To determine antibody titers in murine serum, HiBond ELISA plates were coated with whole GAS-M1 bacteria, or recombinant M1 protein or isolated M1 HVR [generated as described in (38 (link))] and incubated with serially diluted serum. Captured antibodies were detected using biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG (Southern Biotech, CAT 1036-08), IgG1 (BioLegend, RMG1-1), IgG2b (BioLegend, RMG2b-1), and IgG2c (Southern Biotech, CAT 1079-08) and streptavidin-HPR (BioLegend, CAT 405210). BSA-coated wells served as negative controls and presented values represent the average of duplicate experimental values with deducted negative control values. All samples were run in duplicate.
