  • Title: The immune response of the pig following oral immunisation with soluble protein.
    Author: Newby TJ, Stokes CR, Huntley J, Evans P, Bourne FJ.
    Journal: Vet Immunol Immunopathol; 1979 Nov; 1(1):37-47. PubMed ID: 15612268.
    Abstract:
    The immune response of pigs fed 200 mg per day of dinitrophenylated bovine gamma globulin has been evaluated in terms of the antibody and lymphocyte responses and of the induction of tolerance and immune exclusion. Although dosing for ten days resulted in a small IgA response as indicated by splenic plaque forming cells, serum antibody could only be detected when dosing was continued for 42 days. secretory antibody was detected at any time. Antigen feeding for two weeks rendered the animals hyporesponsive to subsequent parenteral antigenic challenge but had little effect upon their ability to exclude an oral dose of antigen from the circulation.
