An in vivo study concerning anti-Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) immunity was perfomed.
Active immunization was induced in rats against Stx2 using BLS-Stx2B as immunogen.
Circulating anti Stx2B antibodies prevented early pregnancy loss mediated by Stx2.
Pups breastfed by immunized dams were protected from a lethal dose of Shiga toxin.
