The level of anti-TF and anti-αGal IgG antibodies in serum and total purified IgG. (a) The TF-specific antibody level (OD) in cancer patients and controls. Each dot represents one individual. The values in serum and purified tIgG for each individual are connected with lines. (b) Anti-αGal IgG antibody levels. values were calculated by the Mann–Whitney test and are shown for significant differences.
