A comparative evaluation of vaccination methods with glycoproteins for the induction of immune responses and protection of the pig against Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV) was performed. Different vaccination routes (intradermal (i.d.) versus intramuscular (i.m.)), inoculation sites (the neck versus the back) and number of inoculation points (2 versus 6) per site were compared. Body weight (BW) changes and viral excretion after challenge were compared with virus-neutralizing titers, antigen-specific IgG and IgA responses in serum and virus-specific lymphoproliferative responses in peripheral blood during the immunisation period. According to BW changes better protection was obtained with six-point than two-point i.d. injections. i.d. vaccination in the back at six points gave similar results as i.m. vaccination in the neck but appeared inferior in the reduction of virus excretion. Regarding the immunological parameters, the virus-specific IgA response in serum gave the best indication for protection. It can be concluded that according to BW changes, six-point i.d. immunisation in the back and i.m. immunisation in the neck provided the best protection and that six-point i.d. injections resulted in a better vaccination than two-point i.d. injections.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D011557 Pseudorabies A highly contagious herpesvirus infection affecting the central nervous system of swine, cattle, dogs, cats, rats, and other animals. Aujeszky's Disease,Aujeszky Disease,Aujeszkys Disease
D011558 Herpesvirus 1, Suid A species of VARICELLOVIRUS producing a respiratory infection (PSEUDORABIES) in swine, its natural host. It also produces an usually fatal ENCEPHALOMYELITIS in cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, foxes, and mink.

D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail.
