Protection Years in the Making

Veterinarians have been using vaccines for many years to help protect their patients, but Boehringer Ingelheim was the first to use recombinant technology to create pure, nonadjuvanted vaccines for felines. This is because several studies have shown that adjuvants in vaccines can lead to injection site reactions, injection site granulomas, and chronic inflammation in cats.1,2,3

 

Today, the PUREVAX line of vaccines is the only complete line of nonadjuvanted vaccines for cats and have been used to help protect millions of feline patients.4 In addition, PUREVAX feline vaccines uses innovative recombinant technology in some of the vaccines to delivered purified, targeted protection.

Safety. Purity. Proven Protection.

PUREVAX vaccines help protect cats from some of the most important infectious feline diseases. The versatile line allows for flexibility by using the core components alone or in combination with other antigens, depending on the individual need of each feline.

Why Choose Nonadjuvanted Vaccines?

Nonadjuvanted Vaccines

  • Stimulate robust humoral and cell mediated immunity 1,5
  • Use only a portion of the pathogenic organism, so there is no potential for reversion to virulence
  • Recommended by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) for administration to cats whenever possible3

Killed Adjuvanted Vaccines

  • Often contain a complete pathogenic organism
  • Adjuvants can present potential risks to feline patients such as injection site reactions, injection site granulomas, and chronic inflammation1,2,6

Recombinant Technology

Advancements in the fields of immunology and biotechnology led to the development of recombinant vaccines such as PUREVAX® Feline Rabies and PUREVAX® Feline Leukemia (FeLV).

 

The use of recombinant proteins allows for the targeting of immune responses focused against a few protective antigens.6 This allows our vaccines to be developed with only the necessary immunogenic protein(s) rather than the entire virus or bacteria, which means the vaccines can successfully generate a strong immune response without risk of reversion to virulence and without the addition of adjuvants.
