Autogenous vaccines from Cambridge Technologies are the most science-driven solution available to veterinarians today. Even in cases where there is a commercial product available, such as with Pinkeye, differences in causative agents, as well as strain variation, create a need for a customized autogenous solution. The first step in our Precision Vaccinology™ process is an in-depth and detailed diagnostic workup to determine the exact strain(s) of the causative agent(s) affecting the animals.
- Bacteriology including culture and sensitivity
- Virus Isolation
- Full menu of molecular options:
-
- Third-generation complete genome sequencing
- Metagenomics
- MLST
- Toxin Typing
- Multiplex PCR panels for BRD, Pinkeye, Enteric
- BVD qPCR and PI ID
Building on a comprehensive diagnostic report, our experienced Technical
Services veterinarians work with practitioners to build a vaccine that
is customized to their specific needs:
- Isolate selection
- Delivery/adjuvant selection
- Label directions
- Dose sizes
- Label color
Our unique, proprietary SCORE process optimizes the relevant antigens by causing bacteria to express unique core proteins. The result is a more powerful vaccine:
Identification
Selects and improves expression of surface and cross-reactive antigens for broader coverage
Expression
Elicits both gram-positive and gram-negative antigen responses
Recognition
Better antigen expression results in enhanced immune recognition
Unlike commercial products which can take years to license, autogenous biologicals can be formulated, manufactured, tested, and released in a matter of months if not weeks. This speedy turnaround enables veterinarians to target the most current disease threats.
The very nature of autogenous products lends itself to great flexibility in formulation. Just as disease strains and threats evolve and change over time, an autogenous vaccine from Cambridge Technologies can easily be reformulated to continue mirroring the current situation based on ongoing disease monitoring. We also offer the option of a Superconcentrate formulation in the face of a sudden break.
Customer support is at the foundation of what we do. Our experienced team partners with veterinarians and cattlemen through every step from collecting initial diagnostic samples to ongoing inventory management and forecasting, making the entire process as simple as possible.
The Precision Vaccinology® process is designed to give veterinarians the information and tools needed to solve the unique and ever-changing disease problems facing herds in their care. We have experienced personnel and advanced technologies to manage this entire process for you.
From the get-go, when we got that first batch, we haven’t really looked back. It’s simple and the quality is, I think, outstanding. It’s really been a good tool for our clients to be able to give them a single-dose autogenous and has the technology to not have to get the cattle back in/off of pasture to give them a second dose.
Most calf raisers give nine to fourteen injections before day 60 of age in a calf. I can take it down to one. That’s a no-brainer.
We had such a serious salmonella problem that when we first got the SoliDose vaccine, we gave 2,000 doses to the entire milking herd – and they barely skipped a beat. I was very impressed with the low endotoxins and how the product really did an amazing job of shutting down the problem.
In a veterinary practice, our job is to enhance animal health and reduce client costs, and we like to see those results. They (Cambridge) aren’t MBAs trying to drive the bottom line. They’re trying to maximize animal health. They enjoy doing that.
