title: Specific antibody against the Aujeszky's disease virus in the complex cumulus oophorus-oocyte of sows.
abstract: Oocytes collected from sows vaccinated and revaccinated with an inactivated vaccine against Aujeszky's disease (AD) were examined for the presence of specific antibodies of the IgG class against AD virus in the complex cumulus oophorus-oocyte by means of immunocytochemical methods. No specific antibody of the IgG class was detected in the cumulus-oocyte complexes collected from sows before vaccination. On the other hand, the specific IgG antibody was found in all immunocytochemically examined complexes cumulus-oocyte collected from revaccinated sows. The specific antibody of the IgG class against AD virus and the porcine IgG were immunocytochemically visualized under both light and electron microscopes as a fine granular product disseminated in oocytes and follicular cells.
