Genomics-Based Analysis of Antibody Response to Sheep Red Blood Cells in Chickens
Immune response provides vertebrates an important mechanism to fight pathogens and to reduce the incidence of diseases. Defining the molecular basis of antibody response may facilitate genetic improvement in the immune response of animals to pathogens. For almost 4 decades, antibody titers in …

Immunological Response to Clostridium perfringens in Two Genetically Divergent Lines of Chickens as Influenced by Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Genotype
… genetically selected for low (LA) or high (HA) antibody response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) displayed a correlated change in major histocompatibility complex (MHC), so that LA chickens were 96% B¹³ and HA chickens were 96% B²¹. During a clinical outbreak of necrotic enteritis, B²¹B²¹ …

Reproductive Soundness and Egg Quality in Chickens Selected for Low and High Antibody Response
… were selected for high (HAS) or low (LAS) antibody response to sheep red blood cells. The focus of this thesis was to investigate correlated responses in reproductive soundness and egg quality resulting from that selection. Forty-five hens and 25 roosters from each antibody line were used. …

Bilateral Asymmetry in Chickens of Different Genetic backgrounds
… consists of a series of experiments conducted to study developmental stability of various genetic stocks at different stages in the life cycle. The primary measures of stability were type and degree of asymmetry of bilateral traits and heterosis. Higher relative asymmetry (RA), which was …
