Survival rate of the immunized mice. All four groups of the immunized mice (PBS, pRSET B, rGRA2, rGRA5) were subjected to lethal challenge with 1000 live tachyzoites of T. gondii virulent RH strain 2 weeks after the last immunization. Mice immunized with rGRA2 and rGRA5 exhibited a significant increase in the survival days (median survival of 16.5 and 16 days respectively) in comparison to the control mice injected with PBS and pRSET B (median survival of 6 and 8 days respectively). Each group consisted of 10 mice.
