Abstract

The potency of live Newcastle disease vaccines was assessed by means of a multi-point challenge assay in vaccinated chicks. The assay was shown to give reproducible results and to be capable of detecting significant differences between the protective capacities of various vaccines. The International Reference Preparation of Newcastle Disease Vaccine (Live) was shown to be useful in controlling variable factors in the assay system and in standardising the measurement of potency.
