ABSTRACT
Ghaemmagham M, Dadras H, Nazifi S., Effect of virulent newcastle disease virus before and after vaccination
on serum acute phase protein response in Cobb broilers, Onl
J Vet Res., 24(8): 449-457, 2020. Cobb-500 broilers
were given live vaccine virus before or after challenge with virulent Newcastle
disease virus (NDV) to determine serum acute phase protein response. Four
groups of 50 broilers each were given live vaccine at 22 days age (1),
vaccinated at day 22 then challenged with NDV at day 23 of age (2), challenged
with NDV at 23 days age then given vaccine at day 24 (3) or challenged only at
day 23 (4). Controls were not challenged nor vaccinated (5). Blood was taken at
3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72h, 6 and 9 days after first inoculation for serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and ovotransferrin.
Compared with controls, in birds challenged and vaccinated 24h later mean serum
haptoglobolin did not change significantly but
vaccinated 48 later increased ~40% suggesting that delayed vaccination after
challenge may boost this protein. In those vaccinated first and then challenged
24h later, mean serum haptoglobulin increased ~27% but
in those only challenged ~40%. Serum
amyloid A increased ~33% in birds vaccinated first and ~57% in those challenged
first vaccinated 2 days later. In those challenged first but vaccinated only 24h
later SAA did not vary. We found large increases (~81%) in ovotransferrin
(OVT) in birds challenged only with NDV but none in controls or those challenged
first but vaccinated 24h later. Other treatments induced rises of ~50%. Our
results suggested that viral challenge strongly enhances serum acute phase proteins whereas vaccination per se only induced small rises. Vaccination
of the chicks after
natural NDV infection may boost these proteins.
