Figure 6. Bacterial shedding after vaginal challenge with serovar K in mice immunized with Momp-based antigen combinations.

Figure 6

Groups of BALB/c mice were immunized with the various antigens (10 μg/per antigen) in AS01B Adjuvant System. UVEB from serovar E formulated with AS01B Adjuvant System served as a positive control of protection. Progesterone-treated mice were challenged with an intra-vaginal dose of 1×106 IFU of serovar K. Bacterial shedding was quantified by taking Swabs on day 7 post-infection and determining the IFU using McCoy cells. Horizontal bars represent median IFU from the respective groups of mice. **: P < 0.01, *: P < 0.05 compared with results from AS01B Adjuvant System control mice by unpaired t test. The figure is representative of two separate experiments.
