Abstract:

Avian Pasteurella multocida is the causative agent of fowl cholera, a disease much affecting the poultry industry. In order to study the efficacy of the recombinant subunit vaccine constructed with ptfA gene of avian P. multocida, the ptfA gene fragment amplified by PCR from avian P. multocida was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET32a and the recombinant plasmid pET32a-ptfA was obtained. The pET32a-ptfA was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and the target protein rPtfA was purified. The purified protein was then mixed with Freund’s adjuvant and the recombinant subunit vaccine was obtained. Three groups of chickens labeled as rPtfA, attenuated live vaccine and PBS were vaccinated with the recombinant subunit vaccine, attenuated live vaccine and PBS, respectively. Serum antibodies, peripheral blood lymphocyte proliferation (PBLP) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) level secreted by peripheral blood lymphocyte were tested. The immunized chickens were finally challenged with virulent avian P. multocida and the protection rate was counted. Indirect ELISA showed the levels of antibodies in rPtfA and attenuated vaccine groups were most significantly higher than the other groups (P

Immune efficacy of OmpH and OmpA DNA vaccines against avian Pasteurella multocida

Avian Pasteurella multocida is an agent of fowl cholera. The protective effect achieved through orthodoxvaccines is not ideal. The research on novel vaccines against avian Pasteurella multocida is imperative. Inthis study, the genes encoding outer membrane protein H and A (OmpH and OmpA) were cloned into theeukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+) and the recombinant plasmids, namely DNA vaccin...

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the recombinant Pasteurella lipoprotein E and outer membrane protein H from Pasteurella multocida A:3 in mice.

Pasteurella multocida serotype A:3 is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen, one of the causative agents of shipping fever of cattle. In this study, outer membrane protein H (ompH) and Pasteurella lipoprotein E (plpE) genes were cloned and plpEC-ompH fusion was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant PlpE, OmpH and PlpEC-OmpH fusion proteins were purified and formulated with oil...

Prevalence of adhesion Virulence factor genes, antibiogram, and pathogenicity of avian Pasteurella multocida isolate from Iran

Pasteurella multocida possesses various virulence factors, including capsule, lipopolysaccharide, fimbriae, toxins, outer membrane proteins, and adhesions. Adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colonization and invasion of the host. The aim of the present study was to identify the prevalence of adhesion factor genes and resistance/sensitivity patterns among the avian P. multocida isolates f...
