Indian Immunologicals, Hyderabad.

Three groups of crossbred calves were vaccinated with FMD vaccine only, combined FMD + rabies vaccine and rabies vaccine alone. Efficacy of the vaccines was determined by serum antibody assay at different intervals postvaccination. The results of the study indicated that the immune response of animals to a single inoculation of FMD vaccine only as well as combined FMD + rabies vaccine was unsatisfactory due to maternally derived antibodies to FMD virus antigen. However two inoculations elicited a satisfactory antibody response to FMD virus antigens in both group of animals. Rabies antigen alone as well as combined FMD + rabies antigen induced satisfactory serum antibody titres to rabies antigen. There was no significantly different serological responses in animal administered FMD vaccine only, rabies vaccine only or combined FMD + rabies vaccine.

D009500	Neutralization Tests	The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011818	Rabies	Acute VIRAL CNS INFECTION affecting mammals, including humans. It is caused by RABIES VIRUS and usually spread by contamination with virus-laden saliva of bites inflicted by rabid animals. Important animal vectors include the dog, cat, bat, fox, raccoon, skunk, and wolf.

D011819	Rabies Vaccines	Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent and treat RABIES. The inactivated virus vaccine is used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis.
