Table 1. The anti-EV71 IgG response after EV71vac immunization.
Group | IgG titer (GMT)# | |||||||
Pre-immune (0 week) | After 1st vaccination$ (3 weeks) | After 2nd vaccination (6 weeks) | After 3rd vaccination (9 weeks) | 12 weeks | 26 weeks | 39 weeks | 56 weeks | |
High dose | <200 | 1903±5800 | 9051±22853 | 12800±22074* | 15222±9600 | 800±2696 | 1131±1238 | 476±640 |
Low dose | <200 | 1600±2693 | 4525±4800 | 7611±10245 | 7611±4800 | 476±1450 | 400±690 | 238±150 |

The IgG titer was assayed with plates coated with EV71/E59 (B4 subgenotype) and the geometric mean titer (GMT) ± standard error (SE) was shown.
Three groups were immunized three times with 10 µg (high dose; n = 4) or 5 µg (low dose; n = 4) of EV71vac vaccine or PBS (n = 2) formulated with alum.
*There is a significant difference between high and low dose group (p<0.05, tested by Two-way ANOVA).
