Abstract

The use of recombinant DNA technology to manufacture animal vaccines is a fairly recent development. However, several vaccines produced by this new technology now have been licensed by the USDA. These are mainly vaccines to prevent pseudorabies in swine but many others are in various stages of development. Veterinary practitioners need to understand the technology so that they can converse with clients about it. As more rDNA vaccine comes onto the market, clients may have questions regarding the safety and efficacy of these vaccines. It will become even more important to be knowledgeable about these products.
