Serum samples collected at week 11 were pooled for each indicated group and analyzed by ELISA for IgG1 and IgG2a antibody concentration. Mean concentration ( g/mL) of the IgG subtype and the standard error of the mean (SEM) from several independent measurements are presented. Group 3: mice received 25  g per dosage of plant-derived DIII; Group 5: mice received 25  g per dosage of E. coli-derived DIII.
