Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enteritidis (SE) contamination of poultry products is of global food-safety concern. The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) affects host innate immunity to intracellular bacteria because of its ability to transport divalent cations in late endosome/lysosomes. Studying the association of the NRAMP1 gene and chicken innate immune response to SE can, therefore, aid understanding...
