RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Evaluation of the new commercial recombinant chimeric subunit vaccine PRRSFREE in challenge with heterologous types 1 and 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.
Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research 2017 January
The objective of this study was to evaluate a new recombinant chimeric vaccine against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The subunit vaccine, PRRSFREE, from Reber Genetics, Taiwan, Republic of China, is based on a plasmid containing a detoxified Pseudomonas exotoxin carrying open reading frame (ORF) 7, 1b, and 5 and 6 chimeric subunits of types 1 and 2 PRRSV. Pigs were injected intramuscularly with 2.0 mL of the vaccine at 21 and 42 d of age, according to the manufacturer's recommendation. At the age of 63 d the pigs were inoculated intranasally with either type 1 or type 2 PRRSV. Regardless of the genotype of the challenging PRRSV, the vaccinated challenged pigs had significantly lower ( P < 0.05) mean rectal temperature, respiratory score, lung lesion score, and amount of PRRSV antigen within areas of interstitial pneumonia, along with overall lower levels of viremia due to type 1 or type 2 PRRSV compared with the unvaccinated challenged pigs. The vaccinated challenged pigs also had significantly higher ( P < 0.05) numbers of interferon-γ secreting cells compared with the unvaccinated challenged pigs. This study demonstrated that the new vaccine provides protection against respiratory disease from heterologous types 1 and 2 PRRSV challenge in growing pigs.
