Abstract
The serologic properties of chicken antisera to turkey bursa and thymus were assayed by the cytotoxicity tests and indirect immunofluorescence. The following antigenic surface determinants were detected, using proper absorptions on thymic and bursal lymphoid cells: common lymphocyte antigens present on both kinds of cells; thymus-specific antigens; bursa-specific antigens; and immunoglobulin surface determinants in bursa cells, as revealed by direct immunofluorescence.
