Weight changes of the rabbits at week 4 post-challenge compared to prior immunization. The colored lines indicate the group average. Key: PBS, immunized with 1 ml 0.01 M PBS each time; Quil A, immunized with 1 ml QuilA saponin at concentration of 1 mg/ml (dissolved in PBS) each time; vector protein, immunized with 100 μg (first time) and 200 μg (second time) purified pET32a(+) vector protein with 1 ml QuilA saponin at concentration of 1 mg/ml (dissolved in PBS); rSsCLP5, rSsCLP5’, and rSsCLP5” refer to the test groups immunized with 100 μg then 200 μg purified rSsCLP protein with 1 ml QuilA saponin at concentration of 1 mg/ml (dissolved in PBS) at the first and second immunizations. The weight changes of rabbits in the rSsCLP5 immunized groups (rSsCLP5 and rSsCLP5’) were significantly higher compared to PBS control, Quil A control and vector protein control at week 4 post-challenge (F(5,63) = 2.689, P = 0.029)
