1) Milk and salivary s-IgA antibodies are via the homing of IgA producing cells from the Peyer's patches closely connected with antigenic stimuli in the intestine. This explains the presence in human milk of s-IgA antibodies against E. coli O and K antigens, V. cholerae and Shigella O antigens, E. coli and V. cholerae enterotoxins. These secretory antibodies can be induced by intestinal exposure and boosted by parenteral vaccination. 2) Preliminary data suggest that the IgA response in the urinary tract and possibly in the lung may be involved in the homing mechanism as well. 3) The protective role of the milk s-IgA antibodies to enterobacterial virulence antigens is strongly suggested, as is the protection mediated by urinary antibodies against urinary tract infections.
