Peptides that induce an immune response against copepods To Fish and / or Shield Mucosal Vaccines, uses and methods to modulate the immune response of Fish and / or induce the generation of a mucous Coat

摘要

Isolated peptides are provided which comprise the sequences SEQ ID No. 17, SEQ ID No. 18, SEQ ID No. 19, SEQ ID No. 20, SEQ ID No. 21, SEQ ID No. 22, SEQ ID No. 23, SEQ ID No. 24, SEQ ID No. 25, SEQ ID No. 26, SEQ ID No. 27 or SEQ ID No. 28, wherein one or more peptides induce an immune response against copepods in fish and / or induce the formation of a mucous shield. The peptide can be conjugated to an antigenic protein, for example it can be covalently conjugated KLH. Vaccines comprising the peptides alone or in combination are also provided. Method to modulate the immune response.
