Table 5. Serum and nasal HA-specific antibody responses after two doses of the nasal vaccine.
| Isotype | Week | Serum | Nasal wash | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GMT (Mean geometric increase) | IgG | 0 | 83.7 (1.00) | 80.0 (1.00) |
| 6 | 247.7 (2.96) | 109.8 (1.37) | ||
| IgA | 0 | 14.6 (1.00) | 122.0 (1.00) | |
| 6 | 36.0 (2.47) | 473.5 (3.88) |
a Serum HA-specific antibody titers of < 1:10 were considered negative and arbitrarily assigned a titer of 1:5. b Nasal HA-specific antibody responses were determined using concentrated nasal wash samples containing 1 mg/ml total protein. Nasal HA-specific IgG and IgA titers of < 1:160 were considered negative and arbitrarily assigned a titer of 1:80.
