| Abstract: | Abstract. S-IgA antibodies against cholera toxin and rotavirus were assayed in 43 colostral samples by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All specimens contained specific S-IgA antibodies against both antigens. Significant antibody titres to the antigens were demonstrated in almost all colostral samples. |
