Word recognition memory and serum levels of Borna disease virus specific circulating immune complexes in obsessive–compulsive disorder

Table 3 Infection follow-up of the obsessive–compulsive disorder group based on circulating immune complexes (BoDV-1 CIC)

CICs = BoDV-1-specific circulating immune complexes in blood plasma, specific for BoDV-1 antigens p40/p24. The values of CICs are given as extinction at 405 nm × 1000, measured by enzyme immune assays (EIAs) at the starting dilution of 1:20 for each sample (see Methods). *The initial sampling was at week 0 and represented the basic virological results for H- and L-group patients in this study (see Table 2)
The cut off value of each test is ≥ 100. Results < 100 are regarded negative. H-group = patients with high CICs; L-group = patients with low CICs. ^aLevel: “Discontinuous” means changing activity levels of infection within 16 weeks (last sampling). “Continuous” means stable activity levels of infection at least for 4 weeks, up to 16 weeks (last sampling)
