Mean values of serum antibody titers from adults and children (n = 88) in panel A, from only children (n=41) in panel B and from adults (n=47) in panel C, against each rotavirus VP8* genotype. The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistical analyses (one way ANOVA) were performed and show that in the three populations the antibodies against P[6], P[9], P[14] and P[25] are significantly lower than against P[4] and P[8] (P < 0.05a). The lower antibody titers were found to the P[11] genotype compared to any of the other genotypes (P < 0.0001b).
