a

Determined by Ouchterlony precipitation (PPT). Proteins were tested at 1 mg/ml. 

b

Proteins were tested by 12 threefold serial dilutions starting at 3 μg/ml. Values are the concentrations at 50% binding in micrograms per milliliter determined at the midpoint of the linear part of the titration curve on PS-coated plates. 

c

Not detectable at highest concentration tested (1 mg/ml). 

d

Not detectable at highest concentration tested (3 μg/ml). 

e

Determined by ascites fluid diluted 1:100. 

f

Negative with the purified protein, but undiluted ascites was positive on all three Ags and negative on K1. 

g

The fine specificity and precipitation values with MCPS and OAc (for 15 of 16) and the concentrations at 50% binding (for 7 of 16) MCPS MAbs were previously published (51) and are reproduced with the permission of The Journal of Immunology. 

h

These hybridomas were from mice boosted with fixed bacteria. All other CP MAbs came from mice boosted with purified MCPS.
