Genetically Distinct Chicken Crosses Differ in Splenic Salmonella Colonization and Cytokine RNA Expression

Authors: Michael Kaiser (Iowa State University) , Susan J. Lamont (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Two advance intercross lines significantly differed in Salmonella colonization of the spleen and expression levels of splenic cytokine RNA. These genetic differences in immune response have the potential of improving disease resistance through genetic selection.
