Abstract
The propagation of influenza A (PR 8 strain) and Newcastle disease virus in the bovine mammary gland led to the presence in milk and blood serum of neutralizing antibody. The removal of the gland had a profound effect upon the antibody content of the blood. It is suggested that the major portion of antibody was produced locally in the gland. Whether this results from continuous anti-genic stimulation or is a function developed from a fleeting contact with the virus remains unanswered.Keywords
