In vivo protective immunity. A gum pocket model with abscesses and swollen tissues was created, as described in Fig. 2A and Section 2. After inoculation with live F. nucleatum (4 × 108 CFU) for 3 days, the change in the volume of gum swelling in the F. nucleatum- (solid circles) and S. mutans- (open circles) immunized mice was recorded for 150 h. Bars represent mean ± SE (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005 using Student’s t-test).
