Natural haemagglutinins and immune responsiveness in young chicks

Abstract:
Titres of natural haemagglutinins to sheep erythrocytes and of experimentally induced antibodies to Newcastle disease virus (NDV), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human gammaglobulin (HgG) were determined in White Rock broiler chicks immunised at 28 days of age. There was no relationship between levels of natural haemagglutinins and induced antibody levels or between titres of antibody to NDV and titres of antibody to BSA or HgG. A highly significant correlation (r=0.37) was found between titres of antibody to BSA and to HgG.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
