    IMMUNE RESPONSE IN SHEEP TO IMMUNIZATION WITH DNA ENCODING THE VARIABLE REGION OF ANTI-IDIOTYPIC ANTIBODY SPECIFIC FOR HN PROTEIN OF PESTE DES PETITS RUMINANTS VIRUS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2010-07) APSANA, R.; SHRIKRISHNA ISLOOR; M.S. SHAILA; D. RATHNAMMA; B. M. VEEREGOWDA
    The present work was undertaken to evaluate and compare the immune responses in sheep to a recombinant DNA vaccine coding for VH chain region of anti-idiotypic antibody against HN protein of PPR and conventional PPRV vaccine. Twenty four seronegative sheep to PPRV antibodies were subjected to vaccination trials. Recombinant DNA vaccine and conventional PPRV vaccine were administered on days 0 and 21. Humoral immune response in vaccinates was evaluated by indirect ELISA and Serum Neutralization Test (SNT). The present study revealed high antibody titres in conventional cell culture PPRV vaccinated groups than recombinant DNA vaccinated group. However, the serum samples were having neutralizing titer of ≥ 8 in both the groups. Indirect ELISA results showed significant difference between the recombinant DNA vaccinated group and control groups indicating the capability of recombinant DNA vaccine to elicit immune response in the total absence of antigen. The preliminary study carried out infer that recombinant vaccine against PPR can be successfully used for protecting sheep against PPR and further overcomes the handling of PPRV for production of conventional cell culture vaccine.

    USE OF IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF CANINE PARVOVIRUS INFECTION
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) MOHD. MUDASSAK CHANDA
    Parvoviruses are among the smallest, simplest eukaryotic viruses and were only discovered in the 196Oâ s. They are widespread in nature. Canine parvovirus (CPV) is of great concern to veterinarians, pet owners and dog breeders. Canine parvovirus is a DNA virus with ~25nm in diameter, icosahedral symmetry. There are 3 capsid proteins VPl, VP2 and VP3. The canine parvovirus genome is linear, non-segmented, single stranded DNA of 5kb.
