Development of “ghost”Salmonellavaccines, inactivated by using a hybrid nanomaterial based on silver nanoparticles (AgNps) stabilized via polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), is an innovative approach in vaccine production. For this purpose, a series of attempts to establish the components of the polyvalent “ghost”Salmonellavaccine and the most suitable methods for its preparation were performed. The following strainsS.Enteritidis,S.Newport-Puerto Rico, andS.Typhimurium were chosen as appropriate candidates for their incorporation in order to create polyvalentSalmonella“ghost” vaccine for veterinary use.
"Ghost" vaccines are an innovative idea to obtain better results of immunization due to the presence of fuller spectrum of saved antigenic determinants and development of protective immunity. E.coli O 104 was tested with the aim to be studied as potential ghost vaccine. For this purpose, the strain E.coli O 104 was inactivated by silver nanoparticles (AgNps) stabilized in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in order to produce "ghost" cells. An experiment with rabbits immunized with E.coli O 104 antigen treated according to the classical heat treatment method and other E.coli O 104 antigen inactivated with the tested AgNps/PVA hybrid material showed the advantage of the second used inactivated antigen. It was established that the specific titer of the immunized with "ghost" cells rabbit which were obtained by inactivated with AgNps/PVA antigen was earlier achieved and the protective immunity was equivalent to that of processed antigen according to a classical methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
