Abstract
A composition for co-injection of an animal against a gram-negative pathogen which comprises an effective dose of a gram-negative type lipopolysaccharide devoid of O-carbohydrate side-chains and a bacterin derived from said pathogen. Methods of co-injection of an animal to protect the animal against gram-negative pathogens are also discussed.
Claims17
