Fig. 1From: Complete protection for mice conferred by a DNA vaccine based on the Japanese encephalitis virus P3 strain used to prepare the inactivated vaccine in ChinaMouse experimental workflow. Groups of mice were immunized by intramuscular electroporation with 50 μg of either the pV-JP3ME DNA vaccine or pV in each limb individually and were boosted twice at three-week intervals. Splenocytes were obtained 1 week after the final immunization, and sera were collected 3 weeks after the final immunization. Subsequently, the vaccinated mice were challenged with 1 × 105 PFU of the JEV P3 strain. The body weight changes and the survival rates were observed for 12 consecutive days after the challengeBack to article page
