It is known that the combined use of vaccines, cytokines and various immunomodulatory drugs contributes to the development of a full-fledged immune response. This approach makes it possible to enhance the immunogenicity of modern vaccines and to direct the development of immune responses according to the humoral or cellular type, depending on the properties of the pathogen of a particular disease. The improvement of preventive drugs due to their combined use with cytokines and immunomodulators increases the intensity of immunity, increases the level of production of specific immunoglobulins, the protectivity of antigens, and also reduces the manifestation of adverse reactions leading to post-vaccination complications.Immunomodulators are already successfully used in drugs intended for the treatment and prevention of chronic herpes infections and influenza vaccines. Numerous experimental and clinical data indicate a positive effect of the use of immunomodulatory drugs in the vaccination of various viral and bacterial infections, including particularly dangerous ones.Improving the specific prevention of cholera can be achieved through immunomodulatory agents that can stimulate the formation of a local and systemic immune response.We conducted a comparative assessment of the feasibility of the combined use of the cholera bivalent chemical vaccine (the Federal Government Health Institution Antiplague Research Institute “Microbe”) and immunomodulators in order to increase the effectiveness of cholera vaccination.Since the cholera vaccine causes the activation of the humoral immune response, the production of specific immunoglobulins in the body of vaccinated experimental animals and the effect of immunomodulators on this process at different times of the post-vaccination period were evaluated.The ability of immunomodulators to increase the protective activity of the cholera vaccine was studied by infecting animals with a virulent strain of cholera one month and seven months after vaccination.It was found that immunomodulators increase the immunogenicity and protectivity of antigens that are part of the anti-cholera vaccine. The use of all immunopreparations increases the production of specific immunoglobulins in the serum of vaccinated experimental animals. It was shown that in the first month after vaccination, polyoxidonium most effectively stimulated the formation of antibodies, but lycopide contributed to a longer retention of anti-cholera immunoglobulins in the serum of vaccinated rabbits. The combined use of the vaccine and lycopide prevented the development of cholera in all animals taken in the experiment, including those vaccinated with a reduced dose. In the long-term post-vaccination period, this immunomodulator increased the protectiveness of the anti-cholera vaccine by three times. Polyoxidonium and derinate also increased the protective effect of the cholera vaccine, but were slightly inferior to lycopide. The combined use of cholera vaccine and immunomodulators, especially lycopide, can be used to improve specific cholera prevention.

Abstract Vaccination is a primary way to prevent infectious disease in poultry. The quality of immune response depends on the immune status of the body which, in turn, depends on many endogenous and exogenous factors. This study analyzed the effect of the immunomodulatory drug Azoxivet on the immune response in laying hens after vaccination against Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bursal Disease. There were 4 groups of Loman White cross laying hens (n=20). At age 120 days, all hens habitated in individual cages with an area of 0,15 m2. The conditions of keeping and feeding matched breed requirements. All groups were vaccinated against Newcastle Disease (NDV) (LaSota strain) and Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) (Winterfield 2512 strain). All groups received Azoxivet (Az) at a dose of 0,3 mg/kg in water three times daily. Blood sera were collected weekly for serological studies using BioChek IBD and NDV test systems. The antibody level of all hens before and after vaccination: 1378 (IBD+Az) vs. 1674,93 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 5194,75 (NDV+Az) vs. 5612,87 (NDV) (P < 0,05). After one week of vaccination: 5931,25 (IBD+Az) vs. 5006,14 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 6207,58 (NDV+Az) vs. 5765,21 (NDV) (P < 0,05). Two weeks: 11086,00 (IBD+Az) vs. 10485,83 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 11255,25 (NDV+Az) vs. 8478,75 (NDV) (P < 0,05). Three weeks: 11478 (IBD+Az) vs. 8286 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 14725 (NDV+Az) vs. 12677 (NDV) (P < 0,05). Four weeks: 12999 (IBD+Az) vs. 1009,67 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 17399 (NDV+Az) vs. 16373,17 (NDV) (P < 0,05). Five weeks: 13601,15 (IBD+Az) vs. 9021,30 (IBD) (P < 0,05), 19671 (NDV+Az) vs. 16309 (NDV) (P < 0,05). Thus, Azaxul had a positive influence on the post-vaccination immune response in laying hens when used after Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bursal Disease vaccines. The results of the study can be used to improve disease prevention in poultry farming.

