Determination of abomasal mucosal antibody responses. Abomasal swab samples were collected at post-mortem from goats in unchallenged adjuvant group (Group A), challenged vaccinated group (Group B) and challenged adjuvant group (Group C), unchallenged control group (Group D), challenged immunized group (Group E) and challenged control group (Group F), and subjected to mucosal IgA, IgE and IgG determinations via ELISA assays. A Determination of mucosal IgA levels in Trial 1. B Determination of mucosal IgA levels in Trial 2. C Determination of mucosal IgE levels in Trial 1. D Determination of mucosal IgE levels in Trial 2. E Determination of mucosal IgG levels in Trial 1. F Determination of mucosal IgG levels in Trial 2. Mucosal antibody levels for each group (n = 5) were represented as minimum to maximum (all points) and non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis multiple comparisons were performed for statistical analysis (P < 0.05).
