              Validation of γ-radiation and ultraviolet as a new inactivators

              Abstract 
 
              Aim: The present work deals 
              with different methods for foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) 
              inactivation for serotypes O/pan Asia, A/Iran05, and SAT-2/2012 by 
              heat, gamma radiation, and ultraviolet (UV) in comparison with the 
              traditional methods and their effects on the antigenicity of 
              viruses for production of inactivated vaccines.  
              Materials and Methods: FMDV types O/pan Asia, A/Iran05, and 
              SAT-2/2012 were propagated in baby hamster kidney 21 (BHK21) and 
              titrated then divided into five parts; the first part inactivated 
              with heat, the second part inactivated with gamma radiation, the 
              third part inactivated with UV light, the fourth part inactivated 
              with binary ethylamine, and the last part inactivated with 
              combination of binary ethylamine and formaldehyde (BEI+FA). 
              Evaluate the method of inactivation via inoculation in BHK21, 
              inoculation in suckling baby mice and complement fixation test 
              then formulate vaccine using different methods of inactivation 
              then applying the quality control tests to evaluate each 
              formulated vaccine.  
              Results: The effect of heat, gamma radiation, and UV on the 
              ability of replication of FMDV "O/pan Asia, A/Iran05, and 
              SAT-2/2012" was determined through BHK cell line passage. Each of 
              the 9 virus aliquots titer 108 TCID50 
              (3 for each strain) were exposed to 37, 57, and 77°C for 15, 30, 
              and 45 min. Similarly, another 15 aliquots (5 for each strain) 
              contain 1 mm depth of the exposed samples in petri-dish was 
              exposed to UV light (252.7 nm wavelength: One foot distance) for 
              15, 30, 45, 60, and 65 min. Different doses of gamma radiation 
              (10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 KGy) were applied in a 
              dose rate 0.551 Gy/s for each strain and repeated 6 times for each 
              dose. FMDV (O/pan Asia, A/Iran05, and SAT-2/2012) were inactivated 
              when exposed to heat ≥57°C for 15 min. The UV inactivation of FMDV 
              (O/pan Asia and SAT-2) was obtained within 60 min and 65 min for 
              type A/Iran05. The ideal dose for inactivation of FMDV (O/pan 
              Asia, A/Iran05, and SAT-2/2012) with gamma radiation were 55-60 
              and 45 kGy, respectively. Inactivation of FMDV with binary was 20, 
              24 and 16 hr for O/pan Asia, A/Iran05, and SAT-2/2012, 
              respectively while inactivation by (BEI+FA) was determined after 
              18, 19 and 11 hr for O/pan-Asia, A/Iran 05, and SAT-2/2012, 
              respectively. The antigenicity of control virus before 
              inactivation was 1/32, it was not changed after inactivation in 
              case of gamma radiation and (BEI+FA) and slightly decrease to 1/16 
              in case of binary and declined to 1/2, 1/4 in case of heat and UV 
              inactivation, respectively. The immune response induced by 
              inactivated FMD vaccines by gamma radiation and (BEI+FA) lasted to 
              9 months post-vaccination, while the binary only still up to 8 
              months post-vaccination but heat and UV-inactivated vaccines were 
              not effective. Conclusion: Gamma radiation could be considered a good new 
              inactivator inducing the same results of inactivated vaccine by 
              binary with formaldehyde (BEI+FA).
