  1. Upper-case letters are used to compare the two reagents (purified mallein and standard) in the same group of animals (sensitized or non-sensitized). Lower-case letters are used to compare the reactions of the same reagent (purified mallein or standard) in the two groups of animals (sensitized and non-sensitized). Means followed by different letters, upper-case in the columns and lower-case in the lines, differ significantly by the t-test (P < 0.01). SA Sensitized animals, NC Negative controls. Readings in millimeters.
