Humoral responses in the SC versus IN prime with SC or IN boost study. (a) CD-1 mice were untreated (n = 4) or received an SC prime, SC boost (n = 8); IN prime, IN boost (n = 7); or SC prime, IN boost (n = 8). (b) Sera anti-S antibodies by subclass (dilution 1:30) are shown as well as (c) percent inhibition in the surrogate neutralization assay where inhibition of 30% (dashed line) or greater is correlated with neutralization of live virus. (d) Sera anti-N IgG by subclass (dilution 1:270). (e) Lung homogenate anti-S IgG by subclass (dilution 1:30), (f) inhibition in the surrogate assay, and (g) anti-N IgG by subclass (dilution 1:30). (h) Lung homogenate anti-S and anti-N IgA. (i) The IgG2a + IgG2b + IgG3/IgG1 ratio for sera and lung anti-S and anti-N antibodies where values greater than 1 (dashed line) indicate Th1 bias. The ratio is not represented for mice with very low antibody production. Statistical analyses performed using One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc analysis comparing each group to every other group where *p < 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001; and ****p ≤ 0.0001. Data graphed as the mean with SEM.
