Cell-mediated and humoral immune responses in pigs following primary and challenge-exposure to Lawsonia intracellularis

To investigate immune responses upon re-infection with Lawsonia intracellularis, local and peripheral humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to primary and challenge inoculations were studied in 22 pigs. Pigs were orally inoculated with virulent L. intracellularis at the age of 5-6 weeks, treate...
