Fig 5. Rabbit anti-FliC_Bp predicted peptide antibodies enhance phagocytosis (A), oxidative burst (B) and bacterial killing (C) against B. pseudomallei in purified human PMNs (N = 5).

Rabbit anti-FliC_Bp, pre-bleed anti-sera at dilution 1:50 or anti-predicted peptide antibodies at 40 g/ml were used for opsonization. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, ns, not significant compared between with or without antibody groups using one-tailed paired t test.
