Attempts were made to immunise cattle against the herpesvirus of malignant catarrhal fever by inoculating living or formalinised preparations of the agent, propagated in cell cultures and combined with Freund's incomplete adjuvant. High and persistent levels of virus-neutralising antibody were regularly demonstrable, especially following two intramuscular inoculations at an interval of six to eight weeks. In spite of this no protection was demonstrable against parenteral challenge with virulent virus, whether in cell-free or cell-associated form. In a controlled field trial vaccinated cattle showed no evidence of protection against natural challenge by exposure to wildebeest herds. It was concluded that humoral mechanisms are probably not important in determining resistance to infection with virulent MCFV.
