The absence or deficiency of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) activity results in microsatellite instability (MSI) in cancer. The avian leukosis virus (ALV) causes neoplastic disease in chickens. In this study, the status of MMR, MSI, the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected in DF-1 cells after avian leukosis virus subgroup A infection. Flow cytometry analysis results indicated that there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between the control and infected groups. The percentage of cells in S and G2 phases were increased in the infected group. MSI and mutation of MSH2 and MLH1 gene exons were absent in DF-1 cells after infection. Levels of MSH2 and MLH1 mRNA were dramatically increased in DF-1 cells after infection. These results demonstrated that ALV RAV-1 infection may promote the expression of MSH2 and MLH1 genes rather than resulting in gene mutations. Mismatch repair functions were normal and may be have relationships with the arrest of S phase and G2 phase.

Infectious Bursal Disease is a highly contagious, immunosuppressive viral disease of young chicks caused by the Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV). The study was carried out at the National Veterinary Institute (NVI) of Ethiopia to evaluate the competence of the DF-1 cell culture adapted vaccine strain of IBDV as a vaccine candidate. DF-1 cells at passage 27 confluent monolayer was infected with 1 ml of LC-75 vaccine strain virus by adsorption method and recorded as passage 1 (P).

Advanced genetic and nutritional strategies aimed at modulating fat deposition can significantly reduce production costs and enhance profitability in the poultry industry. Melanophilin (MLPH) is recognized as a key gene regulating pigmentation as shown by diluted hair and feather coloration in MLPH mutant animals, including avian models. However, the effects of MLPH during fat accretion have not been studied yet.
