Serum PrV-specific IgG and mucosal IgA determined at 3 days post-challenge with the virulent PrV YS strain. Two weeks after the final immunization, groups of mice (n = 7) were challenged i.n. with the PrV YS strain (10 LD50) and the sera and vaginal lavages were collected at 3 days post-challenge. PrV-specific IgG and IgA were determined by conventional ELISA. The circles on the graph represent the individual IgG levels and the height of the bar shows the average of each group. P-values in graphs were calculated using the Student's t-test.
