Abstract :
To determine the B-cell target antigens of virulent E. coli that might be exploited to protect itself, serological responses were assessed in one of the best-adapted exotic breeds of backyard system (Rhode Island Red, RIR), one
native breed (Haringhata Black, HB), and one commercial strain (broiler) upon experimental inoculation of virulent
E. coli. Variation in detection of B cell target antigens of E. coli was observed in HB, RIR and broiler birds by Western
blotting. It is concluded that B cell target antigens (78, 66, 43, 29, 5 kDa) are diferent in native birds against virulent E.
coli that might be the driving factor of disease resistance as opposed to RIR and broiler birds where clinical symptoms
were imminent.
