Development of cold agglutinin to chicken red blood cells in Mycoplasma synoviae infection.
Serum from birds chronically infected with Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) evidenced a cold agglutinin (CA) which agglutinated chicken, cat, dog, and guinea pig red blood cells (RBC) but did not agglutinate bovine and sheep RBC. Agglutinin to dog RBC was widespread in serums of birds, whether or not infected with MS.
