From: The immunoglobulin M-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus suis, Ide Ssuis , is involved in complement evasion

Figure 7

The mutants 10Δ ide Ssuis (Δ) and 10Δ ide Ssuis _homologue (Δ_h) are attenuated in survival in porcine blood ex vivo. The blood was drawn from 7 different growing piglets with an age of 5–7 weeks 6–14 days after prime vaccination with a S. suis bacterin. The mutant 10Δide Ssuis _C-terminus (Δ_C) not deficient in IgM proteolysis was also included. The bars and error bars represent mean values and standard deviations, respectively. Significant differences are indicated (** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001).
