Abstract excerpt
Sublines homozygous for each of four MHC haplotypes were developed from randombred control populations of turkeys and challenged with Pasteurella multocida (capsular serogroup a, somatic serotype 3, 4) at 6 wk of age or Newcastle disease virus (NDV; Texas GB strain) at 4 wk of age. In addition, i...
