Induction of immune response as characterised by expression of cytokine genes in the spleen following immunization of pre- and post-hatch chickens with herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT) vaccine was studied. The pattern of expression of IFN-gamma and IL-10 genes in pre-hatch immunized chickens was different from that observed in post-hatch HVT immunized chickens. This expression pattern of cytokine genes was associated with significantly higher HVT transcripts in pre-hatch immunized chickens than in post-hatch immunized chickens. In conclusion, HVT immunization in chickens, irrespective of the age of immunization, stimulates host response characterised by the expression of cytokine genes, such as IFN-gamma and IL-10 in the spleen. However, the age of immunization appears to influence the temporal pattern of IFN-gamma and IL-10 expression as well as replication of HVT.
研究了用土耳其疱疹病毒(HVT)疫苗对孵化前和孵化后的鸡进行免疫后,以脾脏中细胞因子基因表达为特征的免疫反应诱导情况。孵化前免疫的鸡中IFN-γ和IL-10基因的表达模式与孵化后HVT免疫的鸡中观察到的不同。细胞因子基因的这种表达模式与孵化前免疫的鸡中HVT转录本显著高于孵化后免疫的鸡有关。总之,鸡的HVT免疫,无论免疫年龄如何,都会刺激以脾脏中IFN-γ和IL-10等细胞因子基因表达为特征的宿主反应。然而,免疫年龄似乎会影响IFN-γ和IL-10表达的时间模式以及HVT的复制。
