Mouse immunogenicity study. Balb/C mice were immunized intranasally or intramuscular on day 0 and day 21 with 15 µg OMV (control group) or 15 µg OMV combined with 15 µg Spike with the presence of mCRAMP or without mCRAMP (OMV+Spike). Sera were collected from all animals at day 35. (A) Experimental setup and timeline of the mouse immunogenicity experiment. (B) Total IgG antibody levels were measured in sera diluted at 1:50,000. (C) IgA levels were measured in nasal washes (1:1 dilution), lung (1:50 dilution), and serum (1:200 dilution). (D) Virus neutralization titers were determined in sera. Data are depicted as mean ± SD and are representative results of two independent experiments. Significance (E) is depicted as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. Statistical significance of the difference was evaluated by a 2-way ANOVA test followed by the non-parametric Mann whitney test.
