Abstract
The passive transfer of chicken anti-brucella immune globulins promote the survival of Brucella abortus in the spleen of chickens infected with this bacteria. This enhancing effect was reduced significantly when the immune globulins were absorbed with heat-killed brucella cells to remove all the anti-brucella agglutinins and immune adherence antibodies. Therefore, it is most probable that the enhancing effect is related to the presence of brucella antibodies.
