Objective: In order to get a rapid specific diagnostic reagent for subgroup A Avian Leukosis Virus detection.

Methods: The Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup A (ALV-A) SDAU09E1 strain was inoculated into DF1 cells, an ALV-A- gp85 DNA fragment of 1023 bp was amplified from infected cells and inserted into PET-32a(+) plasmid at the location between restriction endonucleases BamH I and Not I sites. The recombinant plasmid PET-SDAU09E1 -gp85 was transformed into E coli. BL21 (Rosetta) for gp85 gene expression. Then we used the purified recombinant fusion protein to immunize 6 weeks old Kunming white mice, and the antiserum were prepared.

Results: The recombinant ALV-A gp85 fusion protein with a molecular weight of 52.8 kDa demonstrated a good antigenecity. Mon-specific serum produced by vaccinated mice came out reactive with subgroups A and B ALV (ALV-A and ALV-B but not subgroup J ALV) by the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) method.

Conclusion: This was the first time to demonstrate a mono-specific antiserum specific to ALV-A and ALV-B, it could be used for differential diagnosis of exogenous ALV infections in CEF cultures when in complement with ALV-J specific monoclonal antibodies. Chickens in our country are now distressed by both classic ALV-A/B and emerging ALV-J, making differential diagnosis necessary, so studying this reagent has high practical value.

MHC B2 haplotype chickens have been reported to induce strong immune response against various avian pathogens. However, little is known about the CD8T-cell epitope with MHC B2-restricted on subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J). In this study, we explored the ALV-J-induced cellular immune response in B2 haplotype chickens in vivo.

Unlabelled: In poultry, fowl adenovirus (FAdV) and co-infected viruses (such as avian hepatitis E virus, aHEV) are likely to cause decreased egg production, inclusion body hepatitis, and pericardial effusion syndrome. From July to September 2023, eight poultry farms of commercial broilers and commercial layers suffered from increased mortality, decreased egg production, and the presence of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome-like gross lesions in Shaanxi province, China. To determine the source of the infection, the viruses of aHEV, FAdV, avian leukosis virus (ALV), Marek's disease virus (MDV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) were detected.

In the realm of poultry production, viral superinfections pose significant challenges, causing substantial economic losses worldwide. Among these, avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) and infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) are particularly concerning as they frequently lead to superinfections in chicken, further exacerbating production losses and health complications. Our previous research delved into the pathogenicity and immunosuppressive effects of these superinfections through in vitro and in vivo analyses.

Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in growth, sexual maturity, and immunity in chickens. Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) is an exogenous tumorigenic retrovirus that primarily induces immunosuppression, growth retardation, decreased egg production, tumors formation, and even death in chickens. Previous studies have suggested that GH is involved in the regulation of innate immunity and inflammation.
