Abstract
Immunoglobulin quantitation of fluids obtained from several regions of the female reproductive tract indicated the presence of IgG, IgA and IgM. IgG was almost invariably present in greatest amounts and IgM always made the smallest contribution. Although much of this immunoglobulin was derived from serum, evidence of the molecular size of IgA, the IgA and IgG ratios and that obtained from experiments involving the injection into sows of 125I-labelled immunoglobulin indicated that local synthesis within the tract also occurred.Mesh:
