Effect of selenium on the immune response of sheep vaccinated with ppr vaccine
Abstract: Then Balady sheep susceptible to PPR [Peste des petite ruminant] virus were used in a six –month trial to study the effect of selenium on the humoral immune response of PPR vaccine . they were divided into two groups each of five sheep, control group vaccinated subcutaneously with 1ml PPR vaccine containing 103 TCID50 / ml, test group vaccinated with 1ml PPR vaccine added to it 5 mg selenium (as sodium selenite dissolved in the diluent). Blood samples were drown weekly for four week then every two week up to 24 weeks post vaccination and assayed for serum selenium concentration, and antibody titers using serum neutralization test and ELISA technique. Compared with those sheep receiving the PPR vaccine alone (control group), sheep received selenium had higher serum selenium concentration and a significant increase in antibody titre during the whole experimental period. Selenium was proved to be immunopotentiating to PPR vaccine in sheep
