title: Specific immunoglobulin response in mice immunized with porins and challenged with Salmonella typhi.
abstract: Specific antiporin antibody (IgG, IgM, and IgA) response was studied in control, infected, immunized-infected, and immunized mice. The activity of specific IgG immunoglobulins was found to be the highest in immunized and immunized-infected groups in which 87.5% protection had been observed by laboratory potency test in mice; the next-highest activities were those of IgM and IgA immunoglobulins. However, in the infected group the activity of specific IgM and IgG immunoglobulins was almost similar.
