BT cationic peptides: Small peptides that modulate innate immune responses of chicken heterophils and monocytes

BT cationic peptides Small peptides that modulate innate immune responses of chicken heterophils and monocytes.jpg
Neonatal poultry exhibit a transient susceptibility to infectious diseases during the first week of life that stems from inefficient host defense mechanisms. Yet, the initial host immune response to pathogens is a critical determinant of disease resistance and susceptibility. With this context in mind, novel ways to stimulate or modulate the…

Systemic response to Campylobacter jejuni infection by profiling gene transcription in the spleens of two genetic lines of chickens

Systemic response to Campylobacter jejuni infection by profiling gene transcription in the spleens of two genetic lines of chickens.jpg
Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a leading cause of human bacterial enteritis worldwide with poultry products being a major source of C. jejuni contamination. The chicken is the natural reservoir of C. jejuni where bacteria colonize the digestive tract of poultry, but rarely cause symptoms of disease. To understand the systemic molecular…
