ABSTRACT
The antigenicity of three inactivated emulsified associated vaccines against viruses of chicken infectious bronchitis (IB), Newcastle disease (ND), and egg drop syndrome-76 (EDS-76) based on the oil adjuvant ISA-15 (O/W) was comparatively studied: (1) reference vaccine (IB+ND+EDS-76/ISA-15);(2) experimental vaccine (IB+NB+EDS-76/ISA-15-Nano) with a nanoscale-dispersed oil phase obtained by the use of a high-pressure homogenizer;(3) similar nano-scale vaccine (IB+NB+EDS-76+CoAA/ ISA-15-Nano) additionally supplemented with a copolymer of acrylic acid (CoAA). The in vivo tests of the vaccines on the chicks evidenced that both nano-scale vaccines enhanced the immune response in vaccinated chicks as compared to the reference vaccine and that supplementation with CoAA resulted in the highest postvaccinal antibody titers.
