Abstract: An overview of in vivo induced antigen technology (IVIAT) will be presented, including a discussion of the advantages and limitations of this method. In vivo induced antigen technology (IVIAT) is a technique that identifies pathogen antigens that are immunogenic and expressed in vivo during animal infection. Over 20 different microbial pathogens have been or are known to be currently studied with this method. IVIAT is complementary to other techniques that identify genes and their products expressed in vivo. Genes and gene pathways identified by IVIAT may play roles in virulence or pathogenesis during animal infection, and may be appropriate for inclusion in therapeutic, vaccine or diagnostic applications.

Key words: ivi gene; IVIAT; principal; application; prospect
