  1. a) Adjuvant factor taken as the ratio between the IgG1 level in the test group and the OVA control group.
  2. b) ND: Not defined, as the median IgG1 value in the OVA control group was zero.
  3. c) Data are calculated from reference 5. Cf. 'Material and Method' for details.
  4. d) Data are calculated from reference 11. Cf. 'Material and Method' for details.
