name:
Serum and mucosal antibodies of infected foals recognized two distinct epitopes of VapA of Rhodococcus equi.
description:
Tracheal aspirates from foals with R. equi pneumonia disease were also tested for IgA antibodies against the epitope and found to be highly reactive, suggesting that the epitope is immunodominantly recognized by mucosal IgA.
