Abstract

Chickens of four inbred lines were tested for the development of delayed hypersensitivity to mycobacterial antigens. It was found that WA and WB lines failed to develop tuberculin hypersensitivity. On the other hand, IB line was a strong responder, while the response of CB line was intermediate.
