Abstract excerpt
White Leghorn chickens from lines selected for four immune-response traits (IR lines) were serotyped for B system alloantigens characterizing the haplotypes and genotypes to examine the effect of divergent selection for multitrait immunocompetence on MHC haplotype and genotype frequencies. The se...
