The adhesive properties of K88 antigen and its contribution to the enteropathogenic character of K88-positive Escherichia coli are briefly discussed. Factors that may be involved in the protection of piglets from dams vaccinated with bacteria-free K88 antigen have been examined, and on the basis of in vitro tests, it is concluded that a significant protective effect is due to an antiadhesive factor in the colostrum of vaccinated sows.
