Saravanan, Nitin M. Kamble, Aravind S. Pillai and C. Madhan MohanIndian Veterinary Research Institute, IndiaNewcastle disease virus is an infectious disease of poultry which causes severe economic losses in domestic poultry. Newgeneration vaccines are currently in demand to avert deficiencies of vaccines currently in market. Among these, rationaldesign of vaccine candidate is a promising approach. Multi-epitopic DNA vaccine construct containing fusion and haemagglutininepitopes were designed with additional elements like endoplasmic reticulum secretory signal sequence, poly histidine and geneoptimization to improve immunogenicity. Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP70 was used as a genetic adjuvant to increase innateand adaptive immune responses. Transient expression of the construct was confirmed with an immunofluorescent assay in Verocells. The constructs were injected subcutaneously into 15 days-old specific pathogen free chickens. Immune responses werestudied with HI, ELISA, LTT and FACS assays. Protection was assessed by challenging with a virulent virus. HSP mediatedmulti epitopes improved the immune responses and conferred protection against Newcastle disease. The results indicate that arationally designed DNA vaccine construct can improve vaccine strategies involving nucleic acid immunizations.BiographySatish Gaikwad has completed his Ph.D. from IVRI, Izatnagar, Bareilly, UP, India.satish.bty@gmail.comJ <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>ISSN: 2157-7560, JVV an open access journal<strong>Vaccines</strong>-<strong>2013</strong>July 29-31, <strong>2013</strong>Volume 4 Issue 5Page 156
