Vitellogenin, the precursor of egg yolk phosphoproteins, is synthesized in the liver of the laying hen but is not normally synthesized by roosters.

We have purified vitellogenin messenger RNA from the livers of estrogentreated roosters and have characterized it as follows: (...

The eight isolates could be separated into two separate immunotypes. Type 1 included isolates associated with ovine abortion and one agent recovered from the feces of an apparently normal sheep. Type 2 isolates were associated with polyarthritis and conjunctivit...
