Popis: Although the immunological basis of protection from shigellosis is poorly understood, it is likely that secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) on mucosal surfaces and mucosal lymphocytes in the intestine play important roles in this process. Therefore, a summary of the possible protective roles of lymphocytes and immunoglobulin will provide a context for the subsequent discussion of Shigella vaccine development.
