Abstract
Swine exposed to transmissible gastroenteritis viral antigens developed humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Migration of leukocytes from exposed swine was inhibited in the presence of the sensitizing antigens, whereas migration of leukocytes from nonexposed swine was not inhibited in the presence of these same antigens. In virus-neutralization-positive animals, it was not possible to correlate degree of inhibition with virus-neutralization titer. Inhibition was observed 7 days after exposure and persisted for at least 35 days.
