title: The mitogenic response to concanavalin A of Muscovy duck peripheral blood lymphocytes in the early post-hatching period.
abstract: The mitogenic response of peripheral blood lymphocytes in whole blood culture was examined in the Muscovy duckling. The optimal stimulation dose was found to be between 3.75 and 7.5 microg/ml of Concanavalin A. Some evidence is presented for the ontogeny of the cellular immune response commencing at 3 weeks of age.
