A dengue 4 (DEN-4, strain 1036-PDK 48) vaccine attenuated by passage in primary dog kidney cells was tested using rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and cynomolgus (M. fascicularis) monkeys to determine its safety, potency, and immunogenicity. 14 rhesus monkeys were divided into 3 groups: group 1, 2 animals given control culture fluid; group 2, 2 animals given DEN-4 parental virus; group 3, 10 animals given DEN-4 vaccine virus. 10 cynomolgus were similarly grouped, but group 3 contained 6 monkeys. No significant neurovirulence was observed with parental or with DEN-4 virus passaged in primary dog kidney (PDK) cells. Both cynomolgus monkeys inoculated with DEN-4 vaccine virus developed minimal (V-1) and mild (V-2) neurovirulence-type lesions in the central nervous system, which were nondestructive in both species. All parental and vaccine viruses produced moderate to high neutralizing antibody titres. Only parental virus produced viraemia, in 2 cynomolgus monkeys. Because of its safety and avirulence in monkeys, PDK 48 is recommended for human trial.

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).
