Table 1 B. pseudohinzii ELISA. The CF mouse population was differentiated into exposed and unexposed groups based the presence of antibodies towards the B. pseudohinzii antigen. Non-CF and CF mice were also verified via ELISA to be infection-naïve before intentional infection with B. pseudohinzii. Results were considered positive at a > 0.100 absorbance threshold.
