Abstract excerpt
The present study estimated the heritability of natural antibody (NAb) levels binding rabbit red blood cells at the day of immunization with SRBC (NAb0) and 5 d postimmunization (NAb5) in 2 chicken lines divergently selected for specific antibody levels (SpAb) against SRBC and a randombred control line. In addition, genetic correlations between the levels of NAb binding rabbit red blood cells and levels of SpAb...
