Inactivated vaccine against canine leptospirosis
Composition - 1 ml:
Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae inact. min. titre 32 defined by MAT*)
Leptospira canicola inact. min. titre 32 defined by MAT*)
Leptospira grippotyphosa inact. min. titre 32 defined by MAT*)
2% aluminium hydroxide gel, sodium merthiolate, culturing medium.
Characteristics:
The vaccine contains the purified, inactivated germs of leptospires adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide gel. The third leptospire serovar (L. grippotyphosa, L. sejroe, L. Bratislava, etc.) can be added into the vaccine according to the actual conditions of the infectious state.
Effect method: The antigen contained in the vaccine - after it is applied into the body of the vaccinated individual - is detected as the foreign body and therefore the great number of the protective mechanisms of the organism are activated (macrophages, opsonins, interleukins, B lymphocytes, etc.) due to which the specific antibodies against the antigenic determinants contained in the vaccine are formed. Said specific antibodies will prevent the subsequent infection onset after infecting.
Indication:
For the active immunization of dogs against the most often occurring leptospira serovars. Animals aged 8 weeks and above can be vaccinated.
