VACCINE AGAINST INFECTIOUS CAT PERITONITIS AND PROCEDURE FOR ITS PREPARATION

摘要

Feline infectious peritonitis is a disease of members of the genus Felix which is almost invariably fatal, and for which there is currently no vaccine available. Indeed many attempts to isolate and grow the virus have failed. By passaging a virulent isolate of felix infectious peritonitis virus in feline embryonic cell cultures until the infected cell cultrues exhibit a cytopathic effect, then inactivating the virus and presenting it in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, an inactivated vaccine suitable for immunisation purposes can be produced.
