Anti-recombinant PA (rPA) ELISA titers. Displayed are IgG-antibody-values for individual animals as well as predicted means and standard deviations for group A (rBclA + rPA83), B (rBclA + rPA83 + FIS) and NegCTL (unvaccinated negative control) on all sampling points measured via indirect ELISA against rPA83. Values below the detection limit (<100) were given an arbitrary value of 10. Individual values are given as symbols specific for each group (group A - triangle, group B - square and group NegCTL - circle). Mean values are given in the form of bar charts in the background and standard deviations as positive values above the bars. Mean values were analyzed for statistical differences with P ≤ 0.05 as indicated by lower case letters for comparing time points above the respective bars. As there was no significant difference (P > 0.20) between group A and B for any sampling point concerning the anti-rPA83 IgG antibody titers, letters were displayed across both groups. Mean values with identical letters were not significant different from each other. Means from group NegCTL were always under the detection limit and therefore not included in the letter display. FIS: Formalin inactivated spores; rBcLA: Recombinant Bacillus collagen-like antigen; rPA: Recombinant protective antigen
