The immune responses of two S. gallinarum strains, L46 and CN 180, were compared in 15-week-old cockerels. The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were assayed by means of the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) and the macrophage migration inhibition test (MIT), respectively. Birds were vaccinated with the two vaccines, respectively, and bled for sera (for IHA) and cells (for MIT) eve...
