Figure 2. Accumulation of diversity in tprK V regions determined by FLA analysis.
RSDI (reciprocal of Simpson's diversity index) values show that, in immunocompetent rabbits infected with the Chicago C1 strain, sequence diversity tends to accumulate more rapidly in V6, V4, V5, and V7 than in treated rabbits (Panels D-G). No difference in diversity was seen for V1, V2, and V3 (Panels A-C) between the two groups of rabbits.
