Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is responsible for a highly immunosuppressive disease in young chickens which causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. The structural protein genes (VP2, VP3 and VP4) of a variant IBDV strain (GLS) were expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus expression system. Susceptible chickens vaccinated with a single dose of the recombinant IBDV antigens were completely protected against challenge with two variant strains of IBDV (GLS and Delaware), and partially protected against the standard challenge strain (STC). A booster dose of the recombinant antigens induced higher levels of neutralizing antibodies and afforded complete protection against both variant and standard virus challenges. Specific-pathogen-free hens vaccinated with a single dose of the same subunit vaccine produced virus-neutralizing antibodies that were capable of passively protecting the progeny from infection with variant IBDV.

D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011201 Poultry Diseases Diseases of birds which are raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption and are usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. The concept is differentiated from BIRD DISEASES which is for diseases of birds not considered poultry and usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild.

D002060 Bursa of Fabricius An epithelial outgrowth of the cloaca in birds similar to the thymus in mammals. It atrophies within 6 months after birth and remains as a fibrous remnant in adult birds. It is composed of lymphoid tissue and prior to involution, is the site of B-lymphocyte maturation. Fabricius Bursa
D002645 Chickens Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA. Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
