The expression levels of mRNA encoding a panel of 28 chicken cytokines and chemokines
were quantified in intestinal lymphocytes following Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria tenella …

Coccidiosis, a major intestinal parasitic disease of poultry, induces a cell-mediated immune
response against the etiologic agent of the disease, Eimeria. In the current study, the …

The recent cloning of chicken genes coding for interleukins, chemokines, and other proteins
involved in immune regulation and inflammation allowed us to analyze their expression …

Inbred chickens SC (B2B2) and TK (B15B21) display different levels of susceptibility to
Eimeria acervulina infection. Following primary and secondary infections, SC chickens …

This study evaluated the effects of selective depletion of T lymphocytes on Eimeria infections
in chickens. Cell depletions were initiated in day-or week-old Hyline SC strain chickens …

Coccidiosis is recognized as the major parasitic disease of poultry and is caused by the
apicomplexan protozoa Eimeria. Increasing evidence shows the complexity of the host …

The role of intestinal lymphocytes and gamma interferon (IFN-γ) production in protective
immunity to Eimeria tenella infection was evaluated in two inbred strains of chickens (SC …

The major T lymphocyte subpopulations expressing CD8, CD4, or antigen-specific T cell
receptor (TCR) heterodimer αβ (TCR2) or γδ (TCR 1) were assessed in duodenum …

We characterized the leucocyte subpopulations after infection with Eimeria tenella in both
naive and immune chickens. Immunocytochemical staining was used to characterize the …

The application of a tetrazolium salt, WST-8, 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-
(2, 4-disulfophenyl)-2H tetrazolium, monosodium salt to the lymphocyte proliferation assay …
