5026557 ADJUVANT
COMPOSITION
Leonard Estis, Phillip Livingston assigned to The Liposome Company Inc An adjuvant composition comprising a small liposome with incubation associated immunopotentiator such as Lipid A, said composition with incubation associated antigen, and method of preparation and use.
lymphocytes with an immortal cell line, selecting for secretial hybrids, and sequentially re-fusing such hybrids with fresh bovine lymphocytes. Three such heterohybridomas which secrete neutralizing antibody to BHV-I have been obtained in this manner and have been deposited in the ATCC as Accession Nos. HB 9907, HB 9908. and HB 9909. The neutralizing antibodies are useful in immunological research, pathological diagnosis, and therapeutic disease control. Specifically, they have utility as serologic control reagents in assays, and as primary reagents in anti-species, anti-isotype, and anti-idiotypic antibody production.
5026687 5026636 METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR PRODUCTION OF MYCOPLASMAL ADHESINS Joel Baseman, C J Su, S Dallo assigned to The University of Texas Board of Regents The molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of the complete structural gene encoding Mycoplasma pneumoniae PI cytadhesin and the amino acid sequence of the PI protein is described. The present invention provides recombinant DNA clones encoding the complete PI protein as well as clones expressing PI polypeptides with cytadhesin epitopes. The substantially purified nucleic acid molecular recombinant vectors, recombinant cells, and recombinant polypeptides of the present invention are useful as hybridization probes and immunodiagnostic reagents and may be used to prepare anti-mycoplasmal vaccines.
5026646 BOVINE M O N O C L O N A L ANTIBODIES TO BOVINE HERPESVIRUS ! FROM SEQUENTIAL FUSION HETEROHYBRIDOMAS Randall L Levings, lone R Stoll assigned to The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture Stable heterohybridomas which secrete monoclonal antibodies to bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHVI) are obtained by fusing primed bovine

5028421 M E T H O D OF TREATING BIRDS Tommy L Fredericksen, James P Thaxton assigned to Embrex Inc A method of treating birds by administering birds in ovo a T-cell growth factor comprising avian IL-2 is disclosed. The method is preferably carried out on chickens with 30K chicken IL-2 on about the eighteenth day of incubation. The method may be employed to increase the weight of treated birds after hatch. A vaccine may optionally be administered concurrently with the avian 1L-2.
