title: Colostral transfer of antibodies specific for Hypoderma lineatum proteins.
abstract: Antibodies to Hypoderma lineatum were transferred to calves via colostrum. The antibodies transferred in the colostrum demonstrated specificity to all the H. lineatum first-instar proteins which were resolved by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were capable of mediating a Type I hypersensitivity reaction. The kinetic decline of colostrum-acquired antibodies, the effect upon development of an autologous humoral response to H. lineatum and the host or parasite protective role of these antibodies are discussed.
