Trade-off between growth and immune function: a meta-analysis of selection experiments (2011, background): “Could it be that by selectively breeding for animals that invest more resources into rapid growth, the industry also selected animals that allocated fewer resources towards developing immune function or with a changed immune function? There is some evidence in free-living birds suggesting a trade-of”
Captive and free-living red knots Calidris canutus exhibit differences in non-induced immunity that suggest different immune strategies in different environments (2008, methodology): “We placed 25 ml of plasma in the first and second rows of a 96-well plate and then from the second to the eleventh rows we performed ten 1:2 dilutions using Dulbecco’s PBS ( Mauck et al. 2005 ).”
