Mouse Response
- Host Strain: C57BL/6
- Vaccination Protocol: Mice were immunized subcutaneously with 1, 5, or 50 μg rPmp1 with monophosphoryl lipid A-stable emulsion (MPL-SE) adjuvant on day 0 and day 14. Control mice received adjuvant only (Orsborn et al., 2006).
- Challenge Protocol: Four weeks after boosting (day 42), the mice were infected intraperitoneally with 310 arthroconidia and sacrificed 2 weeks later (Orsborn et al., 2006).
- Efficacy: Vaccination with PMP1 elicited significant protection in mice and a reduction in colonization of organs by Coccidioides (Orsborn et al., 2006).
