Summary for Patent: 4,530,832
Title: Method of vaccination for prevention of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection
Abstract:Viable cells of an avirulent self-clearing strain of B. bronchiseptica are administered as an intra-respiratory vaccine. An aqueous suspension of the cells is applied to the respiratory mucosa immediately after incorporating a non-inhibitory amount of a wetting agent promoting the mucosal implantation of the cells. Effective immunization can thereby be obtained against diseases such as kennel cough in dogs and atrophic rhinitis in swine even through the strain of B. bronchiseptica is so highly attenuated that it is self-clearing from the respiratory mucosa.

Application Number:06/304,215
Patent Claims:1. A method of obtaining effective implant colonization when subjecting an animal subject to Bordetella bronchiseptica infection to intra-respiratory vaccination with a live avirulent strain of B. bronchiseptica which has been attenuated to the extent that it is self-clearing from the respiratory mucosa of the animal to be immunized, comprising:

(a) immediately prior to said vaccination combining freeze-dried viable cells of said avirulent self-clearing strain with sterile water containing a wetting agent to form an aqueous suspension of said cells, said suspension containing at least 1.times.10.sup.6 of said viable cells per milliliter, the amount of said wetting agent in said suspension being selected to be non-inhibitory to the growth of said cells while promoting implantation of said cells in respiratory mucosa; and

(b) administering the resulting wetting agent-containing suspension by applying it to the respiratory mucosa of said animal.

2. The method of claim 1 in which said animal is a dog, said immunization is for prevention of kennel cough, and said administration is by intrapharyngeal application.

3. The method of claim 1 in which said animal is a swine, and immunization is for prevention of atrophic rhinitis and turbinate atrophy, and said administration is by intranasal application.

4. The method of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 in which said wetting agent is a non-ionic wetting agent.

5. The method of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 in which said wetting agent is octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol which is present in said suspension in a concentration of about 0.01% based on the water therein.

6. The method of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 in which said viable cells are cells of the B. bronchiseptica strain ATCC No. 31437, and in which said wetting agent is octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol which is present in said suspension in a concentration of about 0.01% based on the water therein.

7. The method of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 in which said viable cells are cells of the B. bronchiseptica strain ATCC No. 31437, and in which said wetting agent is a non-ionic wetting agent.

8. The method of claim 1 or claim 2 or claim 3 in which said viable cells are cells of the B. bronchiseptica strain ATCC No. 31437.
