Gut Microbiota Co-microevolution with Selection for Host Humoral Immunity

Gut Microbiota Co-microevolution with Selection for Host Humoral Immunity

To explore coevolution between the gut microbiota and the humoral immune system of the host, we used chickens as the model organism. The host populations were two lines (HAS and LAS) developed from a common founder that had undergone 40 generations of divergent selection for antibody titers to sheep...
