Figure 9

IgA antibody levels in serum (A), tracheal fluid (B), bile (C), and Harderian glands (D) of specific pathogen-free chickens immunized with PBS IM, blank LDH@SiO2-NPs IM, naked plasmid pVAX1-F(o) DNA IM, pFDNA-LDH@SiO2-NPs IM, and pFDNA-LDH@SiO2-NPs IN.

Notes: IgA antibody levels are presented as mean ± standard deviation of five experiments. Data with different small letters show significant difference (P<0.05).

Abbreviations: IM, intramuscularly; IN, intranasally; LDH, layered double hydroxide; NPs, nanoparticles; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; pFDNA-LDH@SiO2-NPs, Newcastle disease virus F gene encapsulated in the LDH@SiO2-NPs.
