Fig 4. Net IgA-ASC and IgG-ASC responses to recombinant M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis proteins.

Fig 4

Cell suspensions were prepared from PP collected from M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-infected and uninfected compartments in mid-jejunal segments and assayed for IgA (A) and IgG (B) ASCs specific to recombinant M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis proteins. Cell suspensions were prepared from PP collected from M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-infected and uninfected compartments in terminal small intestinal segments and assayed for IgG (C) ASCs specific to recombinant M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis proteins. The net number of ASC specific to each M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis protein in infected compartments was calculated using the formula provided in Materials and Methods. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis proteins for which all calves (n = 3) had detectable net ASC responses are shown with significant (P < 0.05) increases in the frequency of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-protein specific ASCs denoted by an asterisk. Data presented are mean values with SEM.
