Abstract
A method of producing attenuated cells for a mammalian vaccine comprising killing or attenuating the cells with a high energy, low heat UV light.
Claims7
A method of producing a live or dead attenuated infectious cells comprising:
- a) isolating a plurality of infectious cells;
- b) selecting a high energy UV light source that delivers a low heat UV containing light to the end of a light guide;
- c) selecting the UV light source and output so that UV energy from the light source can selectively attenuate cells;
- and
- d) exposing the infectious cells to the light from the end of the light guide at sufficient distance and wherein the cells are exposed to the light from about 0.1 seconds to about 5 seconds to attenuate the cells without damaging cellular proteins and carbohydrates that produce the immune response to produce attenuated cells.

A method of producing a live or dead attenuated infectious cells comprising:
- a) isolating a plurality of infectious cells;
- b) selecting a high energy UV light source having an output of at least about 80 lumens per watt that delivers a low heat UV containing light to the end of a light guide;
- c) selecting the UV light source and output so that UV energy from the light source can selectively attenuate cells;
- and
- d) exposing the infectious cells to the light from the end of the light guide at sufficient distance and time to attenuate the cells without damaging cellular proteins and carbohydrates that produce the immune response to produce attenuated cells.
