“…Moreover, the role of antibodies in the reduction of Campylobacter is not clear. Indeed, elevated antibody levels (IgY or IgA) do not necessarily result in effective protection among broilers, as already observed previously after a challenge by Campylobacter only [47] or in the case of a Campylobacter challenge with the use of different proteins as a vaccine [31,34,35,48,49]. On the contrary, humoral immunity, more specifically the intestinal mucosal immune response, appears to be involved in the reduction of Campylobacter in chickens [12,21,50].…”
