Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal Publication Acceptance Date: 4/1/1996 Publication Date: N/A Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: This review focuses on the current status of research on recombinant DNA poultry vaccines. Potential recombinant sub-unit, gene deleted and vectored vaccines are described and their potential efficacies are discussed. The large number of recent reports describing recombinants indicates that researchers continue to be optimistic about the future of recombinant poultry vaccines. However, despite the reports, each with some claimed vaccine potential, no spate of efficacious recombinant poultry vaccines have materialized. It appears that considerable work remains before acceptable recombinant poultry vaccines are available.
