Note that each of the four groups in Table 1 is composed of a unique set of subjects.

A ratio of 1.0 indicates no change from the Day 0 percentage of memory B cells.

§

The duration of post-challenge follow-up through Day 180 was slightly shorter than the post-vaccination duration through Day 180 since challenge occurred on Day 10 and vaccination occurred on Day 0 (170 days vs. 180 days).
