Abstract: Multivalent combination vaccines are provided which include an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of M. hyo infection, preferably M. hyo bacterin, or an immunogenic composition comprising M. hyo bacterin, and at least one immunogenic active component of another disease-causing organism in swine, preferably PCV2 wherein the preferred PCV2 antigen for such a multivalent vaccine is PCV2 ORF 2 protein.

Abstract: An improved method for recovering the protein expressed by open reading frame 2 from porcine circovirus type 2 is provided. Also provided is recombinant PCV2ORF2 protein, and immunogenic compositions comprising PCV2ORF2 protein. Moreover, multivalent combination vaccines are provided which include an immunological agent effective for reducing the incidence of or lessening the severity of PCV2 infection, preferably PCV2ORF2 protein, or an immunogenic composition comprising PCV2ORF2 protein, and at least one immunogenic active component of another disease-causing organism in swine.

Abstract: An improved method for recovering the protein expressed by open reading frame 2 from porcine circovirus type 2 is provided. The method generally involves the steps of transfecting recombinant virus containing open reading frame 2 coding sequences into cells contained in growth media, causing the virus to express open reading frame 2, and recovering the expressed protein in the supernate. This recovery should take place beginning approximately 5 days after infection of the cells in order to permit sufficient quantities of recombinant protein to be expressed and secreted from the cell into the growth media. Such methods avoid costly and time consuming extraction procedures required to separate and recover the recombinant protein from within the cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an immunogenic composition that comprises a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) antigen for treatment of several clinical manifestations (diseases). Preferably, the clinical manifestations are associated with a PCV2 infection. Preferably, they include lymphadenopathy, lymphoid depletion and/or multinucleated/giant histiocytes. Moreover, the clinical symptoms include lymphadenopathy in combination with one or a multiple of the following symptoms in pigs: (1) interstitial pneumonia with interlobular edema, (2) cutaneous pallor or icterus, (3) mottled atrophic livers, (4) gastric ulcers, (5) nephritis and (6) reproductive disorders, e.g. abortion, stillbirths, mummies, etc. Furthermore the clinical symptoms include Pia like lesions, normally known to be associated with Lawsonia intracellularis infections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an immunogenic composition that comprises a PCV2 antigen for treatment of several clinical manifestations (diseases). Preferably, the clinical manifestations are associated with an enteric infection, even more preferably, with enteric disease. The use relates to a method comprising the steps of administering the composition to an animal in need thereof, preferably prior to disease exposure. Administration of PCV2 antigen, preferably ORF2 of PCV2, lessens the incidence and reduces the severity of the enteric disease.
