2. 1. Avian IgY antibody : In vitro and in vivo

   Author : David Carlander; Lennart Hammarström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Antigen production; chicken; cystic fibrosis; egg; ELISA; IgY; immunotherapy; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; yolk; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major antibody found in eggs from chicken (Gallus domesticus). IgY can be used as an alternative to mammalian antibodies normally used in research, and its use in immunotherapy has recently been proposed. READ MORE

4. 2. Mapping Genes Affecting Phenotypic Traits in Chicken

   Author : Susanne Kerje; Leif Andersson; Martien Groenen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; chicken; Quantitative Trait Loci; growth; egg production; epistasis; plumage colour; Extended black; MC1R; Dominant white; PMEL17; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

   Abstract : The purpose of gene mapping is to understand the underlying genetics of simple and complex traits like plumage colour and growth. This thesis is based on a cross between the wild ancestor of the modern chicken, the red junglefowl, and a White Leghorn line selected for high egg mass. READ MORE

5. 3. Production of polyclonal antibodies in rabbits and chickens immunised with human immunoglobulin G : A study of the utility of egg yolk antibody production as a substitute for rabbit serum antibody production

   Author : Lise Svendsen Bollen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Laboratory animals; antibody production; egg yolk; adjuvants; antibody response; avidity; Försöksdjursvetenskap; Laboratory animal science; Försöksdjursvetenskap; zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Development;

   Abstract : The utility of chicken egg yolk antibodies as an alternative to rabbit antisera was studied by comparing antibody and avidity development in immunised animals (15 rabbits and 30 chickens) during a one-year immunisation scheme. Human IgG was used as the model antigen and the efficacy of three adjuvants, Freund's Complete Adjuvant, Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant and Hunter's TiterMax, was compared. READ MORE

6. 4. Genetic and Genomic Studies in Chicken : Assigning Function to Vertebrate Genes

   Author : Jonas Eriksson; Leif Andersson; Greger Larson; Göran Hjälm; Tosso Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Chicken; BCO2; TSHR; COMTD1; Phenotypic variation; Domestication; Selective sweeps; Pigmentation; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : A major challenge in the post-genomic era is to understand how genome sequence variants (genotype) give rise to the enormous diversity observed in terms of morphology, physiology and behavior (phenotype) among living organisms. Domestic animals—with their tremendous phenotypic variation—are excellent model organisms for determining the relationships between genotype and phenotype. READ MORE

7. 5. Chicken Genomics - Linkage and QTL mapping

   Author : Per Wahlberg; Leif Andersson; Ruedi Fries; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chicken; quantitative genetics; linkage map; QTL mapping; recombination; long-term selection; Z chromosome; selective sweep; SNP; Genetics; Genetik;

   Abstract : This thesis presents results from genetic studies conducted in the chicken (Gallus gallus). The domestication of chicken is believed to have been initiated approximately 7,000 – 9,000 years ago in Southeast Asia. READ MORE
