Levels of Staphylococcus aureus recovered from intra-aortic patches in actively immunized mice (A), and immune responses (expressed as mean absorbance450 ± SEM) in serum specimens from individual mice in each immunization group (B). Mice were immunized with bovine serum albumin (BSA; circles), the A domain of clumping factor A (rAClfA; squares), rAClfA and the A domain of fibronectin-binding protein A (rAFnBPA; triangles), or rAClfA, rAFnBPA, and the A domain of fibronectin-binding protein B (rAFnBPB; diamonds). Horizontal black bars, mean values. CFU, colony-forming units; ND, not determined. *P < .01, compared with the control (BSA); §P < .01, compared with rAClfA; ¥P < .01, compared with antibody response in mice immunized with rAClfA alone.
