EXAMPLE 1
Method of Making Water-in-Oil Vaccine
The instant example describes an exemplary method for making a vaccine of the present disclosure. This example provides an exemplary method for making a water-in-oil vaccine.
An oil phase was prepared by combining mineral oil and Span 80 and then mixing the combination for at least 10 minutes using a magnetic stir bar. The resultant oil phase was then filter sterilized under aseptic conditions.
An aqueous phase was prepared by combining buffered saline, 40% Tween, formalin, an inactivated Salmonella typhimurium antigen, and is an inactivated Salmonella kentucky antigen. This combination was mixed for at least 5 minutes using a magnetic stir bar.
The oil phase and the aqueous phase were then emulsified. The oil phase was transferred into a Kady Mill mixing vessel. Mixing was initiated and then the aqueous phase was slowly added to the oil phase to create the emulsion. After at least 15 minutes of mixing, the emulsion was aseptically transferred into vials for later use as vaccine.
EXAMPLE 2
Vaccine Efficacy Analysis
In the instant example, the efficacy of vaccines of the present disclosure were evaluated. The exemplary vaccines used in the instant example were vaccines comprising an inactivated Salmonella typhimurium antigen and an inactivated Salmonella kentucky antigen.
Three different water-in-oil (W/O) vaccines were prepared with each vaccine comprising a different dosage of Salmonella typhimurium antigen and Salmonella kentucky antigen. The different doses included i) 1.0 x 108 tcc of Salmonella typhimurium antigen and 1.0 x 108 tcc of Salmonella kentucky antigen per dose; ii) 5.0 x 108 tcc of Salmonella typhimurium antigen and 5.0 x 108 tcc of Salmonella kentucky antigen per dose; and iii) 1.0 x 109 tcc of Salmonella typhimurium antigen and 1.0 x 109 tcc of Salmonella kentucky antigen per dose. One water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) vaccine was prepared comprising 1.0 x 109 tcc of Salmonella typhimurium antigen and 1.0 x 109 tcc of Salmonella kentucky antigen per dose. A control W/O vaccine that did not comprise Salmonella typhimurium antigen or Salmonella kentucky antigen was also prepared.
For the instant example, 100 chickens were divided into five different treatment groups (i.e., 20 chickens per group). The five treatment groups are shown in Table 1: Table 1
Figure imgf000018_0001
The chickens in each treatment group were administered the vaccine twice (one administration at 12 weeks of age and a second administration at 16 weeks of age. Thereafter, the efficacy of vaccine in each treatment group was evaluated by challenging the chickens at 20 weeks of age with both Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella kentucky. Following the challenge, chickens were analyzed for “reisolation” of Salmonella typhimurium in intestine and in organs. Chickens observed to be negative for reisolation of Salmonella typhimurium were determined to be protected by the vaccine. Following the challenge, chickens were also analyzed for reisolation of Salmonella kentucky in intestine. Chickens observed to be negative for reisolation of Salmonella kentucky were determined to be protected by the vaccine.
Table 2 shows the results of vaccine efficacy following Salmonella typhimurium challenge. Table 2. Efficacy of Vaccine Following Salmonella typhimurium Challenge
