PRODUCTION AND EVALUATION OF IMMUNOGENIC GP55 PROTEIN OF CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER VIRUS

摘要

Classical swine fever is one of the most important diseases, affecting pigs and wild boars and resulting in great losses in their populations as well as in limitations in the commercial international trade of pigs (1, 2, 3). The ban of preventive vaccinations against this disease is introduce among others because of the impossibility to distinguish between naturally infected animals and those immunised with conventional vaccines. Therefore the aim of the study was the elaboration of new system of production of immunogenic gp55 protein of CSFV as well as the estimation of its safety, protection value and immunogenic properties.
