METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR VACCINATION COMPRISING NUCLEIC ACID AND/OR POLYPEPTIDE SEQUENCES OF CHLAMYDIA PSITTACI

摘要

The instant invention relates to antigens and nucleic acids encoding such antigens obtainable by screening the Chlamydia psittaci genome. In more specific aspects, the invention relates to methods of isolating such antigens and nucleic acids and to methods of using such isolated antigens for producing immune responses in bovines or other non-human animals. The ability of an antigen to produce an immune response may be employed in vaccination of bovines or antibody preparation techniques.
