Influence of Genetic Resistance of the Chicken and Virulence of Marek's Disease Virus (MDV) on Nitric Oxide Responses After MDV Infection
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical produced by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS), is a potent antiviral agent in addition to having immune regulating functions. Recently, it was reported that chickens resistant (N2a, MHC: B21B21) to the development of Marek's disease (MD) had a greater potential to produce NO than MD-susceptible chickens (P2a, MHC: B19B19). This difference was shown by measuring NO levels in chick...
