Estimating the term…
The genome sequences and the nucleotide sequences coding for the PWD circovirus polypeptides, such as the circovirus structural and non-structural polypeptides, vectors including the sequences, and cells and animals transformed by the vectors are provided. Methods for detecting the nucleic acids or polypeptides, and kits for diagnosing infection by a PWD circovirus, also are provided. Method for selecting compounds capable of modulating the viral infection are further provided. Pharmaceutical, including vaccines, compositions for preventing and/or treating viral infections caused by PWD circovirus and the use of vectors for preventing and/or treating diseases also are provided.
A vaccine comprising a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence with at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID No. 25 and an acceptable pharmaceutical vehicle, wherein said nucleic acid encodes an immunogenic protein that induces a protective response effective against infection by a piglet weight loss disease circovirus.
A method of immunizing a mammal against piglet weight loss disease comprising administering to a mammal an effective amount of a vaccine,
A vaccine comprising a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence with at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID No. 25, an acceptable pharmaceutical vehicle, and an adjuvant, wherein said nucleic acid encodes an immunogenic protein that induces a protective response effective against infection by a piglet weight loss disease circovirus.
