Detection of anti-Tsgal antibodies in mice orally immunized with recombinant L. plantarum NC8 by ELISA. All serum samples were tested in duplicate. The data are presented as the mean OD values ± standard deviation (SD) of anti-Tsgal IgG level from 10 vaccinated mice. a Serum anti-Tsgal IgG of vaccinated mice at diverse time intervals after immunization was assessed by ELISA. b, c Specific IgG1 (b) and IgG2a (c) subclass responses were also ascertained at various times after vaccination. d Specific IgA level in vaccinated mice. The vaccination times are shown with arrows (↑) and the time of T. spiralis challenge time is indicated by triangles (△). Asterisk (*) indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared to the PBS group; hashtag (#) indicates significance at P < 0.05 compared to the empty NC8 control group (one-way analysis of variance with LSD test)
