Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Persistence: A capB mutant is attenuated in mice (Jia et al., 2010).
  • Efficacy: A capB mutant induces significant protection in mice from challenge with wild type F. tularensis (Jia et al., 2010).
  • Host IgG response
    • Description: Following i.n. immunization, LVS ΔcapB induced significantly higher levels of serum IgG, IgG2a, and IgM antibodies in mice than LVS by 7 days post immunization (Jia et al., 2010).

  • Host Ighv1-9 response
    • Description: Following i.n. immunization, LVS ΔcapB induced significantly higher levels of serum IgG, IgG2a, and IgM antibodies in mice than LVS by 7 days post immunization (Jia et al., 2010).
