Abstract |
This work deals with the cellular and humeral immune response in sheep
vaccinated with a trivalent inactivated oil Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)
vaccine produced locally in Egypt.
Thirty sheep were vaccinated with the Egyptian FMD inactivated trivalent
oil vaccine using a dose of 1.5 ml/animal inoculated subcutaneously
while ten sheep were kept as control. Delta optical density of
lymphocyte blastogenesis assay at day 0, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post
vaccination (DPV) showed that there was a significant difference between
vaccinated and control groups started at 3 DPV and increased gradually
till 21 DPV. The phagocytic percentage started at 3 DPV and reached its
highest (P<0.05) at 21 DPV. Regarding the phagocytic index, there was a
significant difference (P<0.05) between vaccinated and control sheep
groups starting at 3 DPV with its highest value at 21 DPV. At day 0, 3,
7, 14, 21 and 28 DPV an increase in the mean IL-6 and IL-12
concentration with a significant difference between the vaccinated group
and the control group at 3 DPV and gradual increase (P<0.05) at 21 DPV
was observed. In addition, serum neutralization and ELISA tests revealed
that all vaccinated sheep exhibited detectable antibody levels against
the three serotypes of FMDV from the first week post vaccination (WPV)
and became protective at 3rd WPV. We concluded from the
results that immune response was improved by the Egyptian FMD vaccine.
