Mouse Response

• Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
• Immune Response: For instance, NP + M2 may induce both CD4 and CD8 T-cell responses against both antigens and a humoral immune response against the extracellular domain of M2 which collectively contribute to antiviral immunity (Jimenez et al., 2007)
• Efficacy: 100% protection from challenge with A/HK/8/68 (H3N2) was provided in mice by Vaxfectin-formulated NP+M2 (Jimenez et al., 2007).
