Antibody and complement detection of CnpB-immunized mice after M. tuberculosis intranasal infection. After M. tuberculosis H37Ra intranasal challenge for 8 weeks, antibodies and complements were detected. (A) Sera of CnpB immunized (CnpB) mice and unimmunized (UN) mice were collected for antibodies detection using ELISA (n=3). The collection time points was 8 weeks after infection. (B) The ratio of IgG2a/IgG1 in panel A was calculated (n=3). (C, D) The levels of complement C3/C5 in sera (n = 3) (C) and complement C3 in lung/spleen homogenate (n = 4) (D) were assayed by ELISA. (E) The levels of sIgA in BALF were assayed by ELISA. The results are shown as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001.
