Recognition of the L. infantum PUF proteins by sera from experimentally infected hamsters. Sera (n = 10) were individually tested for reactivity to rLiPUF1-10, rHSP70 and SLA. C-labeled lines represent the cut-off value, calculated as the mean plus 3 SD of the values for pre-infection sera. Relative absorbance = absorbance value of test serum ÷ mean of the absorbance of sera from animals before infection (pre-inmune sera).