The review is devoted to specific aspects of the development of post-vaccination immunity following immunisation with different types of antiviral vaccines, as well as to ways of increasing immunogenicity of vaccines and effectiveness of preventive vaccination. Vaccines containing highly purified and recombinant antigens obtained using modern technologies have lower reactogenicity and a higher safety profile, but are less immunogenic compared to live vaccines. Effective vaccines have not been developed for many viral infections yet. Therefore, it is critical to search for ways to enhance immunogenic properties of vaccines in order to increase the efficiency of vaccination, and to develop new vaccine formulations that provide reliable protection of the body against infection. The aim of the paper was to analyse specific aspects of immune response development following immunisation with antiviral vaccines, and approaches to increasing their immunogenicity using adjuvants. It reviews different types of antiviral vaccines, as well as specific aspects of immune response development depending on the nature of a specific antigen. The paper substantiates the use of adjuvants to enhance and regulate the induced immune response. It analyses mechanisms that determine the stimulating effect of adjuvants and summarises data on the adjuvants used in the licensed vaccines for human use. The authors highlight the need for further research to increase the efficiency of vaccination and suggest that one of potential solutions is the use of adjuvants based on recombinant human cytokines.

The aim of our research was to diminish the damaging effect of vaccination on the quality of stallion sperm and its cryostability. The task was to study the effect of the complex vitamin of tetrahydrovit on sperm parameters under conditions of vaccination against leptospirosis. Stallions that were vaccinated against leptospirosis were divided into 3 groups: the first –control, without vitamin supplements, the second – with the addition of 2 ml of tetrahydrovit vitamin daily, the third group – intramuscular injection of tetrahydrovit 1 time in 7 days. The reaction of the body to the introduction of the vaccine in the group without vitamins proceeded with a significant decrease in the quality of sperm in the first two weeks. Later, the motility and the number of whole membranes of fresh sperm gradually improved, but the survival rate of chilled and frozen sperm remained low until the end of the observations. Among stallions in the experimental groups, which were given tetrahydrovit vitamin (orally or intramuscularly), the decrease in sperm parameters was insignificant, within the usual fluctuations, which allowed one to avoid culling spermodoses. Tetrahydrovit vitamin promotes a stabilizing effect on the quality indicators of sperm of stallions-producers after vaccination.

This study was conducted to find out hepatoprotective activity of hesperidin (HES) 100mg/kg body weight (b.w.) against ciprofloxacin (CPX) 100 mg/kg induced hepatotoxicity in local breed rabbits .CPX is a broad spectrum antibiotic used for treatment of many bacterial infections. Twenty four male rabbits were divided into four groups ,group1: control, (1 ml/kg Saline orally) group 2: CPX (100 mg/kg orally) for (14) consecutive days , group 3: HES (100 mg//kg) orally for (14) consecutive days group 4: CPX (100 mg/kg orally) plus HES (100 mg//kg orally ) for (14) consecutive days. All the rabbits were killed on the (15) day of the experiment, and then the blood, and livers samples were taken. CPX induced hepatotoxicity was proved by a significant (p less than 0.01) reduction in the body weight ,and a significant (p less than 0.01) increased serum aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) , Malonaldehyde enzyme (MAD) and histopathological changes. Protective hepatic toxicity effect and oxidative damage caused by CPX significantly (p less than 0.01) increasing in body weight and significantly (p less than 0.01) decreasing AST , ALT, MAD and improving tissue morphology in HES (100 mg//kg) . These results assure that HES (100 mg//kg) antioxidant effects can protect CPX-induced hepatotoxicity in rabbits.

