- Vaccine Ontology ID: VO_0004453
- Type: DNA vaccine
- Status: Research
- Host Species as Laboratory Animal Model: Mouse
- MIC3
gene engineering:

Mouse Response
- Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
- Efficacy: Mice immunized with pMIC3i displayed significant protection against an oral challenge with 76K T. gondii strain cysts, exhibiting fewer brain cysts than the control mice immunized with the empty plasmid pcDNA3. The co-administration of pGM-CSF enhanced this protection (Ismael et al., 2009).
