Host Response Host Response

Hamster Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Efficacy: The vaccine was shown to confer the delay in the death time and reduced morbidity in the vaccinated animals when compared to animals immunized with the plasmid alone or PBS. Hamsters of group 2 (mock) and group 3 (positive leptospirosis) were all dead between days 5 and 6 post-challenge. For the vaccinated group, two hamsters were dead on day 9, one each died on days 11 and 18, respectively. Two hamsters survived the lethal Leptospira challenge until day 21 when they were sacrificed (Maneewatch et al., 2007).

Hamster Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0003057
  • Immune Response: The vaccine induced an IgG antibody response and, additionally, conferred sterilizing immunity in 80% of the surviving animals (Forster et al., 2013).
  • Efficacy: Immunization with a DNA vaccine encoding LigBrep resulted in the survival of 5/8 (62.5%) hamsters against lethal infection (P < 0.05). None of the control hamsters or animals immunized with the other vaccine preparations survived (Forster et al., 2013).
