  • Title: Associations of BF2 alleles with antibody titres and production traits in commercial pure line broiler chickens.
    Author: Ewald SJ, Ye X, Avendano S, McLeod S, Lamont SJ, Dekkers JC.
    Journal: Anim Genet; 2007 Apr; 38(2):174-6. PubMed ID: 17326801.
    Abstract:
    Three commercial broiler pure lines were evaluated for associations of sire BF2 (major histocompatibility complex class I) alleles with progeny phenotypic traits. Significant BF2 associations with a subset of traits were observed in two lines. The BF2*21 allele was positively associated with antibody titre to infectious bursal disease virus in both lines. Other associations were line-specific.
