Comparison of serum immunoglobulin G half-life in dairy calves fed colostrum, colostrum replacer or administered with intravenous bovine plasma. [PDF]
In calves, passive immunity of immunoglobulins can be acquired through ingestion of colostrum or colostrum replacers. Plasma can been used to supplement immunoglobulins in healthy or sick calves.

Immediate protection of an animal can be achieved by passive immunization—the administration of preformed antibodies to a susceptible animal. These antibodies have historically been produced in hyperimmunized horses. The most widely employed are antitoxins directed against clostridia, such as tetanus or botulism, and snake venoms. Polyclonal antibodies

Protection and mechanism of action of a novel human respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidate based on the extracellular domain of small hydrophobic protein [PDF]
Infections with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) occur globally in all age groups and can have devastating consequences in young infants. We demonstrate that a vaccine based on the extracellular domain (SHe) of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein ...
