Abstract
Recombinant chimeric viruses based on NDV LaSota strain and containing either ILTV gB or gD are produced. Administration of the chimeric viruses to chickens induces an immune response in the animal against both NDV and ILTV. Immunogenic compositions, plasmids, kits and methods are described.
Claims13
