Mycobacterium avium Subsp. paratuberculosis Induces Specific IgE Production in Japanese People with Allergies

Figure 2

Inhibition ELISA results showing the specificity of MAP antigens in serum pools of subjects. Two serum pools of subject MAP IgE+/IgG− were preincubated overnight in plates coated with MAP lipophilic antigen with saturating concentrations of BCG antigen and MAP antigen and no antigen (a regularly performed ELISA at 1/100 serum dilution). The results are representative of two separate experiments.
