vaccine/inoculum that has been passed a number of times
Explanation:
Modified live (attenuated) vaccines contain living bacterial or viral organisms. They are usually collected from a field disease and then grown in abnormal host cells (viral) or media (bacterial) to change or attenuate the pathogen. Each time the pathogen is grown through a replication, it is called a passage, and it is administered back to the animal to see if it can still cause disease. After several passages, the pathogen begins to lose virulence factors, since it cannot cause disease in these unnatural host cells. Once the pathogen can no longer cause disease in the target species, it is then tested to see if it can confer protection. The final vaccine is usually passed a number of times beyond the passage where virulence is no longer seen to decrease the risk of reversion to virulent pathogen.
