title: The propagation of feline panleukopenia virus in micro-carrier cell culture and use of the inactivated virus in the protection of mink against viral enteritis.
abstract: Using microcarrier cell culture for the production of virus antigen, a formalin-inactivated feline panleukopenia virus vaccine was evaluated for protection of mink against specific mink enteritis virus infection. The vaccine showed a good immunogenic effect in mink when used either alone or in combination with Clostridium botulinum type C-toxoid and/or Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine. A single vaccination induced persistent immune responses for periods of at least 1 year, as evaluated by ELISA and challenge tests. Neither immunological interference between vaccine constituents nor adverse reactions were observed.
