Abstract
This invention relates to the cloning and characterization of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) genome, to the identification of cloned genes for host-protective antigens of IBDV, to the expression of cDNA inserts encoding the whole or part of host-protective antigens of IBDV in E.coli or other host cells, and to the use of the expressed antigens in the production of virus neutralizing antibodies in chickens. The invention also relates to the production of an effective sub-unit vaccine against IBDV utilizing the expressed antigens, as well as to the use of the expressed antigens in diagnostic tests, assays and the like.
