[Serological response of the dog after primary antirabies vaccination using adjuvant or non-adjuvant vaccines]

The serological responses following a primary vaccination carried out one year before in two groups of dogs which received an inactivated cell culture vaccine containing or not an adjuvant (alumine-hydroxide) are compared. Neutralizing antibody titers assayed in mice, obtained with only one injection of the adjuvanted vaccine are at the same or a greater level than those induced by two injections of the non-adjuvanted vaccine administered two to four weeks apart (statutory schedule of rabies primary vaccination applied in France).
