FIG. 3.
Induction of anti-ScaC antibodies in scrub typhus patients. (A) Purified ScaC33-232 protein was separated by SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie blue (lane 1) and immunoblotted with pooled sera from 10 control patients with a non-scrub typhus, acute febrile illness (lane 2) or from 10 scrub typhus patients (lane 3). (B) Anti-ScaC antibody responses in 10 scrub typhus (ST) patients (black circles) and in 10 control patients (white circles) were measured by ELISA and are presented as anti-ScaC IgG titers. *, P = 0.007.
