Figure 2. Intensity of the recognition of consensus sequences.

Consensus sequences determined for each VB were tested by ELISA for their recognition by purified IgGs of infected (I.) or non-infected (NI.) pregnant women. For VB1 (A), VB2 (B), VB4 (C), and VB5 (D), the top, bottom, and middle lines of the boxes correspond to the 75^th percentile, 25^th percentile, and 50^th percentile (median), respectively. The whiskers extend from the 10^th percentile and top 90^th percentile. The level of response to DBL6ε–CYK48 [19] of infected and non-infected women was added on the right part of each graph to compare the VB response intensity.
