title: An experimental anti-idiotype vaccine mimicking lipopolysaccharide gives protection against Pasteurella multocida type A infection in mice.
abstract: An anti-idiotype strategy was employed which showed that polyclonal anti-idiotype antibodies could be produced which could mimic a linear Pasteurella multocida lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule. These antibodies when used as vaccine antigens, induced antibodies which recognised LPS and imparted acquired protection upon syngeneic vaccinates challenged with homologous organisms.
