Figure 5.
Zika virus neutralizing antibody titers after vaccination of IFNAR1-/- mice with the sr-prM-E mRNA vaccine. Mice were intradermally electroporated on day 0 and 14 with 1 μg of sr-prM-E-mRNA ZIKV vaccine or sr-LUC-mRNA and two weeks after the boost, ZIKV-specific neutralizing antibody titers were determined by a neutralization test (NT). The neutralizing antibody titers are expressed as the reciprocal of the endpoint serum dilution that neutralized the challenge virus by (a) 50% (NT50) or (b) 90% (NT90). The lower limit of NT quantification was 20 and is represented by the dashed line (n = 5 sr-prM-E-mRNA group and n = 4 sr-LUC-mRNA group).
