Abstract

AbstractIntroduction:Orf virus (ORFV) is a prototypeParapoxvirusspecies in the Poxviridae family that causes serious zoonotic infectious disease. Goat skin fibroblast (GSF) cells are the major host targets of ORFV. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α are known to play a vital role in immune response during viral infections. However, the manner of variation over time of their level of expression in GSF cells remains unclear.Material and Methods:In this study, quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay chips were used to detect changes in the levels of these cytokines expressed and secreted in GSF cells after ORFV infection.Results:Results showed that the expression of IL-8, TNF-α, and decorin was upregulated in the cell lysates, and that secreted decorin and IL-8 were significantly increased in cell supernatant.Conclusion:The results provided possible approaches to elucidation of how ORFV infection initiates host cell immune response.
