Abstract excerpt
Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), first isolated in the late 1980s, has caused economic losses to the poultry industry in many countries. As all chicken lines studied to date are susceptible to ALV infection, there is enormous interest in developing resistant chicken lines. The ALV-J receptor, chicken Na+/H+ exchange 1 (chNHE1) and the critical amino acid sequences involved in viral attachment and entry...
