Survival curves for <i>R. equi</i> samples in 0.9% NaCl irradiated with eBeam doses ranging from 0 to 7 kGy.

<p>Survival curve for Concentration 1 (1×10⁸ CFU/ml) is indicated by the symbol ○; Survival curve for Concentration 2 (1×10⁹ CFU/ml) is indicated by the symbol ×; *0 represents true 0 and not 10⁰ = 1.</p

Mean ratios of total and <i>R. equi</i>-specific IgA in naso-pharyngeal samples.

<p>Relative quantities on day 32 relative to day 2 (log₁₀-transformed) of IgA from 34 foals in 4 treatment groups as described in Fig. 2. Bars with differing letters indicate significant (P<0.05) differences among groups. A) Mean ratio (95% confidence interval) concentration total IgA; B) Mean ratio OD <i>R. equi</i>-specific IgA; C) Proportion of foals with increase in total IgA from day 32 relative to day 2; D) Proportion of foals with increase in <i>R. equi</i>-specific IgA from day 32 relative to day 2.</p
