M. leprae proteins that are not reactive in WBA or antibody ELISA. WBA-IFNγ secretion and serum IgG responses were assessed against the proteins ML0051, ML0098, ML2028, ML0176, ML1633, ML0393, ML0489, ML2655, ML0491, ML0540, ML0810, ML1383, ML1481, ML2629, ML2659, ML0811 and ML1181. WBA results are presented as box and whisker plots, with the boxes encompassing the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the black line within each box indicating the median value, n = 20 per group. Antibody results are shown in scatter plots of individual values for each individual serum tested, n = 45 per group. The dotted line indicates the calculated cut-off for positive responses (OD >0.3).
