Assessment of a Probable Stabilizing Potentiative Effect of Trehalose Incorporation through PPR Attenuated Vaccine Production

Abstract: An introduced technical modification through the manufacture of live PPR vaccine was the incorporation of 1% trehalose dihydrate with the conventional 2.5% lactalbumin hydrolysate 5%-sucrose-stabilizer, just prior to lyophilization. This modification was proven quite efficacious to potentiate the thermotolerance of the lyophilized trehalose-treated PPR live vaccine as evidenced by minimized loss in virus TCID50 titers post exposure of the dried vaccine to 37oC as well as to 45oC for certain intervals. Such a modification did not interfere with the integrity of the vaccine virus particles as evidenced by significant neutralizing antibody response provoked in sheep inoculated with the trehalose-treated vaccine even though exposed to such temperatures.
