  1. IM, Intramuscular; SC, Subcutaneous; IN, Intranasal; IP, intraperitoneal.
  2. aStudy was done in pigs and mice.
  3. bCMI response was tested by stimulation of splenocytes.
  4. cBALF bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
  5. dtested by Western blotting for reactivity with whole cell lysates.
  6. eThe membrane preparations were formulated with one of the following adjuvants: 1) Auspharm oil, 2) Alhydrogel, 3) Algammulin, 4) DEAE dextran with Auspharm oil, 5) DEAE dextran with mineral oil. Lung lesions were significantly reduced with all formulations compared to non-vaccinated pigs, but there were no significant differences between the formulations.
  7. fLTB B subunit of heat-labile enterotoxin of E. coli.
