Memory antibody response to the PEDV was also studied by secondary in vitro stimulation of the mononuclear cells (MNC) isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen and blood. In order to evaluate the distribution of PEDV-speci®c ASC, MNC from mesenteric lymph nodes, lamina propria of duodenum and ileum, spleen and blood were recovered at various PID from PEDV exposed pigs and tested for antibody production by ELISPOT. Table 1 Numbers of isotype-specific ASC to PEDV (per 5 Â 10 5 MNC) in duodenum and ileum lamina propria, mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), spleen and blood from pigs experimentally exposed to the virulent isolate of the PEDV strain CV-777 and sacrificed on PID 4, 7, 14, 21, 25 ./cache/cord-339546-m7rqr886.txt ./txt/cord-339546-m7rqr886.txt
