Abstract excerpt
Embryonic chimeras were used to demonstrate an early separation of chicken T and B cell precursors. Genetically polymorphic cell surface antigens, Bu-1 and Ov, which are expressed on cells of the B and T lineage, respectively, are useful markers in adoptive cell transfer studies. Allelic products Bu-1a and Bu-1b can be detected with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) L22 and 11G2, respectively, and the Ov antigen with...
