Abstract: A method of making a vaccine using animal derived component free (ADCF) cell culture technology, including the steps of attaching ADCF-adapted cells to a microcarrier including an attachment mechanism for attaching filipodia of the cells, the microcarrier being in a culture, growing the cells in ADCF maintenance media, infecting the cells with vaccine media, producing virus within the cells, and harvesting the virus. A vaccine produced by the above method in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A vaccine production structure of ADCF-adapted cells removably attached to microcarrier beads including an attachment mechanism for attaching filipodia of the cells.

Abstract: A bovine vaccine composition comprising an immunogenically active component having inactivated bovine Trichomonas cells or antigens derived therefrom, in combination with an effective amount of an immunogenically suitable adjuvant; and a veterinary pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or dilent. The vaccine composition is useful to prevent Tritrichomonas (Trichomonas), e.g., T. foetus, infection in bovine, and may also be combined with other vaccine compositions or therapy. A method for preventing Trichomonas infection in bovine is also provided.
