chimeric swine circovirus type 2 (pcv2) vaccines

摘要

The present invention relates to vaccine compositions and methods for conferring immunity against porcine circovirus type two (pcv2) genotypes, including by administering a recombinant pcv2 capsid polypeptide which comprises antigenic epitopes of the pcv2 multiple genotype capsid. In other embodiments, a recombinant chimeric porcine circovirus is provided for use as a vaccine that combines the porcine circovirus type 1 (pcv1) backbone with sequences encoding a pcv2 capsid polypeptide including antigenic epitopes of the multiple capsid capsid. PCV2 genotypes.
