However, whether poultry IL-7 has similar functions remains unclear. Chicken IL-7 promoted mouse B cell proliferation in vitro, and significantly reduced virus titer in bursal tissue and chicken morbidity. Mechanically, chIL-7 induced chicken lymphocyte proliferation and interferon-' production, but down-regulated TGF-ß expression. Mammalian interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene can enhance the immunogenicity of DNA vaccine. |
