Sheep Response
- Vaccination Protocol: Sheep were immunized intramuscularly (i.m.) in the left rear leg, with a second immunization in the right rear leg 4 weeks later. A 100 μg antigen dose was delivered in 1.0 ml. Serum was prepared from bleeds taken prior to the first immunization, 3 or 4 weeks later (i.e. prior to the second dose), and a final bleed 2 weeks after the second immunization (Pye et al., 1997).
- Immune Response: Sheep immunized with MSA-2 and SAF-1 had higher antibody response than sheep immunized with MSA-2 and alhydrogel (Pye et al., 1997).
