Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Efficacy: The mice inoculated intramuscularly with pVAX/SjFABP showed significant worm reduction rate of 22.94% (P < 0.05) and egg reduction rate of 30.23% when compared with the pVAX1 control group. The addition of the pVAX/mIL-18 plasmids dramatically enhanced protection with worm reduction rate of 36.92% and egg reduction rate of 43.23% (P < 0.05), compared to the pVAX/SjFABP group (Wei et al., 2009).
