Figure Lengend Snippet: Five- to 7-week-old Syrian hamsters were inoculated either IN (green circles) or SC (blue triangles) with 10 6 TCID 50 of NiV∆F and euthanized 1, 3, 7, 14, or 28 days postvaccination (dpv; n = 10 per group). ( A ) NiV∆F vRNA tissue levels at each time point were determined by RT-qPCR. ( B ) IgG antibody titers against NiV N and G proteins were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at all time points after vaccination. ( C ) For IN-vaccinated hamsters, IgA titers against NiV F, N, and G were determined by ELISA at 28 days postvaccination. ( D ) Neutralizing antibody titers against NiV strain Malaysia were evaluated 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days postvaccination. ( E ) Antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD) assay showing complement fixing activity of antibodies and ( F ) antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) assay depicting phagocytic activity of antibodies were performed on plasma collected 7, 14, and 28 days postvaccination. In all panels, individual values are shown, with bars representing mean and SD. Significance calculated by multiple t test: * P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001; **** P ≤ 0.0001. ND, not detected; BLD, below limit of detection; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.
Article Snippet: For vaccination with NiV∆F, hamsters (male and female; 5- to 7-week-old HsdHan:AURA Syrian hamsters; Envigo, 8903F or 8903M) were inoculated IN with 10 6 TCID 50 (100 μl divided bilaterally between the nares using a P200 pipette (Rainin Pipet-Lite XLS LTS).
