FELINE INFECTIOUS PERITONITIS VACCINE

摘要

It is intended to provide a vaccine for FIP with the use of an N protein having a specific structure or its fragment as an antigen. A desirable antig en is an N protein originating in a specific type I virus strain (KU-2). A vaccine containing this N protein exerts a preventive effect on FIPV over a broad range. Because of being free from infection-enhancing epitopes, this N protein is highly safe. Moreover, it can establish a preventive effect on th e type I virus amounting to 70% or more of factors causative of FIP.
