Studies on the devlopment of autoantibodies in chickens following experimental reovirus infection

Abstract

Sera from chickens after experimental oral or foot-pad infection with an avian arthrotropic reovirus were examined for the presence of autoantibodies. Antinuclear antibodies and low levels of anti-collagen antibodies were observed in a proportion of samples. but rheumatoid factor was not detected. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
