METHOD FOR THE EXPRESSION OF POLYPEPTIDES IN FISHES BY WASTEWATER SOLUTION IN DNS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of immunization of aquaculture species by introducing DNA expression systems into the aquaculture species. Such DNA expression systems preferably include DNA sequences encoding polypeptides of pathogens of species of aquaculture. The present invention also relates to methods of administration of DNA expression systems into aquaculture. Such methods include injection, spray, and immersion techniques. The methods of this invention are useful for prophylactic vaccination or therapeutic immunization of fin-fish, shellfish, or other aquatic animals against infectious diseases.
