The entry of environmental antigens into the lumen of the bursa of Fabricius was prevented by ligating the bursal duct prior to hatching (BDL: bursal duct ligation). The development of 'natural' serum agglutinins for bacteria and heteroerythrocytes was markedly suppressed by BDL. The antigen-specific recovery was observed by simultaneous administration of sterile antigens into the bursal lumen at the time of BDL. These results strongly suggest that the bursa of Fabricius is a major channel through which environmental antigens stimulate the immune system and induce the formation of 'natural' serum agglutinins.
在孵化前结扎法氏囊导管可阻止环境抗原进入法氏囊腔(BDL:法氏囊导管结扎)。法氏囊导管结扎显著抑制了针对细菌和异种红细胞的“天然”血清凝集素的发育。在法氏囊导管结扎时,通过向法氏囊腔内同时注入无菌抗原观察到了抗原特异性恢复。这些结果有力地表明,法氏囊是环境抗原刺激免疫系统并诱导“天然”血清凝集素形成的主要通道。
