Comparison of the mean slope for anti-PnPs 6B EIA to the mean slope for anti-PnPs 12 additional serotype EIA
| Ig | Anti-6B slopea | Anti-PnPs slopeb | Relative difference (%)c |
|---|---|---|---|
| G | −0.95 ± 0.07 | −0.86 ± 0.07 | 9 |
| M | −0.77 ± 0.07 | −0.74 ± 0.04 | 4 |
| A | −0.90 ± 0.05 | −0.88 ± 0.07 | 2 |
| Total | −0.99 ± 0.07 | −0.92 ± 0.07 | 7 |
a
Mean ± standard deviation.
b
Mean ± standard deviation of the average slope derived from eight determinations of each anti-PnPs serotype 2, 8, 9N, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 17F, 19A, 20, 22F, and 33F EIA (excludes anti-PnPs serotype 6A and C-Ps EIA).
c
Relative difference = 100 × [(PnPs slope − 6B slope)/6B slope].
