Characterization of Marek’s disease herpesvirus‐specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in chickens inoculated with a non‐oncogenic vaccine strain of MDV

Abstract excerpt

Previously we have reported that reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV)-transformed cell lines expressing Marek's disease virus (MDV) genes pp38, meq or gB were lysed by syngeneic MDV-specific splenocytes from major histocompatibility complex (MHC):B9B19 and MHC:B1B21 chickens. In contrast, REV-transformed cell lines expressing the MDV gene ICP4 were only lysed by syngeneic MDV-specific splenocytes from MHC:B21B21...
