Antibody response

Research Question

  • To establish the role of antibodies in protection

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Identify protective / neutralising antibodies
  • Stimulate an efficient protective antibody response
  • Investigate mucosal antibodies

Solution Routes

  • Monitor the antibody response to infection with different strains
  • Passive transfer and challenge experiments

State Of the Art

  • Passive transfer of antibodies from immune pigs conferred partial protection to lethal challenge
