Scatter-dot plots of OD detected in <i>M</i>. <i>leprae</i> proteins by ELISA.

Differences between analyte levels were evaluated by the Mann Whitney U test for non-parametric data analysis. Representative plots show the analyte OD in the LID-1, NDO-LID, and ND-O-BSA ELISA for participants with leprosy (MB, PB and post-MDT) and without leprosy disease controls(HHC, TB and EC). (A)* = pvs PB, post-MDT, HHC, TB and EC; EC vs PB, HHC and TB);(B) * = pvs PB, post-MDT, HHC, TB and EC; PB vs HHC, TB and EC; post-MDT vs HHC, TB and EC; TB vs HHC and EC); (C)* = pvs PB, post-MDT, HHC, TB and EC; PB vs TB and EC; TB vs post-MDT, HHC and EC). Bars in the scatter-dot plots represent the median plus interquartile range of analyte concentrations. M. leprae Ag: LID-1, ML89, ML2044, ML2028; IFN-γ: Interferon gamma.
