The avian EB66® cell line, derived from duck embryonic stem cells, has been widely used for producing human and animal therapeutic proteins and vaccines. In current study we evaluated the potential use of EB66® cell line in a cell culture-derived duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) vaccine development. After optimizing the growth conditions of DTMUV HB strain in EB66® cells, we successfully generated three batches of viruses with ELD₅₀ titres of 10⁵.⁹/0.1 ml, 10⁵.³/0.1 ml and 10⁵.⁵/0.1 ml, respectively, for using in the preparation of inactivated vaccines. The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of these EB66® cells-derived inactivated vaccines were examined in ducks. Results indicated that all three batches of vaccines induced haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody response in immunized birds at 2 weeks after a single immunization. Immunized ducks and ducklings were protected against a virulent challenge at 4 weeks after a booster immunization. The duration of immunity was for 3–4 months after a booster immunization. These results demonstrated the feasibility of using EB66® cell line to grow up DTMUV for vaccine preparation. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Duck Tembusu virus can be propagated in EB66® cells. EB66® cell-derived inactivated DTMUV vaccines are immunogenic and can provide protection against a virulent challenge. A long-lasting immunity is induced after a booster immunization.