The results of researches on the peculiarities of metabolism in the body of horses of Yakut breed in the winter and spring periods under the environments of Central Yakutia have been presented in the article. Physiological experiments on the digestibility of the main nutrients of the feed have been carried out in the winter (February) and spring (April) periods under the environments of the physiological yard in the Yakutsk Scientific and Research Institute of Agriculture named after M. G. Safronov with using the classical method. Five mares and five geldings of Yakut breed have been selected for researches. The average live weight of mares was 378–410 kg, geldings 394–403 kg. The experimental animals had average fatness. It has been found a higher intake of energy and the main nutrients of hay as a mono feed in winter compared to the spring period. At the same time pregnant mares in winter have been consumed 103,8±3,12 MJ of metabolic energy per head/day, which was 27,3 % significantly higher than in the spring period – 75,4±2,18 MJ (P ≥ 0,999). Geldings have been consumed in the experiment 67,70±2,85 MJ, which was by 43,7 % higher than in the spring period – 38,05 ± 4,40 MJ of metabolic energy per head/day (P ≥ 0,999). Experimental animals have been housed in stalls; there was no energy expenditure for movement, so the amount of energy consumed in winter indicates the production of heat in the animal’s body. Pregnant mares per 100 kg of live weight have consumed 31,5±4,11 MJ of metabolic energy or 33,3 % more than in the spring period – 21,0±1,98 MJ; geldings have consumed 27,69±1,12, which was 41,78 % significantly higher than in the spring – 16,12 ± 0,75 MJ (P ≥ 0,999). The high intake of metabolic energy into the body of Yakut horses in winter is explained by the manifestation of adaptive mechanisms that affect the effective metabolism for survival, adapted to frequent changes in weather conditions and sharp temperature changes. The established differences in the biochemical parameters of blood serum of horses of Yakut breed are associated with changes in the consumption and digestibility of basic nutrients and energy, depending on the ambient temperature.

Piscirickettsia Salmonis

Piscirickettsia salmonis, the etiological agent of the Salmon Rickettsial Septicemia (SRS), is one the most serious health problems for the Chilean salmon industry. Typical antimicrobial strategies used against P. salmonis include antibiotics and vaccines, but these applications have largely failed. A few years ago, the first attenuated-live vaccine against SRS (ALPHA JECT LiVac® SRS vaccine) was released to the market. However, there is no data about the agents involved in the activation of the immune response induced under field conditions. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the expression profile of a set of gene markers related to innate and adaptive immunity in the context of a cellular response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared under productive farm conditions and immunized with a live-attenuated vaccine against P. salmonis. We analyzed the expression at zero, 5-, 15- and 45-days post-vaccination (dpv). Our results reveal that the administration of the attenuated live SRS LiVac vaccine induces a short-term upregulation of the cellular-mediated immune response at 5 dpv modulated by the upregulation of ifnα, ifnγ, and the cd4 and cd8α T cell surface markers. In addition, we also registered the upregulation of il-10 and tgfβ. Altogether, the results suggest that a balanced activation of the immune response took place only at early times post-vaccination (5 dpv). The scope of this short-term upregulation of the cellular-mediated immune response against a natural outbreak in fish subjected to productive farm conditions deserves further research.

Chlamydia is a significant pathogen for many species, including the much-loved Australian marsupial, the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). To combat this situation, focused research has gone into the development and refinement of a chlamydial vaccine for koalas. The foundation of this process has involved characterising the immune response of koalas to both natural chlamydial infection as well as vaccination. From parallels in human and mouse research, it is well-established that an effective anti-chlamydial response will involve a balance of cell-mediated Th1 responses involving interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), humoral Th2 responses involving systemic IgG and mucosal IgA, and inflammatory Th17 responses involving interleukin 17 (IL-17) and neutrophils. Characterisation of koalas with chlamydial disease has shown increased expression within all three of these major immunological pathways and monitoring of koalas’ post-vaccination has detected further enhancements to these key pathways. These findings offer optimism that a chlamydial vaccine for wider distribution to koalas is not far off. Recent advances in marsupial genetic knowledge and general nucleic acid assay technology have moved koala immunological research a step closer to other mammalian research systems. However, koala-specific reagents to directly assay cytokine levels and cell-surface markers are still needed to progress our understanding of koala immunology.
