[Study of the association of major histocompatibility complex with antibody response to vaccines in Khorasan native chickens]

ABSTRACT

Background: Major histocompatibility complex [MHC] plays a central role in regulation and control of the immune responses to infectious diseases. Due to its polymorphism, individual differences in response to vaccines have been observed in different chicken populations. Studying the association of chicken MHC with immune response to vaccines will help the control of infectious disease and vaccination success
