The standard six-dose intramuscular (i.m.) rabies post-exposure vaccine regimen using a new purified chick embryo cell (PCEC) vaccine was compared with two economical multisite intradermal (i.

Pre-exposure studies with purified chick embryo cell culture rabies vaccine and human diploid cell vaccine: serological and clinical responses in man.

Clinical reactions and neutralizing antibody responses to six pre-exposure regimens of purified chick embryo cell culture rabies vaccine (PCECV) and human diploid cell strain rabies vaccine (HDCSV) were studied in 177 volunteers. Antibody kinetics, height of the response and persistence of antibody over two years were virtually identical after PCECV and HDCSV. An antibody response was detected in all subjects on day 14 when the highest titres were found after two intramuscular (i.

Side effects of BCG vaccination with strain Copenhagen 1331.

In the Federal Republic of Germany a BCG vaccine of strain Copenhagen 1331 is used. This vaccine was delivered with a content of 100,000 to 200,000 viable units per dose. Even in this small range one can see a relationship between spontaneously reported side effects, especially suppurated lymphadenitis in newborns.

Purified chick embryo cell (PCEC) rabies vaccine for human use: clinical trials.

The purpose of the study was the clinical evaluation of the new PCEC-Rabies-Vaccine. In 620 healthy volunteers mild local side-reactions could be observed in less than 2% of the vaccinations. No relevant general reactions have been reported or seen after the 2200 injections apart three cases of urticaria.
