  • Polynucleotides of and its use
    Patent number: 8350018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Haemophilus parasuis polynucleotides produced by recombinant technology. It also relates to polypeptides that are expressed by said polynucleotides and also to a vaccine against H. parasuis that comprises said polypeptides. In another aspect, the invention also relates to the use of polynucleotides to determine if a strain of H. parasuis is virulent or avirulent.
    Type: Grant

  • Live attenuated vaccine against porcine pleuropneumonia
    Patent number: 7722882
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for obtaining an immunogenic, non-haemolytic strain of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae which is modified, at least in a segment of the apxIA gene and optionally in a segment of the apxIIA gene that encodes a transmembrane domain of the Apx haemolytic and cytolytic exotoxins. It comprises also the strains, and the attenuated live vaccine porcine pleuorpneumonia obtained therewith.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2003

  • Attenuated strain of the virus causing the porcine reproductive respiratory syndrome (PRRS), and vaccines
    Patent number: 6001370
    Abstract: A new attenuated strain (CNCM Institut Pasteur I-1642) of the virus causing the swine disease known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is described, along with an attenuation and replication procedure of the same by using a new clone obtained from MA-104 monkey kidney cells (CNCM Institut Pasteur I-1643). Because of the innocuousness on swine and the high immunogenic activity, the said new attenuated strain allows the obtaining of vaccines and diagnostic kits which make possible both the early diagnosis of PRRS and an efficient preventive treatment of such disease.
