Antibodies Recognizing Yersinia enterocolitica Lipopolysaccharides of Various Chemotypes in Synovial Fluids From Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Figure 3

Reactivity of synovial fluid antibodies with LPSs: YeO3-c (wild-type chemotype) (a), YeO3-c-R1 (Ra chemotype) (b), YeO3-c-Rfb-R7 (Rc chemotype) (c), YeO3-c-M205 (Re chemotype) (d), and YeO3-c-OCR-ECA (Rc chemotype without ECA) (e) in groups I-V. Comparison of the levels of ECA-dependent (YeO3-c-Rfb-R7, ECA+) and ECA-independent (YeO3-c-OCR-ECA, ECA-) antibodies between groups (f). Red bars represent median values. One-way ANOVA or Mann–Whitney test was used for statistical analysis. Horizontal black lines show the statistically significant differences between the analyzed groups (, see details within the text), while one-way ANOVA results are given when significant.
