  • Adjuvant:
    • Adjuvant name:
    • VO adjuvant ID: VO_0000143
    • Description: 5 μg of cholera toxin (Ferrero et al., 1995).

Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Host Strain: Swiss
  • Vaccination Protocol: Mice were orogastrically immunized with 50 μg of recombinant HspA protein and 5 μg of cholera toxin prepared in 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate before delivery (Ferrero et al., 1995).
  • Challenge Protocol: Mice were challenged with 10^4 H. felis bacteria (Ferrero et al., 1995).
  • Efficacy: Orogastric immunization of mice with recombinant H. pylori HspA proteins protected 80% of animals from a challenge dose of 10^4 Helicobacter felis bacteria (Ferrero et al., 1995).
