Major Histocompatibility (B) Complex-Associated Differences in the Delayed Wattle Reaction to Staphylococcal Antigen
TLDR
In females, response developed later than in males but no B complex effect was detected in either rate of development or maximum response, and differences were not statistically significant.About:

Genetic Analysis of Immunocompetence Measures in a White Leghorn Chicken Line
S. Cheng,Susan J. Lamont +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the total immunocompetence profile of an individual must be considered to select for optimum immune responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of genetics on disease resistance
TL;DR: Future research directions will expand knowledge of the impact of genetics on disease resistance by identifying non-MHC genetic control of resistance and by further elucidating mechanisms regulating expression of genes related to immune response.

Comparison of Phytohemagglutinin-Induced Cutaneous Hypersensitivity Reactions in the Interdigital Skin of Broiler and Layer Chicks
TL;DR: Results indicate that the interdigital skin-test is a rapid, simple means of assessing normal and suppressed T-lymphocyte-mediated immune response in broiler and layer chicks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chicken major histocompatibility complex and disease
TL;DR: The chicken major histocompatibility complex, or B complex, consists of several clusters of highly polymorphic genes, some of which are associated with disease resistance, and shows associations with response to diseases as diverse as virally induced neoplasia, bacterial, parasitic and auto-immune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-mediated and humoral immunity and phagocytic ability in chicken Lines divergently selected for serum immunoglobulin M and G levels
TL;DR: The results suggest that both pairs of selected lines exhibited divergence in immunocompetence, although they had been selected for serum Ig isotypes.

Rapid isolation of antigens from cells with a staphylococcal protein A-antibody adsorbent: parameters of the interaction of antibody-antigen complexes with protein A.
TL;DR: Bacterial adsorbent not only had a distinct advantage in speed of antigen isolation, but analyses by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in SDS also revealed consistently higher antigen recoveries, lower levels of background radioactivity, and an absence of other cell components which may nonspecifically bind to and complicate analyses using conventional immune precipitates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nephelometer:an instrument for estimating the number of bacteria in suspensions used for calculating the opsonic index and for vaccines.
TL;DR: The method recommended by Wright is ingenious though cumbersome and depends on the actual enumeration of the bacteria contained in the suspension, and is accomplished by mixing a given volume of the bacterial suspension with an equal volume of blood.

Identification of haplotypes of the chicken major histocompatibility complex (B).
W. Elwood Briles,R. W. Briles +1 more
TL;DR: A common haplotype terminology across lines was developed and later published in part to illustrate frequency profiles in inbred parent lines of chickens (Briles 1972) as a consequence of reagent preparation in a genetically diverse chicken colony at Northern Illinois University combined with the typing of chickens.

TL;DR: The MHC chromosomal region in the chicken appears to exert a crucial role in determining the outcome of RSV-induced tumors and in chickens with terminal tumors, the incidence of metastatic lesions was also significantly associated withB genotypes.
