In order to find out whether the mouse adenovirus-neutralizing substance, which appeared in the intestinal tract of mice orally infected with mouse adenovirus, was an immunoglobulin, examinations were carried out for the status of 3 classes of immunoglobulin, IgA, IgG, and IgM, in the intestinal tract as well as in the serum of the mouse. In infected mice, as in uninfected mice, the serum contained much IgG, a moderate amount of IgA, and a small amount of IgM, whereas the intestinal wall showed a moderate amount of IgA, a small amount of IgG and no IgM, and the intestinal contents contained a moderate amount of IgA. Secondly, DEAE-cellulose chromatography or Sephadex G-200 gel filtration was done in order to know whether the virus-neutralizing activity was recoverable in the fractions containing some class of immunoglobulin. The result indicated that a large part of the activity in the serum was recovered in the fractions of IgG and a small part in those of IgA. In the case of the intestinal wall, a large part of the activity was found in the fractions of IgA, and only a small part in the fractions containing both IgG and IgA. In the intestinal contents, the activity was detected solely in the fractions containing IgA. Finally, when the substance from the intestinal wall was purified by DEAE and Sephadex, a parallel increase of both IgA and the virus-neutralizing activity per protein content was observed. Thus, it became clear that the mouse adenovirus-neutralizing substance in the intestinal tract was an antibody against the virus, and that it mostly belongs to IgA.
