Abstract

Despite some quantitative differences, the `natural' antibody to erythrocytes present in normal fowl serum was found to be transmitted to yolk and chick in the same manner as induced antibody to sheep red cells. Estimations of direct and indirect agglutination titres and of haemolytic activity in the sera and yolks of hens after one and two injections of sheep red cells showed differences between the antibodies of sera and yolks, and also between those produced during the primary and secondary responses. The proportion of non-agglutinating antibodies was higher, and the haemolytic activity lower, after the second injection. Antibodies transferred to yolk and chick were mainly non-agglutinating and not haemolytic.
