Rabbits were immunized three times at 3-week intervals, each time intramuscularly with 50 μg of antigen emulsified in Montanide ISA720 (days 0, 21, and 42). Titers shown are from bleeds 2 weeks after the third immunization (day 56).
ELISA titers presented measure total IgG to the indicated recombinant protein in arbitrary antibody units (see Materials and Methods).
