PspA | <20 | <20 | <20 | <200 |
PspA–IL-2 | 42,256 | 8,419 | 2,237 | <200 |

Groups of five DBA/2 mice were immunized i.n. with PspA–IL-2 (5 μg), PspA–GM-CSF (5 μg), or PspA (5 μg) on days 0, 7, and 14. Another group of mice were immunized s.c. with PspA (5 μg) in alhydrogel on day 0 and boosted with PspA (5 μg) on day 14. Mice were bled 14, 28, and 44 days later, and anti-PspA titers were determined by ELISA.
