We report the development of an IHNV vaccine produced by a new protein production system based on the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. The subunit vaccines that were tested contain a 184 amino acid segment of the IHNV glycoprotein in different fusion arrangements with the C. crescentus S-layer protein. Relative percent survival of 26 to 34% was demonstrated in rainbow trout fry for a vaccine that contained the 184 amino acid segment of the IHNV glycoprotein fused to the C-terminal one-quarter… CONTINUE READING
