Passive allergisation of calves and lambs due to colostral antibodies
Abstract:
Using an aqueous extract of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) as a naturally occurring antigen it was demonstrated that newborn calves were passively sensitized by oral intake of maternal anaphylactic antibodies. In 3 day-old, colostrum deprived calves and lambs the transfer of this anaphylactic activity was studied by Prausnitz-Küstner test and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test. The technical conditions of the in vivo detection of anaphylactic antibodies are described. The relevance of passive anaphylaxis is discussed.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
