The presence of specific antibodies was measured by ELISA as described in Materials and Methods. Sera from T. crassiceps-infected and noninfected mice were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Phage particles (PIgphage and NF) were used at 2 × 109. Sera used were diluted 1:20. Anti-PIgphage, anti-TAg, and anti-NF are pooled sera from mice immunized with the corresponding antigen (five mice in each group).
