Table 1. The anti-EV71 IgG response after EV71vac immunization.

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).
