a

To assess humoral immunity (HI), sera were collected from the tail vein prior to immunization from three mice per group.

b

To assess cell-mediated immunity (CMI), through the lymphocyte proliferation assay (n = 3 mice), cytokine measurements (n = 3 mice), and flow cytometric analysis (n = 3 mice), spleens were aseptically removed from nine mice per group two weeks after the last immunization.

c

Two weeks after the final inoculation, the mice in all groups were challenged intraperitoneally with 1 × 103 tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain.

d

Two weeks after the final inoculation, the mice in all groups were challenged intragastrically with 20 cysts of T. gondii PRU strain.
