Induction of Intestinal Immune Response to Lentogenic Vaccine Strain of Newcastle Disease Virus in Chicken
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mucosal surface provide portal entry for a majority of infectious agents. Hence, protection at the mucosal surface through immunization plays an important role in containing its systemic spread. Mucosal vaccination of chicken at early stages of life with live attenuated strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) induces both cellular and humoral immune responses against the Newcastle disease. In order to characterize the mucosal immune response elicited by live virus in chicken, the presence of specific antibodies in intestinal secretions of immunized birds was evaluated. The proliferative response of Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (IELs) and cytotoxicity of IELs against xenogenic targets were also evaluated. The IEL proliferation and cytotoxicity remained un-influenced by the vaccination of chicks with live F strain of NDV. Intranasal and oculonasal route of vaccination induced virus specific IgG and IgA in the intestinal secretions, however, at 7 weeks post vaccination the IgG levels were greatly reduced and IgA levels were undetectable.

Molecular Detection of Lentogenic Strain of Newcastle Disease Virus in Commercial Broiler Chickens Using Sentinel Birds in Iran: The First Report
Abstract Background and Aims: Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious disease that affects many species of birds and causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide and the pathogenicity of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains varies with different virulence. We aim to detect lentogenic (low virulence) ND virus (ND/IR 2010) using sentinel birds and molecular det...

Current vaccination strategies for commercial poultry using live attenuated and inactivated Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines have some limitation and difficulties, and new vaccines with distinct features are needed. Recently, in ovo vaccination technology is concerned as a safe, efficacious, and convenient method. Common ND vaccines used in chickens cannot be employed in ovo due to embryo toxici...

Vaccination programs to control Newcastle disease include use of low virulent live virus vaccines or inactivated vaccines to induce protective immunity. In order to further characterize the immune response elicited by live virus, we evaluated both cellular and humoral immune response to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) consequent to vaccine application by oculonasal and intranasal routes. Specific...
