INACTIVATED DEAD VACCINE OF MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE AND METHOD OF USE OF THE SAME.

摘要

THE INVENTION PROVIDES A BACTERIA COMPRISING A VIRULENT, "MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE" ISOLATED MATERIAL, INACTIVATED WITH BINARY ETHYLENEIMIDE, IN AN EFFECTIVE AMOUNT TO IMMUNIZE A PORK AGAINST INFECTION WITH "MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMIA UNOPENIA". THE INVENTION ALSO PROVIDES A METHOD FOR PRODUCING THIS BACTERIA. THE INVENTION FURTHER PROVIDES A METHOD FOR INACTIVATING A VIRULENT BRANCH OF "MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE" BY CONTACTING "MYCROPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE" WITH BINARY ETHYLENEIMIDE. FINALLY THE INVENTION ALSO PROVIDES A METHOD FOR IMMUNIZING PIGS AGAINST "MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE" INFECTION, WHICH INCLUDES ADMINISTRATION TO PIGS OF A DOSE OF MATERIAL SUFFICIENT FOR THEIR IMMUNIZATION.
