Fig. 1From: Enhanced IgA coating of bacteria in women with Lactobacillus crispatus-dominated vaginal microbiotaBacteria with bound immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin bound to bacteria, and unbound immunoglobulins over time. Bacteria with bound immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin bound to bacteria and unbound immunoglobulins were measured during menstrual bleeding; time point 1 (T = 1), 7‑11 days after onset of menstrual bleeding; time point 2 (T = 2); and 17‑25 days after onset of menstrual bleeding; time point 3 (T = 3). A The percentage of bacteria with bound IgA or IgG over time. B Coating index of IgA and IgG bound to bacteria over time. C The concentration of unbound IgA and IgG over time. The red line represents the median for (A) and the mean for (B) and (C). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
