Figure 3. Superinfected individuals are not globally-defective in the ability to generate virus-specific binding antibodies.
Cytomegalovirus-specific IgG binding antibodies were measured using 3-month post-seroconversion plasma in the Trinity Biotech Captia CMV IgG ELISA. Immune status ratios ≥1.10 (dashed line) indicate the presence of CMV-specific IgG antibodies. Superinfected individuals are represented as described for Figure 2. Immune status ratio values for superinfected and non-superinfected groups were compared using a Mann-Whitney test.
