Kinetics of the induction of specific anti-rSjLGL IgG and IgE antibodies in immunized mice. (a) Sera of 10 immunized mice/group were collected on d 0, 15, 30, and 45 after the first immunization and analyzed by ELISA. (b) Sera of 10 immunized mice/group were collected on d 0, 10, 15, and 40 after the first immunization and analyzed by ELISA. The results are presented as the mean absorbance at 450 nm () of one trial measured for one experiment for each group. Statistically significant differences in the antibody levels of vaccinated mice compared with those of the PBS + adjuvant control group are denoted by ().
