SV40 antibodies titres and sHLA-G levels in serum samples from from MS multiple sclerosis patients , OIND other inflammatory neurologic diseases , NIND non-inflammatory neurologic diseases and HS Healthy subjects. a SV40 antibodies titres are are presented as values of OD optical density readings at λ 405 nm of serum samples diluted at 1:20, detected in indirect ELISA. In scatter dot plotting, each plot represents the dispersion of OD values to a mean level indicated by the line inside the scatter with Standard Error Mean (SEM) for each group of subjects analyzed. b sHLA-G levels are presented as ng/ml in serum samples diluted at 1:2, detected in indirect ELISA. In scatter dot plotting, each plot represents the dispersion of sHLA-G values to a mean level indicated by the line inside the scatter with Standard Error Mean (SEM) for each group of subjects analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using Anova and Newman-Keuls comparison test. (**p < 0.0001; *p < 0.001)
