LPS-neutralizing activity of AvBD-6 and AvBD-12. LPS-neutralizing activities of AvBD-6 and AvBD-12 were determined by the Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay. a Neutralizing activities AvBD-6 (■) and AvBD-12 (▲) for E. coli O111:B4 LPS and S. Typhimurium L6143 LPS. b The effect of NaCl concentration on the ability of AvBDs to neutralize E. coli O111:B4 LPS (■) and S. Typhimurium L6143 LPS (▲). The data are presented as means ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks denote statistically significant difference in LPS-neutralizing activities between AvBD-6 and AvBD-12 (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)
