HLXL inhibited the antibody response to Bhsp65 of LEW rats with AA. Blood samples were collected from experimental (HLXL-fed) and control (water-fed) groups of rats ( per group) at the indicated time points, and then the sera were tested at a dilution of 1 : 100 each by ELISA for total Ig (a) and IgG2a (b). The results were expressed as optical density (O.D.) at 450 nm (mean ± SEM). (*).
