Production of Hyperimmune Serum against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus in Rabbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
The early and accurate diagnosis of infectious bursal disease requires known hyperimmune serum against the disease. In this study, an attempt was made to raise anti-infectious bursal disease virus hyperimmune serum in rabbits. The infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus was isolated from field outbreaks, identified, purified, titrated and its infectivity titre was determined in embryonated eggs. Three different semi purified and purified doses were prepared for inoculation in rabbits: (i) chloroform treated IBD virus; (ii) ultra centrifuged and resuspended virus using sucrose as gradients and (iii) pelleted and resuspended virus with addition of incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Killed IBD virus vaccine (Cevac IBDK) was used as 4 inoculum. It was observed that the serum collected after series of inoculation of 1st and 2nd inoculum provided maximum antibody titre upto log26 and Log29, respectively. However, the serum collected after series of injection of 3 and 4 inoculum gave maximum indirect haemagglutination (IHA) titer (log210). This study suggested that live antigen containing incomplete Freund's adjuvant provided better immune response and may be a good choice for raising a hyperimmune serum against IBD virus in rabbits.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) in turkeys may result in immunosuppression, and inability of turkeys to resist nonpathogenic or less pathogenic organisms. A total number of 120 day-old commercial male turkeys were purchased and blood samples were collected from 20 day-old turkeys, remaining 100 were divided into four equal groups and kept in separated rooms. Groups 1 and 2 were infected ...

Expression of the VP2 gene of classical D78 infectious bursal disease virus in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a secretory protein
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the causative agent of Gumboro disease, an infectious disease of global economic importance in poultry. The expression of heterologous proteins in P.pastoris is fast, simple and inexpensive. In this study, VP2 encoding gene of classical D78 IBDV was amplified using reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pPICZαA vector...
