TABLE 2.
Immunogenicity of PR8 viruses carrying split segments
Immunization (dose [MLD50])a | Mean HAI titer |
---|---|
PBS | ≤16 |
Ms virus (0.01) | 64 |
Ms virus (0.1) | 256 |
Ms/NSs virus (0.01)b | 32 |
Ms/NSs virus (0.1)b | 128 |
LAIV (0.01) | 64 |
LAIV (0.1) | 512 |
Data were calculated for immunized or mock-immunized (n = 6) mice.
Since the MLD50 of the Ms/NSs virus was higher than 105 FFU (Table 1), the mice were vaccinated with 104 FFU (0.01 MLD50) and 105 FFU (0.1 MLD50).
