Anti-FIS (formalin inactivated spores) ELISA titers. Displayed are IgG antibody-values for individual animals as well as predicted means and their 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 FIS (formalin inactivated spores). Values below the detection limit (<100) were given an arbitrary value of 10 for better display. Individual values are given as symbols specific for each group (group A - triangle, group B - square and group NegCTL - circle). Means are given in the form of bar charts in the background and standard deviations as positive values above the bars. Results were analyzed for statistical differences with P ≤ 0.05 indicated by lower case letters for comparing time points and upper case letters for comparing groups above the respective bars. Mean values of different time points with identical lower case letters were not significant different from each other. Mean values of different groups with identical upper case letters were not significant different from each other. Inter-group comparisons showed significantly elevated IgG titers for group B as compared to group A against FIS for all sampling points with the exception of week 0. FIS: Formalin inactivated spores; rBcLA: Recombinant Bacillus collagen-like antigen; rPA: Recombinant protective antigen
