Abstract excerpt
In the present study, a selection experiment for antibody (Ab) titer against SRBC in chickens was analyzed. Two lines were divergently selected for increased and decreased Ab titer. Further, a randombred control line, originating from the same base population, was included in the experiment. The heritability for immune response against SRBC was estimated after 18 generations of selection. In total, Ab titers...
