Rabies reservoir or vectors in China • Dogs: 98% • Cats: 4-5% • Badger: 15 cases were reported • Rats: in some areas in the south of China • Foxes: Inner Mongolia • Wolves: Xinjiang • Bats:?
Vaccines for dogs in China • ERA: in five combined vaccines • Flury LEP: approved for two years • Inactivated (imported) : Intervet, Merial, Fort Dodge • Inactivated (home-made): 3-4 types, in clinical trial,not yet approved * Vaccination of inactivated vaccine in rural areas needs laborious work.
Oral vaccines for dogs • Attenuated or mutated live rabies virus SAD-B19 SAG1 SAG2 reverse genetically modified …… • Recombinant live virus vector Poxvirus-vector based Adenovirus-vector based
Advantages of adenovirus • Safe • Wide range of host • Heat stable (Oral infection) • Median package of a foreign gene • Persistent existence ?
Hu RL et al. Microbes Infect, 2006, 8(4): 1090-1097 Liu Y, Hu R, Zhang S, et al Viral Immunology, 2006(19), 2:202-209 Patent1: 20041001097.8 Patent2: 20041001200.3 Non-essential for replication Foreign gene or label inserts pIX Fiber Adenovirus
Strategies for recombinant virus construction • Homologous recombination • Gene cloning
Our constructs Glycoprotein: SRV9 CVS-24 8202(street strain) Nucleoprotein: SRV9 The recombinant CAV-2 genome containing the rabies virus glycoprotein expression cassette in plasmid form
Production of the recombinant virus • Handling of canine adenovirus (safe) • MDCK easy grown • Obvious CPE • High titer: around 10(8.5) MDCK cells CPE Western blot analysis
Bait composition Five parts: the recombinant virus solution; pledget; tallow; metal frame; paper package
Challenge results of dogs orally vaccinated and the negative controls
Prospect • In cats • In pigs • In cattle • and more Dogs Bats
Conclusions • A new, safe and efficacious rabies vaccine • A simple and useful bait • For oral use • Long lasting immunization in dogs
