a

Mice received an i.v. challenge, and bacterial loads in the liver were determined. 

b

Mice received an aerosol TB infection, and bacterial loads in the lungs were determined. 

c

Mice were vaccinated once with BCG or three times at 2-week intervals with the subunit vaccines. 

d

Geometric means ± standard error of the means. Data are means based on duplicate analysis of five animals in each group. 

e

Protective efficacies of vaccines, expressed as log10 reductions in bacterial loads compared to those in the adjuvant controls. 

f

P values are given for bacterial loads significantly different from those in control mice. 

g

ND, not done.
