Core Tip

Core tip: Exercise-induced plasma antibody elevation is now recognized as a key recall response to vaccine antigens. In exercised mice, antigen-specific antibody producing cells harvested more and their elongated half-life of the produced antibodies, resulted in their evoked secondary IgG responses. Here, we review the effects of exercise on antibody response.
