Additional file 3 of Host genetics, lung T-cell immunity, and laying activity determine the disease outcome in avian influenza virus-infected chickens

Additional file 3. Seroconversion. Plasma samples from naive animals at 0 dpi and from TG05-HAR65-infected chickens at 7 dpi as well as serum samples from surviving animals and sentinels at 10 dpi were analyzed by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to Influenza A Virus nucleoprotein. Detection of antibodies in 6-week-old infected chickens and their sentinel animals (A). Detection of antibodies in 35-week-old infected laying hens (B). Data are shown as mean with standard deviation. S/P sample to positive rate, ALT: Altsteirer, BIE: Bielefelder, RAM: Ramelsloher, dpi: days post-infection.
