Enhanced immunoprotection against viral myocarditis induced by ABD-VP1 vaccine. Mice were challenged with 3LD50 CVB3 2 weeks post the final immunization, and myocarditis severity was evaluated 7 days later by (A) body weight loss, (B) cardiac function and (C) histomorphological changes of heart tissues. (D) Statistical analysis of (C). (E) Meanwhile, viral loads in the hearts were also detected. (F) A 28-day survival rate was observed after 5LD50 CVB3 infection. *P < 0.05 for VP1 versus ABD-VP1. Each group contained 8 mice. For histomorphological observation, each group contained 6 mice. For survival rate evaluation, each group contained 15 mice. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
