Fig. 6From: Quantitative immunoassay for mink immunoglobulin in serum and milka Scatter plot and regression curve of mean kit IgG versus mean maternal IgG concentrations. Mean kit concentrations were derived from the serum IgG concentrations of four to six kits from a specific litter analyzed over a 3 week period (2 kits each week) and corresponding mean maternal/female concentrations were obtained from three samples taken over the same 3 week period. Positive correlation (R2 = 0.63, P < 0.0001) of mean kit serum IgG concentration and mean maternal/female serum IgG concentration is shown on the scatter plot. b Scatter plot diagram showing maternal/female serum IgG concentrations (blue dots) and mink kit IgG serum concentration (clear dots) as a function of age. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM, with a non-linear curve fit (grey curve for kits and blue curve for maternal/females), and the serum IgG concentrations are show on a log scale. All serums samples were diluted in sodium acetate buffer and assayed in duplicatesBack to article page
