Objective To prepare a specific multivalent immunoglobulin of yolk (IgY) against multi-virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp). Methods The purified recombinant BabA2, UerB and FlaA of Hp were mixed equally with adjuvant, and then used to immunize egg-laying hens to produce specific multivalent IgY. Next, the biological characteristics of purified IgY were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western blot and ELISA. To analyze the inhibition effects of multivalent IgY on the growth of Hp in vitro, Hp was co-cultured with different final concentration of IgY (1, 5, 10) mg/mL in the presence or absence of antibiotics. Results After immunization, the titer of egg yolk IgY reached up to 1:150 000. Furthermore, the bacteriostasis assay showed that the multivalent IgY had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of Hp at 5 mg/mL, and the combination with amoxicillin could further inhibited the growth of Hp. Conclusion The specific multivalent IgY against Hp is successfully prepared.

Avian coccidiosis arises from co-infection involving multiple species, which could give rise to substantial economic losses in the global poultry industry. As a result, multivalent anticoccidial vaccines containing common antigens offer considerable promise for controlling co-infection in clinical practice. In our previous study, Elongation factor 2 (EF2) was deemed as an immunogenic common antigen across various species.

Background: The oral chicken immunoglobulin Y (IgY) as a novel model of immunotherapy to control Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori, Hp) infection has gained much interest in recent years. However, none of the current IgY therapies showed a total eradication of H.

One of the major bacterial infectious diseases in the poultry industry is avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), which causes colibacillosis in chickens. To develop a novel nucleic acid-free bacterial ghost (BG) vaccine against the O78:K80 serotype of APEC, in this study we constructed a plasmid that harbored E-lysis and S nuclease (SNUC). Following the expression, the O78:K80 bacteria lost all of their cytoplasmic content and nucleic acids by enzymatic digestion.

Background: Avian coccidiosis is often caused by co-infection with several species of Eimeria worldwide. Developing a multivalent vaccine with an antigen common to multiple Eimeria species is a promising strategy for controlling clinical common co-infection of Eimeria. In the previous study, 14-3-3 was identified as one of the immunogenic common antigen in E.
