Recombinant structural and non-structural proteins of FIPV and method of immunizing

摘要

The present invention relates to the development of an efficacious vaccine against Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV). The invention provides the tools for the synthesis and manipulation of the structural and non-structural proteins of FIPV. These proteins are able to elicit an immune response in cats against FIPV. The recombinant virus vectors which express the E1 or N proteins of the virus or the recombinant produced viral proteins themselves are able to elicit an immune response.
