Percent inhibition of conjugate vaccine immune-serum binding by anti-MCPS MAbs to OAc⁺ and OAc⁻ MCPSs^a

MCPS Ag surface	Vaccine	% Inhibition with MAb
MCPS Ag surface	Vaccine	2055.5	2016.3	C2/1076.10	C2/256.8
OAc⁺	Vac1	25^b	28^c	84^b	31
	Vac2	16^c	20	88^b	68^b
	Vac3	17^c	21	84^b	25
OAc⁻	Vac1	8	31^c	62^b	102^c
	Vac2	7	32^c	68^b	118^b
	Vac3	7	37^b	75^b	69^b

Inhibition of conjugate vaccine immune sera binding to OAc⁺ and OAc⁻ surfaces by anti-MCPS MAbs was calculated by the following equation: percent inhibition = (RU with MAb − RU with MAb control surface)/(RU − RU control surface). Duplicate experiments with 1/20 serum dilution were evaluated. Significance was assessed for RU with MAb versus RU without MAb using the Tukey-Kramer HSD and Student t tests.

Inhibition significant at a P value of < 0.05 by Tukey-Kramer HSD test for multiple comparisons in each Ab group.

Inhibition significant at a P value of <0.05 by paired Student t test.
