Marek's Disease Virus–Induced Immunosuppression: Array Analysis of Chicken Immune Response Gene Expression Profiling
1 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of chickens induced by a highly cell-associated oncogenic alpha-herpesvirus, Marek's disease virus (MDV). MDV replicates in chicken lymphocytes and establishes a latency infection within CD4(+) T cells. Host-virus interaction, immune responses to infection, and transcriptional profiling of chicken gene expression in MD are poorly understood. In this study we...
