Abstract: A nucleic acid sequence encoding a fragment of the adenovirus fiber capsid protein, a DNA construct including a replicable expression vector and at least one heterologous nucleic acid, and recombinant protein including fragment of the adenovirus fiber capsid protein. The fragment comprises the C-terminal knob and part of the shaft domain of the fiber protein of these adenoviruses. The use of recombinant proteins as an active ingredient in vaccinating compositions for conferring to an animal immunity against a pathogenic infection by an adenovirus, and methods for vaccinating a domestic bird against a pathogenic adenoviral infection.

Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant toxin or the subunit B thereof selected from the group consisting of E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), its subunit B (LTB), cholera toxin (CT) and its subunit B (CTB), in immunogenic form, expressed in eukaryotic cells, a vaccine comprising said toxin or subunit B thereof, and use of said recombinant toxin or subunit B thereof in human or veterinary vaccines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fragment of the adenovirus fiber capsid protein, particularly, of the avian adenoviruses HEV or EDS. This sequence comprises the C-terminal knob and part of the shaft domain of the fiber protein of these adenoviruses. The invention further provides for DNA constructs comprising said DNA fragment and recombinant proteins encoded thereby. The recombinant proteins of the invention elicit in an animal, preferably in a domestic bird, protective immunity against a specific viral pathogen. The invention further relates to the use of these recombinant proteins as an active ingredient in vaccinating compositions for conferring to an animal immunity against a pathogenic infection by an adenovirus, and to methods for vaccinating a domestic bird against a pathogenic adenoviral infection.
