Antibody production method comprising inserting antigen releasing device into mammal so antibodies are released into its milk

摘要

Disclosed is a method for inducing the sustained release of antibodies in the milk of a nonhuman mammal comprising the step of: a) administering a primer composition; b) implanting at least one antigen releasing device adjacent to, within close proximity of or within at least one supramammary Iymph node; and c) administering a booster composition comprising antigen to a mammal after the antigen releasing device has been implanted, wherein in use the antigen releasing device releases an antigen into the tissue area around the supramammary Iymph node which stimulates antibody secretion into a mammary gland.
