Mouse Response

• Vaccination Protocol: For the intramuscular route, mice were vaccinated with 100 µg of endotoxin-free pDNA in 200 µl of PBS/animal in the anterior quadriceps muscle, in the individual groups (DNA vaccine or vector control), 3 times at 3-wk intervals. Control mice were immunized with PBS only (Kaur et al., 2010).
• Challenge Protocol: For challenge studies, immunized mice were inoculated intracerebrally with 20 LD50 of the CVS strain of rabies virus 21 d after the last immunization. The challenged mice were observed for 18 d for symptoms indicative of rabies virus infection (Kaur et al., 2010).
• Efficacy: DNA vaccine imparted partial protection (60%) against challenge with 20 LD(50) of the challenge virus standard (CVS) strain of rabies virus (Kaur et al., 2010).
