Abstract

The suspected immunopotentiator effect of ID-1 on the immune response and resistance to Pasteurella multocida infection was tested in rabbits. Different schemes of vaccination with Pasteurella multocida formalized and oil adjuvant vaccines were used in different groups of rabbits. High anti Pasteurella multocida antibodies and greater resistance to challenge infection with 100 LD50 of virulent Pasteurella multocida organism in the group of rabbits that received ID-1 and Pasteurella multocida vaccine simultaneously documented better immune response.
