Fig. 1. Standard curve of known amounts of 6xHis-NencHHwt ELISA. The
x axis represents the amount of peptide added per well (100 µl).
Absorbance was read in a multiwell reader at 405 nm. Values of OD are means
± S.D. (N=4); correlation coefficients of the
fitted curves are >0.99 for all the data (R=0.9937,
S.D.=0.44, P<0.001).

injection of two different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide and in the
saline control and bled only control groups. Values of increment (see
Materials and methods) are expressed as means ± S.D.
