  • Title: Production and persistence of antibodies in chickens to sheep erythrocytes. 2. Resistance to infectious diseases.
    Author: Gross WG, Siegel PB, Hall RW, Domermuth CH, DuBoise RT.
    Journal: Poult Sci; 1980 Feb; 59(2):205-10. PubMed ID: 6997852.
    Abstract:
    A line of chickens selected for ability to product high antibody titers to sheep red blood cells exhibited stronger antibody to Newcastle disease, was more resistant to Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Eimeria necatrix, a splenomeglia virus, and feather mites and less resistant to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus infection than a line selected for a lack of ability to produce antibody titers. A line of chickens selected for a nonpersistance of antibody titers to sheep red blood cells was relatively more susceptible to all infectious agents tested than a line selected for a persistence of atibody titers.
