Abstract
Antibody responses to the hapten dinitrophenyl (DNP) and the concentra tion of catecholamine in chickens received a single injection of 6-Hyd roxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the chorioallantoic cavity at the embryonal stage were evaluated. A significantly enhanced anti-DNP IgA response and a markedly decreased level of noradrenaline in the peripheral bloo d were observed in chickens treated with 400 mu g of 6-OHDA at 14 days of incubation. These results suggested the immunomodulatory influence of the sympathetic nervous system.
