RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN PIG IMMUNOLOGY
M. Bailey, S. Wilson, K. Haverson and C. Stokes

Abstract
The basic mechanisms and intricacies of the immune systems of vertebrate animals form the introduction to this comprehensive paper. Studies by the authors and others into the acquisition and true role of active and passive immunities in the pig are described in detail, with particular reference to the overlapping status of both dam and progeny in the building up of overall disease resistance. The problem of allergic diseases in humans, relating to immune dysregulation is also described, as are the diseases in growing pigs, also linked to such dysregulation.
