title: Monoclonal antibodies as probes for defining cellular subsets in the bone marrow, thymus, bursa of fabricius, and spleen of the chicken.
abstract: Using immunohistochemistry, the distribution and characteristics of cells detected by the newly developed monoclonals HIS-CI (B lymphocytes), HIS-C7 (leucocytes), HIS-C12 (IgM), CVI-ChIgM-59.7 (IgM), CVI-ChIgG-47.3 (IgG), and CVI-ChIgA-46.5 (IgA) are described in bone marrow, thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and spleen of chickens of different ages. Furthermore, quantification of cells positive with the described monoclonal antibodies was performed on cytocentrifuge preparations. The specificities of the monoclonal antibodies are discussed.
