- FIG. 1.
Antibody titers do not alter between days 1 and 21. LPS antibody levels of dogs on days 1 and 21 (day 1, n = 424; day 21, n = 156) in the kennel are shown. Any samples with levels above the cutoff point of 1,452 antibody units were deemed to be positive. For clarity, the y axis has been limited to 10,000 U.
- FIG. 2.
Antibody titers do not differ between healthy (H; day 1, n = 286; day 21, n = 18), diseased (D; n = 119), and convalescent (C; n = 19) dogs. LPS antibody levels in dogs on days 1 and 21, separated according to the disease statuses of the animals on day 21, are shown. Any samples with levels above the cutoff point of 1,452 antibody units were deemed to be positive. For clarity, the y axis has been limited to 10,000 U.
- FIG. 3.
Percentage of dogs with either low (89 of 101 dogs) or high (49 of 55 dogs) antibody levels on day 1 which developed disease by day 21. High antibody titers offer no protection from disease.
- FIG. 4.
B. bronchiseptica isolation and disease. The percentages of dogs with lung cultures positive for B. bronchiseptica (Bb) are shown (no symptoms, n = 54; mild disease, n = 26; moderate disease, n = 47; severe disease, n = 25). B. bronchiseptica is isolated with higher frequency from animals with symptoms of moderate disease.
