Genetic and environmental variation in antibody and t-cell mediated responses in the great tit.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2005

Abstract excerpt

Host parasite coevolution assumes pathogen specific genetic variation in host immune defense. Also, if immune function plays a role in the evolution of life history, allocation to immune function should be heritable. We conducted a cross-fostering experiment to test the relative importance of genetic and environmental sources of variation in T-cell mediated inflammatory response and antigen specific antibody...
