Induction of NT antibodies against SARS-CoV in rabbits pre-immunized with LC16m8. (A) Three rabbits (R13–15) were immunized with 107 PFU of LC16m8 on day 0, and then immunized with 107 PFU of RVV-S at 6 and 12 weeks. (B) Three rabbits (R4–6) were immunized with 108 PFU of LC16m8 at 0 and 6 weeks, and then immunized with 108 PFU of RVV-S at 12 and 18 weeks. Immunized rabbit sera were analyzed by in vitro NT assay against SARS-CoV (closed symbols) or vaccinia virus (open symbols). Each type of symbol indicates one and the same individual, and the schedule of immunization with RVV-S or LC16m8 is indicated by arrowheads. (C) Comparison of NT antibodies against SARS-CoV induced by RVV-S in VV-immunized or naïve rabbits. RVV-S (107 or 108 PFU) was injected into rabbits at 0 and 6 weeks in the presence (107 PFU, R13–15; 108 PFU, R4–6) or absence (107 PFU, R10–12; 108 PFU, R1–3) of pre-immunization with an equal titer of LC16m8. Immunized rabbit sera were analyzed by in vitro NT assay against SARS-CoV. **p < 0.01.
