimed are recombinant canine adenoviruses, methods of making them, uses for them (including in immunological, immunogenic, vaccine or therapeutic compositions, or, as a vector for cloning, replicating or expressing DNA and methods of using the compositions and vector), expression products from them, and uses for the expression products. Additionally, disclosed and claimed are truncated EHV4 promoters, expression cassettes containing the promoters, and recombinant viruses and plasmids containing the promoters or expression cassettes.

  • Publication number: 20130129780
    Abstract: Provided herein are modified infectious largotracheitis viruses (ILTVs) and methods of using the same. For example, provided are attenuated ILTVs. The attenuated ILTVs can be used to illicit immune responses in avian species. Optionally, the attenuated ILTVs can be used to vaccinate an avian subject or a population of avian subjects. Optionally, an attenuated ILTV is administered in ovo to an avian egg. One or more such in ovo administration can be used to increase the immunity of an avian herd.
