title: Serum electrophoretic pattern of chickens vaccinated with R2B (Mukteswar) and F strain of Newcastle disease virus.
abstract: Sera from NDV (Mukteswar and F strain) vaccinated chickens of various age groups were subjected to paper, starch-gel and immunoelectrophoresis. An increase in total serum protein, gamma globulin, alpha globulin, and a decrease in beta globulin and albumin concentrations was observed in adult birds. The concentration of the various serum proteins varied widely depending upon the age of the other test birds. IgM and IgG band characteristics did not differ in sera from vaccinated and unvaccinated birds. The one transferrin band observed in the sera from unvaccinated chickens was not observed when chickens were vaccinated with the R2B vaccine. However, this transferrin band was again observed in the sera of chickens revaccinated with the R2B. No such changes were evident in the sera of chickens vaccinated with F strain only or followed by an R2B vaccination.
