Abstract
SUMMARY Turkey poults inoculated with Mycoplasma meleagridis during embryonic life did not become immunologically tolerant. Antibody of the IgM type was detected by the serum plate agglutination test as early as 5 days of age, and remained at a low level until after 3 weeks of age, when it was detected by the tube agglutination test. Production of IgG antibody against M. meleagridis was not detected until 6 weeks of age, as shown by hemagglutination-inhibition and mercaptoethanol-resistant agglutination titers.
