Abstract
Considerable evidence is available to suggest that secretory immunoglobulins play an important role in protection against certain viral diseases (1). The extent of the secretory immune response elicited at an external mucosal surface and its relative contribution in the mechanisms of antiviral immunity seems to be intimately related to pathogenesis and course of the viral infection (2). The development and biologic function of various secretory immunoglobulins, particularly secretory γA has been studied extensively after naturally acquired infections or after immunization with live attenuated or inactivated viral vaccines. Antibody activity against viral antigens has been demonstrated in several organs and external mucosal tissues (1–6). The development of specific secretory immunity in different tissues after infection with some of these viruses is discussed below.
