Humoral immune responses in pups born to mothers immunized during pregnancy. Anti-influenza binding antibodies were determined by ELISA in sera collected from pups at weeks 3 to 12 after birth. (A) IgG, (B) IgG1 and (C) IgG2a antibody titers [MN (2.5 ug), n = 10; IM (5 µg), n = 10; IM (2.5 µg), n = 5; ID (2.5 µg), n = 5; Naïve, n = 5]. Values are expressed as mean ±SEM. (D) Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) and (E) neutralizing antibody (NT) titers in sera collected 3, 4, 5, and 6 weeks after birth (n = 5 per group). HAI and NT values are expressed as geometric mean with ±95% confidence interval. a[MN vs IM (5 μg), IM (2.5 μg), ID (2.5 μg)]. b[IM(5 μg) vs IM (2.5 μg), ID (2.5 μg)]. *p < 0.05. Statistical significance was determined using the Bonferroni-Dunn method, with alpha = 0.05.
