Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: 2015Description: 130p.Subject(s): Department of MicrobiologyDDC classification: 2316-T Dissertation note: Pasteurella multocida is responsible for causing Heamorrhagic Septiceimia which is a fatal and acute disease mainly associated with bovines. Pasteurella multocida consists of two important antigenic structures i-e Outer membrane protein(OMP) and Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) that forms capsule.These two structures played vital role in pathogenicity as well as in the immunogenicity. In our present project we study the role of LPS,OMP alone and in combination as an immunogens.We compared the immunogenic behaviour of whole culture vaccine(consists of LPS and OMP) purified vaccine(consists of OMP),LPS vaccine (consists of LPS only) by IHA and CFT (using OMP and LPS both as an Ag separately) and the overall results showed that whole culture HS Alum precipitated vaccine produced better antiboby titer against both outer membrane proteins (OMP) and lipopolysacharrides (LPS) when checked against respective antigens as compared to the vaccines containing OMP and LPS alone. So it was concluded that LPS no doubt act as an immunogen but its immunogenicity increases many times when combine with protein (OMP) as in whole culture vaccine.
