35 Vi-specific humoral responses were evaluated using different assay techniques on day 0 (before vaccination) and days 28, 118, and 208. Univariate analyses (comparing responses between time points within vaccine groups, across vaccine groups, and between diagnosed and protected participants) were performed for each individual antibody feature listed. Multivariate analyses included 34 of 35 of the antibody features listed; Vi IgG3 AI was not included in the multivariate analyses, as ≥25% of values were missing. Assays were performed using native Vi-PS or biotinylated Vi-PS.
