The PHA test reflects acquired T-cell mediated immunocompetence in birds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 cological immunology requires techniques to reliably measure immunocompetence in wild vertebrates. The PHA-skin test, involving subcutaneous injection of a mitogen (phytohemagglutinin, PHA) and measurement of subsequent swelling as a surrogate of T-cell ...

Ecologic Immunology of Avian Influenza (H5N1) in Migratory Birds
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 The claim that migratory birds are responsible for the long-distance spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N1 rests on the assumption that infected wild birds can remain asymptomatic and migrate long distances unhampered.

Iron, copper and immunocompetence [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2007 Microminerals including copper and iron are essential to immunity and health in human beings. The development of powerful tools in analytical cell biology and molecular genetics has facilitated efforts to identify specific cellular and molecular functions of trace elements in the maturation, activation and functions of host defence mechanisms. Selected
