Those peptides displaying signals with an OD >0,5 are shown (the total number of peptides is shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0066507#pone.0066507.s001" target="_blank">Figure S1</a>).Values represent the absorption over cut-off (mean of four negative sera plus two standard deviations) and are derived from at least two independent experiments (performed in duplicate). Error bars represent the standard deviation. The background (binding of the serum to GST) was subtracted.</p> 2013-06-12 02:06:51 immunology Immunologic techniques immunoassays Immune response microbiology Virology Emerging viral diseases Viral disease diagnosis Clinical immunology immunity Humoral immunity Infectious diseases Viral diseases West Nile fever binding recombinant peptides sera
