Abstract

The procedures for the preparation of rinderpest hyperimmune sera in calves were studied. Calves were first immunized with rinderpest tissue culture virus -vaccine. 30 days following immunization the calves recevied three booster injections at weekly intervals with virulent rinder pest virus emulsion mixed with an oil adjuvent. A satisfactory hyper immune- serum was cbtained and used in the diagnosis of rinderpest, by using the immunodiffusion test.
