Fig. 5. Influence of heat alteration of TT.

Fig. 5

Anti-TT IgG enzymatic activity of buffy coat donors in response to heat alternated adsorbed TT (0.0025 Lf/ml): a, b TT kept at 4 weeks at 37 °C (17 donors; n = 5 independent experiments) and c, d TT kept one week at 45 °C (10 donors; n = 2 independent experiments). a, c comparison of response to not-altered vs altered adsorbed TT. b, d correlation of the enzymatic activity of anti-TT IgG in response to not-altered vs altered adsorbed TT of individual donors (each represented as a single dot). Bar graphs represent mean (± standard deviation) of the enzymatic activity means of all donors. The dotted line shows anti-TT IgG enzymatic activity of 200, the threshold of reactivity. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test and Spearman correlation. P values are depicted in the respective graphs, ns non-significant.
