Mouse serum was diluted 1:50 and 1:100 with 1X PBS for the detection of IgG and IgM against peptide, respectively, by ELISA using standard protocol on Maxisorp 96 well-plates coated with peptide (LifeTein) at 20 μg/ml in Na2CO3-NaHCO3 buffer, pH 9.6. Two percent goat serum in 1X PBS was used for blocking and dilution of biotin-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Thermo Scientific) or IgM (SouthernBiotech) antibodies in 1:5000 and 1:10000 weight to volume dilutions, respectively. Detection was with avidin-HRP (eBiosciences) and ABTS substrate (SouthernBiotech) analyzed at 405 nm.
