ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides new methods for preparing compositions for immunizing chickens against IBDV. The method comprises: amplifying RNA extracted from a chicken suspected of having IBDV by using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and a 3'end primer, referred to hereinafter as "Primer 1", which binds to a region of the negative strand of the VP2 gene of IBDV, said region extending from about nucleotide 2402 to about nucleotide 2463 on the negative strand, and a 5' end primer, referred to hereinafter as "Primer 2", which binds to a region of the positive strand of the VP2 gene, said region extending from about nucleotide 1424 to about nucleotide 1489 of the positive strand, to provide a PCR product of from about 733 to about 753 base pairs in length; digesting the PCR product with the restriction enzyme BstNI to provide BstNI restriction fragments; assaying the BstNI restriction fragments to determine the IBDV which has infected the chicken; isolating the IBDV from the chicken; treating the isolated IBDV to produce a killed virus or a live attenuated virus; and combining the killed virus or the live attenuated virus with a pharmacological carrier to provide a composition for immunizing chickens against infection from IBDV, particularly from infection with IBDV in the same class as the isolated virus. In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises digesting an aliquot of the PCR product with the restriction enzyme MboI to provide MboI restriction fragments; and assaying the MboI restriction fragments to further classify the IBDV which has infected the chicken.
