The serum antibody titers in the prime-boost birds were significantly higher than those of the multivalent DNA vaccine group (p < 0.01) but not significantly different compared to the inactivated vaccine group at 49 days of age. Additionally, the prime-boost group also showed the highest level of IBV-specific cellular proliferation compared to the monovalent groups (p < 0.01) but no significant difference was found compared to the multivalent DNA vaccine group, and the prime-boost group completely protected from followed viral challenge. These results indicate that immunization with a combination of the three-gene DNA vaccine and an inactivated vaccine not only elicited the strongest antibody response, but also induced the highest IBV-specific cellular proliferation rates in the chickens. ./cache/cord-000924-wwuqxx1r.txt ./txt/cord-000924-wwuqxx1r.txt
