For all strains tested, statistical analysis of data revealed a clear trend of increasing survival probability upon vaccination and vaccination followed by boosting ( P <0.0001).
For all strains tested, statistical analysis of data revealed a clear trend of increasing survival probability upon vaccination and vaccination followed by boosting ( P <0.0001).
All values were considered significant at P <0.05, and highly significant at P <0.001.
A Cochran-Armitage trend analyses [27] was used to confirm that a significant trend in survival probabilities existed among vaccinated and unboosted, and vaccinated and boosted groups relative to naïve mice in vaccination/challenge studies ( Table 2 ).
