Table 1. Total antibody positivity rate after single or double immunization.
Group | Vaccine or reagent | Anti-S | Anti-PreS1 | |||
Prime | Boost | Prime | Boost | Prime | Boost | |
1 | NS | NS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
2 | RVJ | RVJ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
3 | RVJSS1 | HBSS1 | 2/8 | 6/8 | 6/8 | 8/8 |
4 | HBSS1 | RVJSS1 | 5/8 | 7/8 | 8/8 | 8/8 |
5 | HBSS1+Al(OH)3 | RVJSS1 | 8/8 | 8/8 | 8/8 | 8/8 |
Note: Mice were randomly assigned to five groups (8/group). Except for the NS and RVJ mock groups, mice received different prime–boost vaccination regimens. Sera were collected 2 weeks after each immunization, and HBV specific antibody was detected by ELISA. Seroconversion is indicated in the table.
NS: Normal saline.
RVJ: recombinant vaccinia virus.
