(Received 2 May 1978) SUMMARY

The secondary antibody response to 5-0 pg flagellin was studied by haemagglutination in 132 healthy or convalescent subjects given a primary challenge with 5-0 pg flagellin from 1 to 44 months previously. The peak titre, expressed as total antibody, occurred at 2 weeks and was mainly immunoglobulin (Ig)G. The magnitude of the titre of total antibody was influenced predominantly by that of total antibody in the primary response (P
