SIEGEL Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Blacksburg Virginia 24061 USA Summary Experiments were conducted in lines of chickens selected for high HW and low LW body weight to determine effects of dosage of antigen line sex-linked dwarfism and plasma thyroid hormone concentrations on antibody titers to sheep red blood cells SRBC . The greatest separation of lines and of dwarf-normal genotypes occurred with an intermediate dose ml of of SRBC. Five days after administration of SRBC at this dose antibody responses were greater for line LW than HW and in dwarf than normal chicks. The dwarf-normal but not the line relationship was evident for the booster challenge as well. Separation of lines and dwarf-normal genotypes for plasma thyroid hormone concentrations was greater at 71 than 36 days of age. Also the effect of the dwarfing allele on thyroid hormones was dependent on the background genome. There was no relationship between plasma triiodothyronine T and thyroxine T4 concentrations and antibody responses to SRBC. These data do not support the suggestions of a relationship between antibodies to SRBC and plasma T and T4. Key words chicken dwarf triiodothyronine Tj thyroxine T4 genetics.
