The herpesvirus of turkeys, a supposedly apathogenic virus commonly used for vaccination against Marek's disease, was found to induce Marek's disease tumour-specific antigens on spleen and peripheral blood lymphocytes in vaccinated chickens. Herpesvirus of turkeys may be able to induce the neoplastic transformation of lymphocytes and the consequential stimulation of an anti-tumour immune response may be an important component of vaccinal immunity.
火鸡疱疹病毒，一种通常被认为无致病性、常用于预防马立克氏病的疫苗，被发现可在接种疫苗的鸡的脾脏和外周血淋巴细胞上诱导马立克氏病肿瘤特异性抗原。火鸡疱疹病毒可能能够诱导淋巴细胞的肿瘤转化，而由此产生的抗肿瘤免疫反应的刺激可能是疫苗免疫的一个重要组成部分。
