Immunoresponse of Coho salmon immunized with a gene expression library from Piscirickettsia salmonis

We have used the expression library immunization technology to study the protection of Coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch to the infection with Piscirickettsia salmonis. Purified DNA from this bacterium was sonicated and the fragments were cloned in the expression vector pCMV-Bios. Two libraries were...

As control, fish were injected with the same amount of DNA of the vector pCMV-Bios without insert. The titer of IgM anti-P. salmonis of vaccinated fish, evaluated 60 days post-injection, was significantly higher than that of the control group injected with the vector alone.

The vaccinated and control fish were challenged 60 days after the second dose of DNA with 2.5 x 10(7) P. salmonis corresponding to 7.5 times the LD50.
