Abstract

Expression of Concern: The PHA-Skin Test Reflects Acquired T-Cell Mediated Immunocompetence in Birds

Highlights

  • Experiment # 2 was aimed to assess to what extent the tissue swelling elicited by the PHA test was related to changes in cell profiles circulating in the bloodstream

  • Experimental assays were again conducted by Jose L. Tella (JLT) and Martina Carrete (MC), who bled the birds and sent plasma samples to Dr Lemus for laboratory analyses

  • Dr Lemus did not have any contact with the birds used in this experiment and conducted the laboratory analyses blindly
