Oral Application of T4 Phage Induces Weak Antibody Production in the Gut and in the Blood

Oral Application of T4 Phage Induces Weak Antibody Production in the Gut and in the Blood

A specific humoral response to bacteriophages may follow phage application for medical purposes, and it may further determine the success or failure of the approach itself. We present a long-term study of antibody induction in mice by T4 phage applied per os: 100 days of phage treatment followed by...
