    We determined the quality of serum hapten-specific immunoglobulins (Ig) and localized Ig-secreting cells (SC) of various isotypes in acute, persistent/resting memory and effector memory phases following oral versus intra-muscular (IM) immunizations. In the acute phase, both oral and IM immunizations...
