Alloantigen systems L and P influence phagocytic function independent of the major histocompatability complex (B) in chickens

Qureshi, M. A., Ali, R. A., Thomas, L. N., Baloch, R. N., & Briles, W. E. (2000, September 1). Poultry Science.

By: M. Qureshi n, R. Ali n, L. Thomas n, R. Baloch n & W. Briles*

author keywords: alloantigen systems; phagocytosis; chicken major histocompatability complex; immunity
MeSH headings : Animals; Cells, Cultured; Chickens / genetics; Chickens / immunology; Crosses, Genetic; Escherichia coli; Female; Genotype; Isoantigens / physiology; Major Histocompatibility Complex; Male; Monocytes / immunology; Phagocytosis
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities; Microbial infections and disease research
TL;DR: It is suggested that the L and P non-MHC alloantigen systems have the potential to influence immune responses by modulating phagocytic function in chickens, and this modulation seems to be independent of the B (MHC) system. (via Semantic Scholar)

2000 article

Turkey Hen Zinc Source Affects Progeny Immunity and Disease Resistance

Kidd, M. T., Qureshi, M. A., Ferket, P. R., & Thomas, L. N. (2000, October 1). The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, Vol. 9, pp. 414–423.

By: M. Kidd n, M. Qureshi n, P. Ferket n  & L. Thomas n

author keywords: Bordetella avium; cellular immunity; macrophage; progeny; turkey; zinc methionine
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Antimicrobial Peptides and Activities; Livestock and Poultry Management
TL;DR: Results indicate that dietary ZnM supplementation to hens may aid progeny immune organ development and enhance nonspecific immunity, however, progeny from hens supplemented with Znm had a depressed BW after B. avium infection that may have been due to a heightened immune response.

1997 article

Enzyme Supplementation to Enhance Wheat Utilization in Starter Diets for Broilers and Turkeys

Crouch, A. N., Grimes, J. L., Ferket, P. R., Thomas, L. N., & Sefton, A. E. (1997, July 1). The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, Vol. 6, pp. 147–154.

By: A. Crouch n, J. Grimes n, P. Ferket n , L. Thomas n & A. Sefton*

author keywords: body weight; chicks; enzyme; feed conversion; gut viscosity; poults; wheat
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Agronomic Practices and Intercropping Systems; Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis
TL;DR: It was concluded that supplementation of wheat sources for both chicks and poults lowered intestinal viscosity, and enzyme supplementation of NC wheat diets improved performance of chicks andpoults and source of wheat affected chick and poult performance. (via Semantic Scholar)
