SKIN INNATE RESPONSE LINKED TO PROTECTIVE INTRADERMAL VACCINATION AGAINST RESPIRATORY INFECTION

      
Application Number US2014068913

Abstract

Intradermal (ID) vaccination aims at targeting the large network of skin antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DC) and constitutes a promising approach to improve anti-infectious immunity. Yet, its anti-viral protective efficacy for sub-unit vaccines and the underlying skin innate immune mechanisms remains to be explored for a wider usage in humans. Using a pig model of lethal respiratory infection with pseudorabies virus (PRV), we show that ID vaccination with adjuvant-free PRV glycoproteins triggers cellular and humoral immunity and confers protection from disease induction by nasal viral challenge, as efficiently as an oil- adjuvanted reference vaccine delivered intramuscularly.

Abstract

The subject matter disclosed herein is directed to stable, highly-effective topical formulations comprising permethrin, fipronil and a solvent system that is sufficient to solubilize these two active ingredients and limit degradation of fipronil to its sulfone, and their uses in topical applications on animals and the environment. Useful formulations comprise from about 30 % to about 55 % (w/w) permethrin and about 2 to 15 % (w/w) fipronil and a solvent system that comprises N-methyl pyrrolidone and a glycol, glycol ether, glycol ester, fatty acid ester or neutral oil, wherein the N-methyl pyrrolidone and glycol, glycol ether, glycol ester, fatty acid ester or neutral oil are present in a weight : weight ratio of from about 1 :2.0 to about 1 :3.5, glycol, glycol ether, glycol ester, fatty acid ester or neutral oil to n-methyl pyrrolidone. These two actives when combined in the described amounts have been found to have unexpected enhanced repellent activity against stable fly. However, it is the formulations described herein that provide solvency and stability that maintain synergistic concentrations after application on an animal.

Abstract

The invention relates to an intraruminal sustained release capsule which is capable of delivering a sustained release dose of a first medicament to an animal, as well as either or both of a dump dose of a second medicament or mineral, and an exit dose of a third medicament or mineral. The capsule can have a dissolvable overcap molded from plasticized starch enabling a dump dose of medicament to be held between the overcap and one end of the capsule. A piston within the body of the capsule can be modified to enable it to accommodate an exit dose of medicament within its hollow interior which is aligned with an aperture at the end of the capsule which enables release of the medicaments to the rumen. After insertion of the capsule in the animal the overcap (if present) dissolves and separates from the capsule to release the dump dose of medicament. The sustained release medicament is then dispensed via the apertured end, followed by the release of the exit dose of medicament (if present).

Abstract

The invention relates to an intraruminal sustained release capsule which is capable of delivering a sustained release dose of a first medicament to an animal, as well as either or both of a dump dose of a second medicament or mineral, and an exit dose of a third medicament or mineral. The capsule can have a dissolvable overcap moulded from plasticised starch enabling a dump dose of medicament to be held between the overcap and one end of the capsule. A piston within the body of the capsule can be modified to enable it to accommodate an exit dose of medicament within its hollow interior which is aligned with an aperture at the end of the capsule which enables release of the medicaments to the rumen. After insertion of the capsule in the animal the overcap (if present) dissolves and separates from the capsule to release the dump dose of medicament. The sustained release medicament is then dispensed via the apertured end, followed by the release of the exit dose of medicament (if present).

Abstract

The presence of horns within commercial cattle populations increases the chances of injuries. The Polled (hornless) condition in cattle has existed since domestication, and it has been selected by breeders because of its economic importance and ease of management. A dominant mutation is believed to cause the polled phenotype. The present invention relates to the identification of breed- specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their haplotypes, in the bovine genome, in or near gene(s) encoding polypeptides associated with the Polled phenotyped in beef production. The invention further encompasses methods and systems, including network-based processes, to manage the SNP data, haplotype data and other data relating to specific animals and herds of animals, veterinarian care, diagnostic and quality control data and management of livestock which, based on genotyping, have predictable productions quality traits, husbandry conditions, animal welfare, food safety information, audit of existing processes and data from field location.

Abstract

The present invention encompasses a flow-through dispersion device for the dispersion of cell aggregates, the device comprising a first or upstream inlet obstacle and a second or downstream outlet obstacle, each obstacle having at least one traversing hole wherein no two holes align. Between the two obstacles is a turbulence chamber, such that when a cell suspension is passed through the inlet holes, into the chamber and then exits the second obstacle, the turbulence within the chamber disrupts and disperses cell aggregates. The device optionally may have more than two obstacles and turbulence chambers and multiple units may be placed in series to increase the amount of turbulence and time applied to a volume of cells. The invention further encompasses methods of using the device to disperse cell aggregates, and methods of culturing cells that involve seeding cultures and maintaining dispersed individual cells.
