Genetic control of serum immunoglobulin G levels in the chicken.

Serum IgG (7S) levels differed significantly for chickens from 10 different inbred lines. Within lines differences between B blood groups were statistically significant. The genetic control of serum IgG was further examined using birds from B complex haplotypes marked at the B locus and the Ir-GAT locus. Birds from each of five subgroup haplotypes (B1B1 Ir-GAT-Lo and -Hi, B19B19 Ir-GAT-Lo and -Hi, and B2B2 Ir-GAT intermediate) were tested for levels of serum IgG at 3, 6, 9, and 21 weeks of age. The rate and level of IgG reached in the serum was more than two-fold greater in the GAT-Hi birds than in the GAT-Lo. The Ir region of the B complex exerts some control over the ontogenesis of IgG, though most of the genetic variation seems not to be B complex associated.

The nature of pulsar radiation.

Pulsar radiation may be due to particles which gyrate while moving in bunches along curved orbits. If emitted by electrons, the pulses should come from near the speed of light circle; if emitted by protons, they should arise within a few stellar radii of the underlying star.
