NTHi strains differ in their interaction with antibody and complement. Significant differences were observed for (a) OPA uptake and (b) OPA oxidative burst as well as for (c) C3b/iC3b and (d) C5b-9 deposition with NTHi strains 3655 (circles), 3224A (squares) and MPJ003 (triangles) in the presence of human donor serum from subjects with stable mild and moderate COPD. Significance values were determined by two tailed Mann-Whitney test (**** p = < 0.0001, all other significances are indicated)
