Calves were inoculated i.m. with formalin-killed M. bovis with adjuvant and after 14 days intratracheally with killed organisms without adjuvant. Seven days later they were challenged intratracheally and 21 days after challenge they had significantly fewer M. bovis in their lungs than control calves. Two i.m. or 2 intratracheal inoculations of killed M. bovis did not induce resistance but immunity could be stimulated by 3 s.c. inoculations of inactivated mycoplasmas with adjuvant. Immunity was correlated with antibody [Ab] detectable in lung washings by the single radial hemolysis technique. Combined i.m. and intratracheal administration of killed M. bovis induced a better Ab response in lung washings than 2 i.m. or 2 intratracheal inoculations. Ab was detected in lung washings from calves inoculated 3 times s.c. but it was apparently derived from serum. The Ab detected in lung washings by single radial hemolysis was Ig[immunoglobulin]G by radioimmunoassay.
