Antibody responses were assessed after immunizing mice (n = 6 per group) with chloroplasts isolated from each of the CirA, FepA, or IroN transplastomic plants, or a combination of chloroplasts isolated from CirA, FepA, and IroN transplastomic plants. Chloroplasts isolated from wild-type plants (WT) were used as a control. The graph displays the mean and standard deviation from independent experiments (6 mice per group). Mouse sera samples collected during the final bleed were diluted to 8000-fold and tested for antibodies against S. Enteritidis. The y-axis shows absorbance readings at 415 nm. p-values are presented on the figure.
