Transfer of delayed hypersensitivity in the chicken.
Delayed hypersensitivity (DH) can be transferred in FP and SC chickens with 1 x 10(8) spleen or peripheral blood cells from donors exhibiting moderate to strong DH reactions. Increasing the spleen cells dose from 1 to 4 x 10(8) per recipient had no marked enhancing effect on the results. Spleen cells from agammaglobulinemic donors were also shown to transfer DH reactions.
