Figure 1 Frequency of core epitopes in wild-type isolates of H. influenzae determined by binding of monoclonal antibodies in whole bacteria EIA. The strains were grouped according to the pattern of reactivity defined in Table 2.

Figure 2 Frequency of phase-variable epitopes in wild-type isolates of H. influenzae determined by binding of MAHI 3, 6, 8, 10 and 4 in colony dot immunoblotting. The results were scored as described in the text. (a) Number of reactive strains, including both those scored as ‘positive' and those scored as ‘phase variation’. (b) Number of strains scored as ‘phase variation’.
