## Abstract Genetic resistance to Marek's disease in RPL lineβ6 chickens is expressed not only at the level of host immunological responses against virus and tumour antigens, but also at the level of target lymphoid cells for virus infection and transformation. The nature of the target cell involve
Markerβassisted selection (MAS) to enhance genetic resistance to Marekβs disease (MD), a herpesvirusβinduced T cell cancer in chicken, is an attractive alternative to augment control with vaccines. Our earlier studies indicate that there are many quantitative trait loci (QTL) containing one or more
