Induction of an antimicrobial biotin-binding egg white protein (avidin) in chick tissues in septic Escherichia coli
Abstract:
The induction of avidin in chick tissues was found in septic Escherichia coli infection. Avidin concentrations in the plasma roughly corresponded to those in the other tissues studied which suggests that avidin in chicks is a secretory protein.
