Immunization of Chinese hamsters with rMBP ameliorates amoebic keratitis. (A) Hamsters were orally immunized with rMBP (100 [MU] μg) and were challenged with A. castellanii-infected contact lenses. The severity of infection was recorded beginning on postinfection day 5. The severity score was significantly lower for the rMBP-immunized group (solid circles) than for the sham-immunized control group (open circles). Data are presented as means ± standard errors (n = 6 for each group). (B) Representative photographs of eyes on postinfection day 12. *, P < 0.05 compared to control group.
