Subject: Re: SUV40- Fromm D Lymphoma connection?
Hi Tansy,
I will try to clear some of your confusion.
Fromm-D was actually a chicken embryo cell culture vaccine.
(This is very similar to the Fervac-D vaccine.)
The newer version Galaxy-D is a simian (monkey) cell culture
vaccine. No virus involved in either of these 2 vaccines.
The new Merial Purevax-D is a recombinant vaccine
using a canary pox virus as a carrier. They also use this
canary pox vector in their dog vaccines. No vaccine connection
to lymphoma, but there may be a ferret retro virus involved in
lymphoma.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
