The Application of Biotechnology to the Development of Veterinary Vaccines
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The practice of vaccination for the prevention of animal disease has been used for centuries and has proven to be a powerful tool for the alleviation of animal suffering as well as the economic well being of producers of animal products. Up until 15–20 years ago, vaccines had changed little from those originally pioneered by Jenner and Pasteur. Since that time there have been significant changes in the types of vaccines available owing to a number of factors, including compatibility with eradication programmes and international trade policies as well as cost-effectiveness of production. The first recombinant vaccines were introduced in the late 1980s to control Aujeszky’s disease and rabies in wild-life (Pastoret et al., 1988) and are the forerunners of similar products that will be available in the future.

vaccines is considered as a critical point and in-process of quality control (IPQC) test of vaccine production. Rapid tests, like real time PCR, are more appropriated when the production occurs at industrial scale because of the amounts of starting materials and the excess of consumed time required. In the current study, a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
