Fig 1. Termite proteins cross-react with anti-cockroach allergen antibodies.
Cf termite extract (1 μg) or German cockroach extract (GCr, 1 μg) was added to the wells of a microtiter plate for ELISA and probed with rabbit anti-cockroach allergen antibodies (1:500) followed by IRdye 800 labeled anti-rabbit antibody (1:10000). Black bars represent GCr extract and white bars represent Cf termite extract signals. Samples were tested 4 times and mean values are shown with standard deviation included as error bars. Relative IRdye800 signal is shown on the y-axis and anti-cockroach allergen antibody designation is shown on the x-axis.
