[Comparative study of the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of new Soviet and commercial vaccines for preventing...

In this article the results of testing Soviet vaccines for the prophylaxis of Japanese encephalitis, cell-culture inactivated adsorbed liquid vaccine and brain-tissue purified dried vaccine, are generalized and the comparison of their reactogenicity and immunogenicity characteristics with those of a similar commercial preparation manufactured by Toshiba Kagaku Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Japan) is made. Cell-culture inactivated liquid vaccine has proved to be the optimal preparation: it produces the most prolonged and intensive immunity and, when introduced by two methods, shows low reactogenicity.
