10mg/ml b-galactosidase protein (Roche) or 3.3 mg/ml
ovalbumin (Sigma-Aldrich)
were emulsified 1:1 with CFA. Each mouse received 4×50 ul emulsate. Three weeks
later, mice were bled and serum was analyzed by Western blot using a
multiscreen apparatus(Biorad). Density was compared between bands from samples and a known concentration of
monoclonal b-gal antibody (Clone DC1 4C7, Thermo Scientific) using ImageJ64 software.
