Level of IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b antibodies present, determined by ELISA, in mouse sera of BALB/c immunized with (a) OMPs of N. meningitidis and stx1 (b) OMPs of N. meningitidis and stx2 and (c) CT, at 42 days, 7 days post the i.m prime-boost. NS: normal mouse sera as control. Each scale bar represents the mean ± SE of nine to ten mice per group per group in an experiment representative of two separate. (a) OMPs and stx1-IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b containing formulations versus normal sera ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 ). (b) OMPs and stx2 IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b containing formulations versus normal sera ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 1 ). (c) OMPs and CT IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b containing formulations versus normal sera ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ).
