Knowledge of this information increases the quantity and quality of antigen in vaccine production process. For this purpose, 10-5 dilution of AIV (A/Chicken/Iran/99/H9N2) was inoculated (Intra-allantoic) into 400, 11-day old specific pathogen free (SPF) ECEs in the 0.1 mL per ECE rate and incubated in 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37.5, 38, 39 ˚C for 72 hr in 65% humidity. Early death embryos in first 24 hr were removed. Amnio-allantoic fluid was withdrawn into the measuring cylinder, and tested for hemagglutination (HA) activity and egg infective dose 50 (EID50). The utilizable ECEs and amnio-allantoic fluid volume was significantly increased in 35 ˚C, (p < 0.05). Significant difference in HA and EID50 titers, were seen only in 39 ˚C group. Therefore, 35°C is an optimum temperature for incubation of inoculated ECEs.
