Turkey poults were intramuscularly injected with SRBC cells at 10 days old prior to infection with TCV. Data are expressed as mean±standard deviation (SD) of hemagglutination titers (log2) from five turkey poults in each group at 7 days after injection.
Data are expressed as mean±SD of stimulation index from five turkey poults in each group at 10 days old.
Turkey poults were treated with CsA, 100mg per kg body weight, at 7 days old in trial 1 or 4 days old in trial 2 and every third day thereafter.
