Figure Lengend Snippet: Formulation, immunization schedule, and antigen-specific IgG antibody responses of the three-component M. pneumoniae vaccine. ( A ) Formulation scheme showing the 6 experimental groups, their respective vaccine and adjuvant combinations. ( B ) Immunization schedule showing time points for immunizations (days 0, 14, 28) and serum collection (days 13, 27, 41). ( C – F ) Serum titers (log10) of specific IgG antibodies against P1, P40/90, CARDS-WT, and CARDS-Mut following single antigen immunizations (days 0, 14, 28) and serum collection (days 13, 27, 41). The saline group served as the negative control. ( G – J ) Serum antibody titers (days 41) against P1, P40/90, CARDS-WT, and CARDS-Mut in mice immunized according to the groups shown in ( A ). ( K ) Comparison of antibody titers (days 41) between the MPtriVa-D group (containing CARDS-WT with dual adjuvant) and the MPtriVb-D group (containing CARDS-Mut with dual adjuvant). ( L ) Comparison of antibody titers (days 41) between the MPtriVb-S (single adjuvant) and MPtriVb-D (dual adjuvant) groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD. p > 0.05 (not significant); *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: The coding sequences for P1 (GenBank I D: X06871 ), P40 (GenBank ID: AF125204 ), P90 (GenBank ID: AF125205 ), and CARDS-WT (GenBank ID: AY189944 ) were retrieved from the NCBI database based on the Mycoplasma pneumoniae standard strain ATCC M129.
