Optimizing Vaccine Testing: A Comprehensive Guide to the Guinea Pig Model

Author: Viviana Parreo

Summary: This book provides a detailed overview of the development and statistical validation of a guinea pig model as an alternative for potency testing of viral antigens in combined vaccines used in cattle. The model allows for the testing of vaccine quality for all viral antigens included in both aqueous and oil-adjuvanted formulations of bovine vaccines in just one serum sample.

Key Features:

• Reviews combined vaccines used for cattle
• Summarizes animal models used for vaccine testing
• Focuses on bovine herpesviruses, rotaviruses, parainfluenza, and bovine viral diarrhea virus
• Provides guidance on the effectiveness of the Guinea Pig model for testing vaccine immunogenicity
