“…Evidence that the humoral response may be involved in regression of RSV-induced tumors was reported by McBride et al (1978). Lines of inbred chickens that were genetic regressors developed progressively growing tumors when bursectomized in the neonatal period.…”

Parabiosis Between Avian Embryos Resistant and Susceptible to Rous Sarcoma Virus

Parabiosis of chicken embryos was used to determine if resistance or susceptibility to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) tumors could be transferred between RSV-resistant (R) and RSV-susceptible (S) embryos. Eggs from RSV-R and RSV-S lines were parabiosed at 12 days of incubation. One week after hatching the chicks were inoculated in the wing web with RSV. Birds were examined for tumor lesions through 9 weeks of age. Lesion scores of the nonparabiosed RSV-S line were significantly higher than nonparabiosed RSV-R lines. Lesion scores of RSV-R chicks that had been parabiosed to RSV-S chicks were higher than nonparabiosed RSV-R chicks. Lesion scores of RSV-S chicks parabiosed to RSV-R chicks were not different from nonparabiosed RSV-S chicks. These results suggest that the resistance to RSV was not transferred between parabionts but that there was significant transfer of susceptibility from the RSV-S embryos to the RSV-R embryos.

Nutritional modulation of immune function in broilers

Collaborative research efforts across disciplines typically result in more insight toward the hypothesis being tested due to the omnibus nature of the projects. For example, nutritional experiments evaluating a nutrient response will benefit greatly by incorporating biochemical, physiological, and immunological endpoints for measurement. Clearly, commercial poultry producers do not have the luxury of focusing on specific disciplines when field problems occur. Hence, in practice interplay exists among nutrition, genetics, management, and diseases. Dietary composition impacts immune function of the chicken. As research in the area of nutritional immunology has increased, it is becoming apparent that nutrient needs for immunity do not coincide with those for growth or skeletal tissue accretion. This review is not a comprehensive assessment of nutrient needs for immunity in the chicken. Rather, this review is concerned with nutritional modulation of immunity in broilers that offers insight for nutritionists and researchers to implement nutritional regimens to reduce the severity of disease and to test or validate nutritional regimens that heighten immunity. Nutritional modulation of the hen diet and in ovo nutrient modulation to improve chick immunity and disease resistance are discussed.
