Abstract

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens, which is caused by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). The innate immune response is crucial for antiviral infections and revealing the pathogenic mechanisms of IBV. In this study, we presents an evaluation of interferon (I, II and III IFNs) in renal and tracheal samples from chickens experimentally infected previously vaccinated or not. The results suggest differential expression of chicken interferon, among them type I IFN elaborate a major role in fighting off virus. And vaccine confers greater induction ability of innate immunity thereby vaccination prior infection occurs might be necessary. Above all, we found that IFN-λ also have an effect on IBV infection in trachea besides many other respiratory virus. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of host-virus interactions of IBV with chicken innate immune response mediated by interferon in various groups.
