Titers of antibodies against mPEG and against HO-PEG were
determined
by direct ELISAs of sera from groups of three rabbits immunized with
either mPEG1-IFN-α (A) or HO-PEG1-IFN-α
(B). (A) Percentages of maximal binding to mPEG-SOD (filled symbols,
solid curves) and to HO-PEG-SOD (open symbols, dashed curves) and
the ratio of titers on mPEG/HO-PEG (“relative titers”)
are indicated for three rabbits immunized with mPEG1-IFN-α.
Data for each of rabbits R8990, R9002, and R9003 are shown in green,
black, and orange, respectively. (B) Percentages of maximal binding
to mPEG-SOD (filled symbols, solid curves) and to HO-PEG-SOD (open
symbols, dashed curves) and the ratio of titers on mPEG/HO-PEG are
indicated for three rabbits immunized with HO-PEG1-IFN-α.
Data for each of rabbits R8991, R8995, and R8997 are shown in blue,
red, and gray, respectively.
