Genetic analysis of transplantation immunity in the fowl

Isolation and characterization of a C4-like complement protein from chicken plasma

“…An male was later mated to a line GH female and also to two full-sibs so that back-crosses and progeny were obtained. In subsequent generations, matings were designed to maintain segregation at the B and C blood group loci (Schierman, 1962). This line has been used 13 extensively in skin transplantation studies; three B alleles, B , B^^'^ and B^ have been kept deliberately segregated.…”

Role of the B complex in the genetic control of the Rous sarcoma virus induced tumors in chickens

“…Some examples of h calculated for disease resistance are: leukosis (Lush, et al, 1948) was later mated to a line ffl female and also to two full-sibs so that backcrosses and F2 progeny were obtained. In subsequent generations, matings were designed to maintain segregation at the B and C blood group loci (Schierman, 1962). This line has been used extensively in skin trans- freedom (Steel and Torrie, 1960).…”
