Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Host Strain: CD‐1
  • Vaccination Protocol: Active mouse maternal immunization.A maternal immunization/neonatal pup challenge model of GBS infection was used to verify the protective efficacy of BibA protein in mice. CD‐1 female mice (6–8 weeks old) were immunized intraperitoneally on days 1 (complete Freund’s adjuvant), 21, and 35 (incomplete Freund’s adjuvant) with either PBS or 20 μg of recombinant protein and were then bred 3 days after the last immunization (Santi et al., 2009).
  • Challenge Protocol: Within 48 h of birth, pups were injected intraperitoneally with a dose of GBS strain 3050 that would be lethal to 90% of the population, corresponding to 3 x 10^4 colony‐forming units (CFU). Survival of pups was monitored for 3 days after challenge (Santi et al., 2009).
  • Efficacy: Immunization of mice with recombinant BibA conferred protection to 69% of the challenged pups (Santi et al., 2009).
