Abstract excerpt
Experiments were conducted to determine the principal mode of inheritance for antibody response to SRBC in selected populations of chickens and their crosses. Additive genetic variation was important in the inheritance of both primary and secondary responses to this antigen. Reciprocal differences and heterosis also influenced the secondary response. Kinetics of primary and secondary antibody responses were...
