Abstract

Humoral immune response was studied in broilers against inclusion body hepatutis (IBH) inactivated oil adjuvanted vaccine, and virulent PDRC-1 strain of the IBH virus by using agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IBH antibody was detected from seventh onwards in IBH vaccinated and infected groups of chickens by both the tests. Infected and challenged groups exhibited strong immune response when compared with the vaccinated group. The immunosuppressed group of chickens infected with IBH virus showed poor developedment of IBH antibody.
