Article Title: Outer membrane vesicles from flagellin-deficient Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium induce cross-reactive immunity and provide cross-protection against heterologous Salmonella challenge
doi: 10.1038/srep34776
Figure Lengend Snippet: The total amount of anti-LPS ( a ) or -OMP ( b ) IgG in the sera obtained from mice immunized intranasally with OMVs, the total amount of anti-LPS ( c ) or -OMP ( d ) IgG in the sera obtained from mice immunized intraperitoneally with OMVs, and the total amount of S-IgA that was specific for LPS ( e ) or for OMPs ( f ) were measured using quantitative ELISA. Each group consisted of 10 (control) or 12 (vaccinated) mice. The mice were immunized with OMVs that were derived from S. Typhimurium and then boosted at week 5. Samples were collected at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the first immunization. PBS-vaccinated mice served as the control group. The data shown represent the concentration of IgG or S-IgA antibodies in samples obtained from mice and are shown according to standard curves.
Article Snippet: To obtain standard curves for each antibody isotype, plates were coated in triplicate with two-fold dilutions of the appropriate purified mouse Ig isotype standard IgG, IgG 1 , IgG 2a and IgA (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), starting at 0.5 μg/μl.
