The passage of serum immunoglobulins through the gut of Sarcophaga falculata, Pand (original) (raw)

Pathogens and Global Health

Abstract

Rabbits were immunized with brain, muscle or haemolymph of adult Sarcophaga falculata, and groups of Sarcophaga were then fed on serum collected from the immune rabbits. Rabbit serum immunoglobulins on the tissues of the fed flies were demonstrated by the indirect fluorescent antibody method, using fluorescent goat-anti-rabbit IgG. The antibodies were specifically demonstrated in the tissues that had been used as immunizing antigen. It was also shown that antibodies unrelated to fly antigens pass through the fly gut and react with the specific antigens.
