IMMUNOBIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF AN ASSOCIATED VACCINE AGAINST IN-FECTIOUS KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS OF CATTLE BASED ON ANTIGENS OF BACTE-RIA MORAXELLA BOVIS AND MORAXELLA BOVOCULI

Abstract

An associated vaccine against infectious keratoconjunctivitis in cattle based on the antigens of the bacteria Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi is presented. As antigens, the vaccine con-tains formalin-inactivated cell suspensions of bacterial strains Moraxella bovis «G97-VNIVI» and Moraxella bovoculi «SH-CH6-DEP» taken in the same proportions and the adsorbent is 6 % alumi-num hydroxide gel. The results of studying the immunobiological properties of an associated vaccine against cat-tle ICC based on antigens of bacteria Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi are presented. The data obtained show that the associated vaccine remained sterile, harmless and antigenically active during the observation period.
