Background: The so-called diffusely infiltrated lymphoid tissue of the chicken bursa of Fabricius was previously described as a T-dependent bursal area. Methods: We have analyzed immunohistologically its postnatal development by using a battery of mAbs, most of them raised specifically to chicken T
The avian primary lymphoid organs, the thymus and the bursa of Fabricius, undergo age-dependent changes leading in some cases to the complete atrophy of the organ. Nevertheless, the timetable of the involutive process as well as the consequences in the structure and functionality of the organs vary
## Abstract Effects of androgens on the development of the bursa of Fabricius are better understood than those of estradiol, despite the known sensitivity of the bursa to estradiol early in embryogenesis. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of oneβtime yolk injections of estradiol a
