A decreased antibody response to injected sheep red blood cells and weight losses to the extent of 25-38% were observed in the bursa Fabricii and thymus in chicks fed an aflatoxin diet (10% w/w) for 3 weeks. The immune organs did not show any significant histopathological changes. The antibody titre

A substantial amount of data point to antiviral and immunomodulatory eects of lithium both in vitro and in vivo. Antiviral eect of lithium, particularly against herpes viruses, was demonstrated both in aective patients taking lithium for prophylactic purposes and in non-aective subjects. Modulatory
T he development of immune defense mecha- nisms begins early during fetal life but is not completely achieved at birth, leading to a peculiar susceptibility of the neonate to infectious diseases. 1,2 The earliest hematopoietic stem cells are detectable in the yolk sac around 6 weeks of gestation, bu
We have summarized current knowledge on the aging of the immune system in three vertebrate groups: fish, amphibians and birds. Available data are few due to difficulties in studying ageing in natural populations and in accurately determining age. In all vertebrates, the most obvious evidence of the
