Abstract
We expressed three Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae ApxI deletion derivatives to map the domain that could induce protective immunity. Antiserum to ApxI N-terminal covered by residues 40 to 380 was found to neutralize ApxI hemolytic activity but not ApxIII cytotoxicity. When used as a subunit vaccine in mice, this recombinant N-terminal fragment elicited protection against lethal infection with heterologous A. pleuropneumoniae serovars.Entities:
