Manimaran, K., Singh, V.P., Ltu, K., Das, S., Kumar, A.A. and Srivastava, S.K. 2006. Immune responses against different inactivated vaccines of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri in goats. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 29: 117–120.
The immune response was monitored in goats inoculated with three different types of inactivated vaccines of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. Capri viz., lyophilized saponified whole cell vaccine containing 1 mg (WC1) or 2 mg (WC2) protein along with 3 mg saponin and lyophilized saponified sonicated vaccine containing 2 mg protein along with 3 mg saponin (SS2). The immune response was detected with the help of SAT, IHA, CFT and ELISA tests. Out of the three vaccines, the saponified sonicated M. capri vaccine was found better in eliciting humoral response in comparison to other whole cell vaccines.
