Chickens of three blood group genotypes, B1B1, B1B2 and B1B19, were compared in their ability to produce antibodies. The B locus is the major histocompatibility locus in this species. Homozygous B1 pullets had significantly higher adult mortality than did the B1 heterozygotes. In two separate experiments the B1B1 females produced significantly fewer antibodies to Salmonella pullorum than did the B1 heterozygotes. Also the B1B1 pullets responded with lower antibody titers following immunization with ferritin, bovine serum albumin and parainfluenza-3 virus, although the differences were not significant. The results of this study suggest that an immune response gene is associated with the major histocompatibility locus in chickens, paralleling the H-2 locus and Ir genes in mice.
对三种血型基因型(B1B1、B1B2和B1B19)的鸡产生抗体的能力进行了比较。B基因座是该物种的主要组织相容性基因座。纯合的B1母鸡成年后的死亡率显著高于B1杂合子。在两项独立实验中,B1B1雌性鸡产生的针对鸡白痢沙门氏菌的抗体明显少于B1杂合子。此外,用铁蛋白、牛血清白蛋白和副流感3病毒免疫后,B1B1母鸡的抗体滴度较低,尽管差异不显著。本研究结果表明,免疫反应基因与鸡的主要组织相容性基因座相关,这与小鼠的H-2基因座和Ir基因相似。
