a Scatter plot and regression curve of mean kit IgG versus mean maternal IgG concentrations. Mean kit concentrations were derived from the serum IgG concentrations of four to six kits from a specific litter analyzed over a 3 week period (2 kits each week) and corresponding mean maternal/female concentrations were obtained from three samples taken over the same 3 week period. Positive correlation (R2 = 0.63, P < 0.0001) of mean kit serum IgG concentration and mean maternal/female serum IgG concentration is shown on the scatter plot. b Scatter plot diagram showing maternal/female serum IgG concentrations (blue dots) and mink kit IgG serum concentration (clear dots) as a function of age. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM, with a non-linear curve fit (grey curve for kits and blue curve for maternal/females), and the serum IgG concentrations are show on a log scale. All serums samples were diluted in sodium acetate buffer and assayed in duplicates
