Quantitative trait loci involved in the primary antibody response to keyhole lympet hemocyanin (KLH) and Mycobacterium butyricum were detected in two independent populations of laying hens. The first population was an F2 cross (H/L) of lines divergently selected for either high or low primary antibody responses to SRBC, and the second population was an F2 cross between 2 commercial layer lines displaying...
