Figure 4. Ad2 fiber protein enhances the nasal immunogenicity of BoNT/A β-trefoil in Dutch Belted rabbits.

Figure 4

Female Dutch Belted rabbits (4 per group) were nasally immunized on days 0, 14, 28 and 91 with the indicated vaccine formulation. Serum collected on days 27, 41 and 105 was tested for the presence of anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG by ELISA. a: serum anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG titers significantly greater than those induced by nasal immunization with Hcβtre or nasal immunization with Hcβtre + C48/80. b: serum anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG titers significantly greater than those induced by nasal immunization with Hcβtre, nasal immunization with Hcβtre + C48/80 or nasal immunization with Hcβtre-Ad2F. c: serum anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG titers significantly greater than those induced by nasal immunization with Hcβtre, nasal immunization with Hcβtre + CT, nasal immunization with Hcβtre + C48/80. d: serum anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG titers significantly greater than those induced by nasal immunization with Hcβtre or nasal immunization with Hcβtre + C48/80. e: serum anti-BoNT/A β-trefoil IgG titers significantly greater than those induced by nasal immunization with Hcβtre.
