Fig. 3.
Immune responses and affinity maturation in WT and Neil1−/− mice. Mice (8 WT and 8 Neil1−/−) were immunized with NP-CGG and analyzed for the production of NP-specific IgG z1 antibodies as described in Section 2. Open and solid circles represent WT and Neil1−/− mice, respectively. (A) Titers of total (high- and low-affinity) NP-specific antibodies. (B) Titers of high-affinity NP-specific antibodies. The reduced production of total and high-affinity antibodies in Neil1−/− mice relative to WT mice is statistically significant (p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA).
