Enhancement of cellular and humoral immunity following embryonic exposure to melatonin in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo)
GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 143(2), 178–183.
author keywords: melatonin; immune response; turkey poults; neonate; embryonic
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; Animals, Newborn; Antibody Formation / physiology; Chi-Square Distribution; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Embryo, Nonmammalian / drug effects; Embryo, Nonmammalian / immunology; Female; Immunity, Cellular / physiology; Melatonin / administration & dosage; Melatonin / immunology; Ovum / drug effects; Ovum / metabolism; Random Allocation; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / immunology
TL;DR:
Data suggest that embryonic exposure to melatonin enhances post-hatch immune development and responsiveness, and in ovo melatonin administration significantly accelerated the development of cell-mediated (PHA-P) and humoral (CRBC) immune responses.

2003 journal article
Immune function in turkey breeder hens during the short day prelighting period and renewal of photosensitivity for egg production
POULTRY SCIENCE, 82(1), 150–154.
author keywords: turkey; immune; recycle; photoperiod; photorefractory
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibody Formation / radiation effects; Basophils / immunology; Female; Light; Oviposition / radiation effects; Photoperiod; Phytohemagglutinins / immunology; Skin / immunology; Skin Tests; Turkeys / immunology; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
It is concluded that recycling of PR turkey hens was associated with altered cellular and humoral immune responses characterized by initial decline then recovery in both the light restriction and the postphotostimulation periods.

Melatonin enhances cellular and humoral immune responses in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) via an opiatergic mechanism
GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 131(3), 258–263.
MeSH headings : Adjuvants, Immunologic / pharmacology; Animals; Antibody Formation / drug effects; Coturnix / immunology; Female; Immunity, Cellular / drug effects; Melatonin / pharmacology; Naltrexone / pharmacology; Narcotic Antagonists / pharmacology; Photoperiod; Receptors, Opioid / drug effects
TL;DR:
Melatonin enhances a cellular and humoral immune response in Japanese quail via an opiatergic mechanism and significantly reduced the immunoenhancing effect of melatonin across all naltrexone doses.

2002 journal article
Effect of melatonin supplementation on the ontogeny of immunity in the Large White turkey poult
POULTRY SCIENCE, 81(12), 1898–1903.
author keywords: melatonin; turkey; poult; immune; ontogeny
MeSH headings : Aging; Animals; Antibody Formation; Basophils / immunology; Dietary Supplements; Erythrocytes / immunology; Hypersensitivity; Immunity, Cellular; Melatonin / administration & dosage; Phytohemagglutinins / immunology; Skin / immunology; Skin Tests; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / immunology
TL;DR:
Melatonin administration accelerated the development of cell-mediated (PHA-P-induced CBH reaction) and humoral (CRBC-induced antibody titer) immune responses, and these responses were elevated above controls through 21 d posthatch.

2002 journal article
Melatonin can produce immunoenhancement in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) without prior immunosuppression
GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 129(2), 122–126.
MeSH headings : Adjuvants, Immunologic / administration & dosage; Adjuvants, Immunologic / pharmacology; Animals; Antibody Formation / drug effects; Coturnix / physiology; Drug Administration Schedule; Female; Immune System / drug effects; Immunity, Cellular / drug effects; Immunosuppression Therapy; Melatonin / administration & dosage; Melatonin / pharmacology
TL;DR:
It was clear that transient and continuous administration of melatonin increased the cellular and humoral immune responses of Japanese quail without prior immunosuppression, suggesting that the immunoenhancing effect ofmelatonin is not limited to reconstitution of weakened immune systems, but can be observed in normal, immunologically unsuppressed birds.

Pineal melatonin secretion, but not ocular melatonin secretion, is sufficient to maintain normal immune responses in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 126(3), 352–358.
author keywords: melatonin; immune response; Japanese quail; pineal; eye
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibody Formation; CD4 Lymphocyte Count; CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes; Coturnix / immunology; Coturnix / physiology; Eye / metabolism; Female; Flow Cytometry; Immunity; Immunity, Cellular; Lymphocyte Count; Melatonin / administration & dosage; Melatonin / metabolism; Pineal Gland / metabolism; Pineal Gland / surgery
TL;DR:
The data suggest that immunodepression is only observed in birds with two thirds of the plasma melatonin removed by pinealectomy, and removal of one third of the Plasma melatonin is not sufficient to reduce cellular and humoral responses in the Japanese quail.
