The Immune Enhancement of Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate in Chickens

Table 2

The antibody response in SLS-treated and vaccinated chickens.

Group (dose)	HI titer on different days after primary immunization (log2)
	10 d	17 d	24 d	31 d	38 d
SLS (4 mg/kg)	$5.31\pm 0.25$	$6.02\pm 0.45$	$6.87\pm 0.27$	$7.68\pm 0.33$ *	$7.06\pm 0.41$	$6.53\pm 0.28$
SLS (2 mg/kg)	$5.72\pm 0.19$	$6.83\pm 0.33$ *	$7.46\pm 0.49$ *	$8.79\pm 0.11$ *	$8.87\pm 0.52$ *	$8.15\pm 0.19$ *
SLS (1 mg/kg)	$5.11\pm 0.32$	$6.21\pm 0.42$	$6.75\pm 0.32$	$8.02\pm 0.29$ *	$7.46\pm 0.54$	$6.92\pm 0.16$
Normal saline	$4.71\pm 0.37$	$5.12\pm 0.39$	$5.51\pm 0.37$	$6.03\pm 0.24$	$6.14\pm 0.21$	$5.83\pm 0.31$

The data are expressed as mean $\pm$ SD (day 10, $n=36$; day 17, $n=30$; day 24, $n=24$; day 31, $n=18$; day 38, $n=12$; day 45, $n=6$) in relation to the HI titers of chickens. ${}_{}{}^{*}P\mathrm{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}<\mathrm{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}.05$ was accepted as significant differences compared to the normal saline control group.
