## Abstract The development of chicken embryonic gonads is locally regulated by the systematic action of growth factors. Recently, we used suppressive subtraction cloning to identify transforming growth factor Ξ²2 (TGFβΞ²2) as a growth factor gene preferentially expressed in chicken embryonic ovaries
Fas ligand (FasL), a cell surface molecule belonging to the tumour necrosis family, induces apoptosis through its receptor, Fas antigen (Fas). Germinal centre B cells strongly express Fas, but the role of the Fas-FasL system in B-cell selection in the germinal centre remains unclear. In the present
## Abstract The presence of avidin, a progesteroneβdependent oviductal glycoprotein, was studied in viral tumors. Newborn chickens were infected with the acute leukemia virus OK 10, and the first tumors occurred within 2β3 weeks. Avidin was assayed using a [^14^]biotinβbinding method and radioimmun
