Two genetic model systems, consisting of a series of sublines differing in linkage between the B blood group (Ea-B) and a gene that encodes immune response to glutamic acid-alanine-tyrosine (Ir-GAT) and a series of highly inbred lines of chickens, were used to examine the relationship between genetic control of levels of interleukin-2-like (IL-2-like) activity and genetic control of mitogen response to...
