Abstract excerpt
Serology and biochemistry were used to identify major histocompatibility complex (MHC) types in chicken lines selected for high and low antibody response to sheep red blood cells. Serological typing was performed by direct haemagglutination, using antisera obtained by erythrocyte alloimmunization within the lines. Four serotypes were identified, called preliminarily B114, B119, B121 and B124. Subsequently, these...
