  • Antigen: B. bovis T2Bo 12D3
  • 12D3 gene engineering:

  • Adjuvant:
  • Immunization Route: Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
Host Response

Cattle Response

  • Vaccination Protocol: 50 micrograms of the GST-12D3 fusion protein was mixed with FCA and used to vaccinate cattle (Wright et al., 1992).
  • Challenge Protocol: Challenged with virulent B.bovis (Wright et al., 1992).
  • Efficacy: Immunised animals had parasitaemias one order of magnitude lower than controls when challenged with a heterologous strain of B. bovis. In a series of experiments, 100% of controls were treated, whereas only 16% of the GST-12D3 vaccinated animals required treatment (Wright et al., 1992).
