Percent nucleotide identity of genes encoding the V regions of FtGroEL mAbs to the most homologous germline genes.

**No D gene was identified by the IGBLAST program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/igblast/) using the minimum requirement of five contiguous nucleotides. Shared IGHV, IGHD or IGKV genes are shown in the same color.a, Antigen extracts of LVS adjuvanted with TiterMax®Gold and CpG ODN 1826 i.p., s.c., i.d. twice, followed by same antigen adjuvanted with CpG ODN 1826 i.p. and i.n., followed by 2×103 and 2×104 LVS i.n.b, Antigen extracts of the OAg-deficient LVS mutant WbtI adjuvanted with TiterMax®Gold and CpG ODN 1826 i.p., followed by 2×105 or 2×107 LVS i.d., then the same antigen extracts of WbtI i.p.c, 1.6×105–2.3×107 LVS i.d., followed by antigen extracts of LVS i.p.d, 1.6×105 or 2.3×106 LVS i.d., followed by antigen extracts of WbtI i.p.e, 3×105 LVS i.d., 2×105 LVS i.d., 2×106 LVS i.p.f, 2×104 LVS i.n., followed by FtLPS mAb Ab3 i.p., then 4×105 LVS i.n.
