U.S. Vet. Lic. No.: 190
Description: LEUKOCELL� 2 is prepared by propagating FeLV, subgroups A, B, and C, in FeLV-transformed lymphoid cells. Viral antigens are chemically inactivated, combined with a sterile adjuvant to enhance the immune response, and packaged in liquid form.
LEUKOCELL� 2 is prepared from an FeLV-transformed lymphoid cell line that releases FeLV viral particles which are soluble in a cell culture medium.1 The practical benefit of this unique, patented feature is that production of immunosuppressive effects characteristic of fully assembled FeLV antigens, whether live or killed, is reduced.2-4 (See Safety and Efficacy).
Contains gentamicin as preservative.
Indications: LEUKOCELL� 2 is a multiple viral antigen vaccine for vaccination of healthy cats 9 weeks of age or older as an aid in preventing persistent viremia, lymphoid tumors caused by feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and diseases associated with FeLV infection.
Directions:
1. General Directions: Shake well. Aseptically administer 1 mL subcutaneously.
2. Primary Vaccination: Healthy cats 9 weeks of age or older should receive 2 doses administered 3-4 weeks apart.
3. Revaccination: Annual revaccination with a single dose is recommended.
Precaution(s): Store at 2�-7�C. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures may adversely affect potency. Do not freeze.
Use entire contents when first opened.
Sterilized syringes and needles should be used to administer this vaccine.
Caution(s): Certain postvaccination reactions may occur. (See Safety and Efficacy)
As with many vaccines, anaphylaxis may occur after use. Initial antidote of epinephrine is recommended and should be followed with appropriate supportive therapy.
This product has been shown to be efficacious in healthy animals. A protective immune response may not be elicited if animals are incubating an infectious disease, are malnouished or parasitized, are stressed due to shipment or environmental conditions, are otherwise immunocompromised, or the vaccine is not administered in accordance with label directions.
Warning(s): For veterinary use only.
Trial Data: Safety and Efficacy: The vaccine's safety and lack of immunosuppression have been demonstrated by the lymphocyte blastogenesis assay (LBA), differential and complete blood counts (CBC). LEUKOCELL� 2 stimulates and primes for antibody responses to gp70 glycoprotein, the tumor-specific antigen FOCMA (see Disease Description), as well as VN antigens.
