Identifying suitable vector for the expression/delivery of protective PRRSV Antigens

Research Question

  • The generation of protective responses without the risk of the recombination between an attenuated strain and wild strains

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • The expression of the protective antigens by a replicating organism with the development of VN-Abs and CTC responses
  • Creating stable genetically modified organisms expressing the desired PRRSV antigens
  • Identifying the Ag combination to give widest protection against the various field isolates

Solution Routes

  • Generation of genetically modifies organisms (viruses or bacteria) expressing the protective antigens of different PRRSV strains
  • Incorporation of molecular adjuvants (expressing CD40 ligand)

Dependencies

  • Identity of the most appropriate antigens
