title: Intestinal immunity following a single intraperitoneal immunisation in lambs.
abstract: A single intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin in oil adjuvant in young lambs has been shown to result in the appearance in the intestinal lamina propria of antibody-containing cells, most of which contained antibody of IgA specificity. Intraperitoneal immunisation of lambs with a Salmonella typhimurium vaccine during the suckling period provided protection against postweaning challenge with live organisms. This response was shown to be associated with specific IgA antibody in intestinal secretion.
