Abstract
The immune response in the rat urinary tract was assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulins following vaginal immunization and subsequent intravesical challenge with live E. coli 06. Vaginally immunized rats showed a strong and rapid bladder immune response following intravesical challenge, in contrast to nonimmunized control rats. The immune response was localized to the urinary tract in that antibody to E. coli 06 was not detected in serum, saliva and vaginal washes from immunized rats.Entities:
