The intestinal and mammary immune system in pigs.
Evidence exists from studies in other species for a link between the intestinal and mammary immune systems. This was examined in pigs by various methods including analysis of lymphocyte subsets in intestinal and mammary tissues and lymphocyte migration studies. It was concluded that in the pig both a common mucosal immune response and a genuine local immune response exist in the mammary gland.
