Figures & data

Figure 1. Mean total immunoglobulin (Ig) and IgG titers produced in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) adults in response to primary foreign red blood cell challenges (bovine, rabbit, chicken, rat, and sheep) with standard errors of the mean (SE). Differing uppercase letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in total immunoglobulin production; differing lowercase letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in immunoglobulin G (IgG) production.

Figure 2. Mean total immunoglobulin (Ig) and IgG titers produced in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) adults in response to secondary foreign red blood cell challenges (bovine, rabbit, chicken, rat, and sheep) 3 weeks post primary challenge with standard errors of the mean (SE). Differing uppercase letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in total immunoglobulin production; differing lowercase letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in immunoglobulin G (IgG) production.
