In this study, a replicative fowl adenovirus serotype 1 (CELO) recombinant expressing chicken interferon-gamma (ChIFN-gamma) was constructed. In the engineered recombinant, the ChIFN-gamma gene was placed under the control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. The ChIFN-gamma expression cassette was inserted in the right end of the CELO genome (D fragment), which was able to carry the largest insertion of foreign DNA without affecting the replication functions of the vector. The recombinant ChIFN-gamma (rChIFN-gamma) produced in the CELO-virus expression system was characterized by comparing its biologic activities with that of rChIFN-gamma produced via the baculovirus expression system (Bac-ChIFN-gamma). CELO-ChIFN-gamma inhibited the replication of cytolytic virus in chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and activated macrophages in a better manner than did Bac-ChIFN-gamma . Moreover, the in vitro and in vivo stability of the CELO-derived rChIFN-gamma was considerably higher than that of the Bac-ChIFN-gamma. The CELO-ChIFN-gamma recombinant vector was able to replicate in vitro in the loghorn male hepatoma (LMH) hepatocyte cell line and to produce detectable levels of recombinant cytokine in supernatant as early as 90 min post-infection. Therefore, the CELO-virus expression system is an appropriate system for high-level expression of biologically active and stable ChIFN-gamma.

The Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) baculovirus expression system (BES) is a eukaryotic expression system. It possesses great capability for post-translation modification in expression of foreign proteins. With the counterselection cassette rpsL-neo and phage λ-Red recombinase, the defective-rescue BmNPV BES reBmBac can be employed for efficient heterologous multigene coexpression at different gene sites in one baculovirus genome.

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a cytokine produced by activated natural killer cells and T lymphocytes, is an important regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Interleukin (IL)-18, also known as IFN-γ-inducing factor, is a cytokine that induces T and natural killer cells to produce IFN-γ. In this study, the chicken IL-18 (ChIL-18) and chicken IFN-γ (ChIFN-γ) genes were inserted into the pET28a prokaryotic expression vector, resulting in pET28a-IL-18 and pET28a-IFN-γ, respectively.

Objective To prepare and characterize the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against chicken interleuikin-4 (ChIL-4). Methods Using lymphocyte hybridoma technique, 8-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant ChIL-4 (rChIL-4) with GST tag (GST-ChIL-4), and rChIL-4 with histidine tag (His-ChIL-4) was utilized to set up an indirect ELISA to screen positive hybridomas. Limited dilution methods were used to generate hybridoma cell lines stably secreting mAbs against ChIL-4.

Interferons have attracted considerable attention due to their vital roles in the host immune response and low induction of antibiotic resistance. In this study, total RNA was extracted from spleen cells of chicken embryos inoculated with Newcastle disease vaccine, and the full-length chicken interferon-γ (ChIFN-γ) gene was amplified by RT-PCR. The full complementary DNA sequence of the ChIFN-γ gene was 495 bp long and was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pProEX™HT .

The aim of the present work was to develop reagents to set up a chicken interferon-γ (ChIFN-γ) assay. Four monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for ChIFN-γ were generated to establish sandwich ELISA based on 2 different mAbs. To improve the detection sensitivity of ChIFN-γ, a double-monoclonal antibody sandwich ELISA was developed using mAb 3E5 as capture antibody and biotinylated mAb 3E3 as a detection reagent.
