Genetic control of cell-mediated immunity in chickens

1991

Bacon, L.D. | Dietert, R.R.

The present review briefly outlines the effector cells and molecules influencing cell-mediated immunity. Emphasis is placed on the genes determining these molecules in mammals and in the chicken, including genes for cytokines and cytokine receptors. The review concludes with a tabular presentation containing examples of specific genetic influences on cell-mediated immunity in chickens and mammals.
