PROTECTIVE ANTIGEN,ANTIBODY AGAINST PATHOGEN, VACCINE CONTAINING SAID ANTIBODY, THEIR MANUFACTURE AND DIAGNOSTIC KIT

摘要

A method for producing at least one antibody against a pathogen includes the steps of providing a biological sample from an animal infected with, or challenged by, the pathogen or pathogen extracts, isolating cells from the biological sample, culturing the cells in vitro in a suitable culture medium, and harvesting antibodies produced from these cells. The animal from which the biological sample is taken may be an immune animal, and the sample may be taken a short time after the animal has been challenged with a pathogenic infection.
