Mouse Response

• Host Strain: C57BL/6J
• Vaccination Protocol: Mice (8 to 10 per group) were immunized s.c. at the base of the tail with 50 µg of E7GST protein, or 50 µg OVA as control, and 10 µg of Quil-A or 50 µg of Algammulin as adjuvant (Fernando et al., 1998).
• Challenge Protocol: Mice were challenged with 3 x 10^6 cells of EL4.E7 tumor or 2 x 10^6 cells of C3 cells 14 days after the last immunization (Fernando et al., 1998).
• Efficacy: Immunization with E7 and Algammulin (an alum-based adjuvant) induced a Th2-like response and provided no tumor protection (Fernando et al., 1998).
