a

% Survival (Number Survived / Total Challenged), Equal numbers of males and females were vaccinated on Day 0. The initial group size was 16 and 24 in Guinea Pig Study 1 and 2 respectively and 8 and 10 NHP Study 1 and 2 respectively. In several groups animals died prior to the challenge due to a non-study related illness or injury, and were not included any further analyses.

Time to death = Days (Standard Deviation)

c

Study 1 control animals received adjuvant (250 μg CpG 7909 + 0.650 to 0.730 mg Alhydrogel in 0.5 mL) control. Study 2 control animals received 0.5mL saline administered IM.

d

p < 0.05 compared to the adjuvant group determined by two-sided Fisher’s exact test with Bonferroni-Holm adjustment for multiple comparisons.
