*
Experiment; ELISA/Cell, ELISA/Pure, IB/Poly and IB/Mono are from Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively.
**
Antigen of 33277 in ELISA/Pure is 33277 FimA fimbriae, not native 33277.
***
W83 rarely produces FimA protein and fimbriae.
IB, immunoblot; Cell, whole-cell sonicates; Pure, purified FimA fimbriae; Poly, partially dissociated FimA fimbriae; Mono, FimA monomer.
+++ reacted strongly; ++ reacted moderately; + reacted weakly; − did not react.
