Table 4. The neutralizing antibody responses after EV71vac booster one-year later.
EV71vac vaccinated Group | Nt titers (GMT)# | |||
Pre-booster (56 weeks) | Booster$ | After 1st booster (56+3 weeks) | After 2nd booster (56+6 weeks) | |
High dose (10 µg) | 451±122 | EV71vac (5 µg/dose) | 1090±137* | 1413±67* |
Low dose (5 µg) | 106±81 | EV71vac (5 µg/dose) | 661±101 | 827±121 |
PBS | <8 | PBS | <8 | <8 |
The neutralization titer (Nt) was assayed with EV71/E59 (B4 subgenotype) and the GMT ± SE was shown.
Three groups were boosted two times at week 56 and 59 with 5 µg of EV71vac vaccine for both high dose (n = 4) and low dose (n = 4) group or with PBS formulated with alum (n = 2).
*There is a significant difference compared to low dose group (p<0.05 by Two-way ANOVA test).
