Effect of large doses of turkey herpes virus on antibody response in chickens.
During vaccination of chickens, repeated administration of large doses of a cell-associated turkey herpes virus compared to a single large dose did not affect markedly the virus-neutralizing antibody titre but accelerated the formation of agaroprecipitating antibodies. The formation of antibody types proceeded independently of each other. Health condition of chickens was not influenced.
