Genetic differences in the mitogenic response of peripheral blood lymphocytes in the chicken

O Lassila et al. J Immunogenet. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

The mitogenic responses of chicken peripheral blood lymphocytes were compared in two partially inbred chicken lines and in their hybrids. The lymphocytes of line P chickens showed a higher phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) response than those of line V chickens and (P X V)F1 hybrids. The Con A responses were of the same magnitude in all chicken lines. The higher PHA response in line P chickens was not sex-linked, apparently was not associated with the major histocompatibility complex and it did not correlate with immunoglobulin G allotypes.
