a Immunoreactivity of the IVTT-expressed denatured E. ca. hypothetical proteins compared with TRP19 by ELISA. The IVTT proteins reacted with convalescent sera from 10 CME dogs. b Immunoreactivity of overlapping synthetic peptides spanning 3 E. ca. immunoreactive proteins, as determined by ELISA with a CME dog serum. Positive control, TRP19. ELISA OD values represent the mean optical density reading from three wells (±standard deviations) after background subtraction. A sample OD of ≥0.1 was considered positive and ≥0.5 a strong positive after subtracting negative control (a: IVTT reaction with empty plasmid template and b: a negative peptide) reading.
