Comparison of 125I-C3 binding to Campylobacter jejuni strains
| Measure | Serotype of | C. jejuni strain |
|---|---|---|
| O:19 | non-O:19 | |
| (n = 8) | (n = 8) | |
| Counts per minutea | 85 +/-51 | 98 +/- 48 |
| Mean binding ratiob | 0.187 +/- 0.116 | 0.245 +/- 0.130 |
aBacterial cells were incubated with pool 2 normal human serum or heat inactivated normal human serum and 125I-C3 (mean 40,416 [range 20,234-63,503]. cpm) at 37oC for 15 minutes. The cells were centrifuged and washed; net (NHS minus HINHS) 125I binding was measured as counts per minute. p-value = 0.20 (paired T-test, 1-tailed).
bThe mean binding ratio is an average of the ratio of the net counts for each study strain relative to the net counts of the serum-susceptible control (23B). p-value = 0.31 (paired T-test, 1-tailed).
