Fig. 5From: Characterization of novel Omp31 antigenic epitopes of Brucella melitensis by monoclonal antibodiesIdentification of B. melitensis strain by mAbs in ICS. The intact bacteria of B. melitensis strain were stained in ICS by individual mAbs specific to Omp31. (a) Positive staining; (b) Negative, indeterminate or control staining. GB, Gram staining for bacterial control of B. melitensis strain viewed in white light under a microbiological microscope. NCÂ =Â negative control for the ICS with a mAb to HCV NS3Back to article page
