Abstract

Abstract A safe, efficacious vaccine for protecting dogs against infection caused by canine parvovirus is produced by prolonged serial passages in non-oncogenic cell lines. One embodiment includes the use of sub-optimal temperatures (below that normal for the dog) during passaging.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A method of protecting dogs from infection caused by canine parvovirus comprising inoculating an animal with modified living canine parvovirus vaccine (CPV) prepared in accordance with a procedure which comprises taking a seed of a virulent CPV strain and serially passaging the strain in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs until a non-virulent, immunizing virus is produced.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 63 words
A method of protecting dogs from infection caused by canine parvovirus comprising inoculating an animal with modified living canine parvovirus vaccine (CPV) prepared in accordance with a procedure which comprises taking a seed of a virulent CPV strain and serially passaging the strain in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs until a non-virulent, immunizing virus is produced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1 in which the serial passaging comprises at least 80 passages.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 2 in which the serial passaging comprises 108 passages.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 1 in which the passage temperature is approximately 33° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 45 words
The method of claim 1 in which the nononcogenic cell culture consists of a medium selected from the group consisting of MDCK cell line (CCL-34), canine kidney cells, mink lung cells, bovine fetal spleen cells, bovine testicular cells, feline lung cells, or feline renal cells.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 1 in which the virulent CPV strain is CPV-916.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 56 words
A modified live vaccine for protecting dogs against infection caused by canine parvovirus produced by a process comprising the steps of taking a seed of a virulent CPV strain and serially passaging the strain in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs with periodic tests until a non-virulent strain is produced.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 56 words
A modified live vaccine for protecting dogs against infection caused by canine parvovirus produced by a process comprising the steps of taking a seed of a virulent CPV strain and serially passaging the strain in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs with periodic tests until a non-virulent strain is produced.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 15 words
The vaccine of claim 7 in which the serial passaging comprising at least 80 passages.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 13 words
The vaccine of claim 8 in which the serial passaging comprises 108 passages.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 14 words
The vaccine of claim 7 in which the passage temperature is approximately 33° C.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 45 words
The vaccine of claim 7 in which the non-oncogenic cell culture consists of a medium selected from the group consisting of MDCK cell line (CCL-34), canine kidney cells, mink lung cells, bovine fetal spleen cells, bovine testicular cells, feline lung cells, or feline renal cells.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 13 words
The vaccine of claim 7 in which the virulent CPV strain is CPV-916.
Claim 15
Independent Claim 58 words
The method of producing a modified live vaccine for protecting dogs against canine parvovirus comprising the steps of: a. Starting with a seed of virulent CPV; b. Serially passaging the virus in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs; c. Periodically testing the passaged virus for virulence until a non-virulent virus is produced.
Claim 16
Independent Claim 58 words
The method of producing a modified live vaccine for protecting dogs against canine parvovirus comprising the steps of: a. Starting with a seed of virulent CPV; b. Serially passaging the virus in non-oncogenic cell cultures at a sub-optimal temperature at which CPV growth occurs; c. Periodically testing the passaged virus for virulence until a non-virulent virus is produced.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 13 in which the serial passaging comprises at least 80 passages.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 14 in which the serial passaging comprises 108 passages.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 13 in which the passage temperature is approximately 33° C.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim 45 words
The method of claim 13 in which the nononcogenic cell culture consists of a medium selected from the group consisting of MDCK cell line (CCL-34), canine kidney cells, mink lung cells, bovine fetal spleen cells, bovine testicular cells, feline lung cells, or feline renal cells.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 13 in which the virulent CPV strain is CPV-916.
