Fig 2. Specificity of recombinant proteins.

Fig 2

Results from ELISA are presented as mean optical densities ± standard deviation of IgG antibody reaction with P. orientalis salivary gland homogenate (SGH) and three recombinant proteins (rPorSP24, rPorSP67, and rPorSP76) in mice experimentally bitten by Ph. orientalis, Ph. papatasi, or Se. schwetzi, and non-exposed control mice. Four mice per sand fly colony and four non-exposed controls were used. Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences (p<0.05, calculated with non-parametric Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test) of IgG levels between mice bitten by Ph. orientalis and mice bitten by other sand fly species or non-bitten controls.
