Fowl adenovirus subunit vaccine and production method thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a fowl adenovirus (FAdV) subunit vaccine, comprising at least a chimeric FAdV fiber protein and an adjuvant. This vaccine may be used to ameliorate or prevent adenoviral gizzard erosion (AGE), inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) or hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) in birds. The invention further relates to a method of producing an FAdV subunit vaccine, comprising the steps of expressing a chimeric FAdV fiber protein in an expression system, purifying the fiber protein, and combining the fiber protein with an adjuvant to obtain the FAdV subunit vaccine.
