Antibody response in cattle to oil emulsion rabies and ephemeral fever vaccines.

Abstract

A stable oil emulsion rabies vaccine with a low viscosity was composed by a formula previously employed for Newcastle disease vaccine. Cattle developed high and sustained antibody levels, and guinea pigs were found to be solidly immune after a single injection of this vaccine. Antibody responses in cattle to 2 oil emulsion ephemeral fever vaccines were not satisfactory after a single injection, and severe local reactions were encountered when booster injections were applied.
