a

CTLP was used at 0.15 μg per ml. Assays were conducted at room temperature. 

b

Samples were pretreated by incubation for 1 h and washed by ultrafiltration. 

c

Adherence to glutaraldehyde-fixed PLE cells after a 1-h challenge, detected by anti-CTLP IgG, is expressed as a percentage of that for the PBS-treated control. 

d

Chymotrypsin-like activity of pretreated CTLP before the PLE challenge, as measured by cleavage of the chromogenic substrate. 

e

Cytotoxicity to PLE cells after a 1-h challenge, as measured by release of cytoplasmic LDH, is expressed as a percentage of that for the positive-lysis control.
