| Abstract | ||||
| The experiment applied on four groups of calves, each of four calves. Three calves from each group were vaccinated with one of the following attenuated vaccines: Lumpy skin disease vaccine (LSD), Romanian sheep pox (RSP) vaccine, Held goat pox (HGP) vaccine and dual (bivalent) vaccine of SPV and GPV. All vaccines were evaluated by estimating the cellular immunity using lymphocyte blastogenesis measured by XTT assay, and humeral immunity using serum neutralization and ELISA tests of vaccinated calves. The NI coincided with the ELISA antibody results and corroborated the results of cell mediated immunity which demonstrated the capacity of LSD and dual vaccines to induce immune response higher than SP vaccine and GP vaccines. In conclusion, the current study proved that the LSD and dual vaccines were highly immunogenic than the RSP and HGP vaccines, and dual vaccine could be safely used for vaccination of cattle against lumpy skin disease. | ||||
