Their effect on immunoprophylaxis induction was then assessed by using different levels of immunogen/PCV and different adjuvants. 0.10M, 0.125% and 0.6% concentrations of binary ethylenimine, formaldehyde and phenol inactivated MG colonies within 24, 8 and 4 hours respectively. Formaldehyde inactivated vaccine with 1.5% Immunogen/PCV and montanide oil as adjuvant induced significantly (P<0.05) higher anti MG antibody titer than other locally prepared vaccines. Conclusion is that montanide oil adjuvated indigenous formalized bacterin can induce desired immune response. ©2015 PVJ. All rights reserved
