Abstract
Many pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and parasites as well as toxins and allergens, gain entry into the organism by crossing the epithelia of the digestive, respiratory or genital tracts. Mucosal surfaces are protected against environmental pathogens by non immune and immune mechanisms (Mayrhofer, 1984). A distinct “mucosal” immune system plays a major role in protection, and an important component of this protection is production of secretory antibodies of the IgA isotype (slgA) (Russel and Mestecky, 1988).
