Marek's disease virus (MDV) infection in the brain was studied chronologically after inoculating 3-week-old chickens of two genetic lines with two strains of serotype 1 MDV representing two pathotypes (v and vv++). Viral replication in the brain was strongly associated with the development of lesions. Three viral antigens (pp38, gB, and meq) were detected in the brain of infected chickens. Marked differences between v and vv++ pathotypes of MDV were identified for level of virus replication…

The results suggest possible underlying immunologic mechanisms for MDV-induced TP, and chickens infected with MDV had more interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and interferon (IFN)-gamma in their brain tissues compared to uninfected chickens.

Results suggest that although cell death and decrease lymphocyte function seem to be related to MDV virulence and certainly will be associated with immunosuppression, they might not fully explain the previously reported MDV-IS.

Differential protein expression patterns in skin between MDV-infected and uninfected specific pathogen-free chickens 28 days post infection are analyzed by combining two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry (MS) analyses, indicating that beta 2-microglobulin might play very important roles in the viral evasion from host immune response.

Northern blot analysis of lymphocyte fractions purified by immunoaffinity showed that CD4+ and AV37+ fractions from lymphomas expressed meq and the small RNA antisense to ICP4 (SAR), consistent with the notion that transformed cells areCD4+ cells, carrying the AV37 marker and expressing mequ and SAR.
