The effect of acetylethyleneimine upon a strain of inactivated foot-and-mouth disease virus stored at 4 degrees C
Abstract
The presence of either thiosulphate-neutralized or free AEI was shown to degrade inactivated foot-and-mouth disease virus Type O (Hong Kong) antigen during storage at 4 degrees C. Deterioration was evident after 20 weeks of storage and little antigen remained at 36 weeks. Optimum stability was obtained by removing the residual inactivant immediately after inactivation.
