Mice were immunized with rVVgB and pgB with or without codelivery of pCCR7L. Serum samples and genital tract wash fluid were collected at 14 days after boost (primary response) and 60 days after boost (memory response). ELISA for antibody detection was performed as described in Materials and Methods. Data represent means ± standard deviations for four animals per group in one experiment from two performed. †, P ≤ 0.05 in comparison to rVVgB-, β-Gal-, and PBS-treated mice; ††, P ≤ 0.05 in comparison to rVVgB-, β-Gal-, and PBS-treated mice; †††, P ≤ 0.05 in comparison to all groups.

b

ND, not detected.

c

pβ-Gal, plasmid DNA encoding β-Gal.

d

UV-HSV, UV-inactivated HSV.
