  1. aFifty 4-week-old mice were randomly grouped into 5 groups (ten/group) for intramuscular (IM) vaccination
  2. bThe titers of Ad-0910G, Ad-0910Gsped and Ad-0910 N were 108.0 TCID50/mL, 108.0 TCID50/ mL and 107.7 TCID50/mL, respectively
  3. cImmunized mice of each group were divided into two subgroup and intramuscularly (IM) and intracranially (IC) challenged with CVS-N2c at 21 days following inoculation of recombinant adenoviruses
  4. dThirty 4-week-old mice were divided into 4 groups (five/group) and control group (ten/group) for oral vaccination
  5. eThe titers of V-RG (Raboral V-RG®, Merial), Ad-0910G and Ad-0910 N were 107.8 TCID50/mL, 108.0 TCID50/mL and 107.7 TCID50/mL, respectively
  6. fMice in the groups 6 and 7 were vaccinated with 0.1 ml of V-RG vaccine or mixed virus (Ad-0910G + Ad-0910 N) via the oral route only once. Mice in the groups 8 and 9 were vaccinated orally once again a week after initial vaccination
  7. gAll mice were challenged with CVS-N2c by the IC route 14 days post-vaccination
