ICC-1132 elicits anamnestic antibody responses in P. falciparum sporozoite-primed micea
Priming | Boost | IgG titer for:
|
|
---|---|---|---|
ELISA | IFA | ||
P. falciparum sporozoites | ICC-1132 | 103,213 | 327,680 |
P. falciparum sporozoites | HBc149 | 1,280 | 2,560 |
None | ICC-1132 | 101 | 320 |
BALB/c mice were primed with a single injection of 105 P. falciparum sporozoites. Approximately 3 months later, when ELISA GMTs were 970 (range, 320 to 2,560) and pooled sera IFA titer was 1,280, the sporozoite-primed mice were injected with 5 μg of ICC-1132 or HBc. Naïve mice received a single injection of ICC-1132 as control. IgG ELISA and IFA titers were determined 10 days after the boost.
