Research Abstract |
Cell transfer experiments showed that PP, but not SP-cell transferred mice could elicit the Ag-specific intestinal IgA immunity against orally administered rSalmonella. Further, antigen priming solely occurred in PP induces Ag-specific intestinal IgA immunity. On the other hand, CCR7 signaling which is important for dendritic cell migration may not be essential for induction of Ag-specific intestinal IgA immunity.
