Abstract
Newcastle disease is a global problem that causes huge economic losses and threatens the health and welfare of poultry. Despite the knowledge gained on the metabolic impact of NDV on cells, the extent to which infection modifies the plasma metabolic network in chickens remains unknown. Herein, we performed targeted metabolomic and lipidomic to create a plasma metabolic network map during NDV infection. Meanwhile, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to explore the heterogeneity of lung tissue cells in response to NDV infection in vivo. The results showed that NDV remodeled the plasma phospholipid metabolism network. NDV preferentially targets infected blood endothelial cells, antigen-presenting cells, fibroblasts, and neutrophils in lung tissue. Importantly, NDV may directly regulate ribosome protein transcription to facilitate efficient viral protein translation. In conclusion, NDV infection remodels the plasma phospholipid metabolism network in chickens. This work provides valuable insights to further understand the pathogenesis of NDV.

Effects of dietary supplementation of Vitamins E and C on oxidative stress induced by a Nigerian velogenic strain of the Newcastle disease virus (KUDU 113) in the brain and bursa of Fabricius of broiler chickens. Vet World 2021; 14:2452-2461. [PMID: 34840466 PMCID: PMC8613796 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2021.2452-2461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim: Newcastle disease (ND) is widely recognized as an extremely harmful and contagious disease of birds. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effect of oxidative stress induced by the virulent ND virus (NDV) (KUDU 113) on the plasma, brain, bursa of Fabricius, NDV antibody response, and hematology as well as the ameliorative effect of the individual or combined use of Vitamins E and C on the clinical signs of NDV-infected chickens. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 150 broiler chickens were included and divided into five groups: Group 1, nonsupplemented and unchallenged chickens (UCC); Group 2, nonsupplemented and challenged chickens (ICC); Group 3, Vitamin C-supplemented + challenged chickens; Group 4, Vitamin E-supplemented + challenged chickens; and Group 5, Vitamins E and C-supplemented + challenged chickens. Groups 3, 4, and 5 were supplemented with Vitamins E and C (33 and 400 mg/kg/day, respectively). Virus challenge was done with 0.1 ml of KUDU 113 7 days after the start of vitamin inclusion in their diet. Concentrations of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) were analyzed in the plasma, brain, and bursa on days 0, 3, and 7 post-infection (pi) using the biochemical method. The blood samples were randomly collected from five chickens in each group for antibody response and hematological analyses on day 0 previtamin treatment and at 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days pi (dpi). Results: A significant increase in the concentrations of MDA and NO in the NDV-challenged chickens was observed when compared with the UCCs. Moreover, a significant decrease in GSH concentration was observed in the NDV-challenged chickens when compared with the UCCs. The activities of CAT and SOD were reduced markedly in the NDV-challenged chickens. Increases in the mean antibody titers were observed in the NDV-challenged group when compared with the UCCs from days 3 to 21 pi. The mortality rates of groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 0%, 30%, 3.3%, 3.3%, and 26.6%, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that KUDU 113 causes oxidative stress in the brain and bursa of Fabricius of chickens. Individual supplementation with Vitamin E or C was found to be more effective in ameliorating oxidative stress, improving the immune response, and reducing mortality in KUDU 113 infections than the combined supplementation of Vitamins C and E.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Inhibitory Effects of Lentogenic Newcastle Disease Virus on Cell Survival and Immune Function in Spleen of Commercial Layer Chicks. Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:genes11091003.

Abstract
As a major infectious disease in chickens, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes considerable economic losses in the poultry industry, especially in developing countries where there is limited access to effective vaccination. Therefore, enhancing resistance to the virus in commercial chickens through breeding is a promising way to promote poultry production. In this study, we investigated gene expression changes at 2 and 6 days post inoculation (dpi) at day 21 with a lentogenic NDV in a commercial egg-laying chicken hybrid using RNA sequencing analysis. By comparing NDV-challenged and non-challenged groups, 526 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05) were identified at 2 dpi, and only 36 at 6 dpi. For the DEGs at 2 dpi, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis predicted inhibition of multiple signaling pathways in response to NDV that regulate immune cell development and activity, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis. Up-regulation of interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 (IFIT5) in response to NDV was consistent between the current and most previous studies. Sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 1 (SPRY1), a DEG in the current study, is in a significant quantitative trait locus associated with virus load at 6 dpi in the same population. These identified pathways and DEGs provide potential targets to further study breeding strategy to enhance NDV resistance in chickens.

Abstract
Reactive species (RS), generally known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), are produced during regular metabolism in the host and are required for many cellular processes such as cytokine transcription, immunomodulation, ion transport, and apoptosis. Intriguingly, both RNS and ROS are commonly triggered by the pathogenic viruses and are famous for their dual roles in the clearance of viruses and pathological implications. Uncontrolled production of reactive species results in oxidative stress and causes damage in proteins, lipids, DNA, and cellular structures. In this review, we describe the production of RS, their detoxification by a cellular antioxidant system, and how these RS damage the proteins, lipids, and DNA. Given the widespread importance of RS in avian viral diseases, oxidative stress pathways are of utmost importance for targeted therapeutics. Therefore, a special focus is provided on avian virus-mediated oxidative stresses. Finally, future research perspectives are discussed on the exploitation of these pathways to treat viral diseases of poultry.

Abstract
The discovery of tumour selective virus-mediated apoptosis marked the birth of an alternative cancer treatment in the form of oncolytic viruses. Even though, its oncolytic efficiency was demonstrated more than 50 years ago, safety concerns which resulted from mild to lethal side effects hampered the progress of oncolytic virus research. Since the classical oncolytic virus studies rely heavily on its natural oncolytic ability, virus manipulation was limited, thereby, restricted efforts to improve its safety. In order to circumvent such restriction, experiments involving non-human viruses such as the avian Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was conducted using cultured cells, animal models and human subjects. The corresponding reports on its significant tumour cytotoxicity along with impressive safety profile initiated immense research interest in the field of oncolytic NDV. The varying degree of oncolytic efficiency and virulency among NDV strains encouraged researchers from all around the world to experiment with their respective local NDV isolates in order to develop an oncolytic virus with desirable characteristics. Such desirable features include high tumour-killing ability, selectivity and low systemic cytotoxicity. The Malaysian field outbreak isolate, NDV strain AF2240, also currently, receives significant research attention. Apart from its high cytotoxicity against tumour cells, this strain also provided fundamental insight into NDV-mediated apoptosis mechanism which involves Bax protein recruitment as well as death receptor engagement. Studies on its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in tumour cells also resulted in a proposed p38 MAPK/NF-κB/IκBα pathway. The immunogenicity of AF2240 was also investigated through PBMC stimulation and macrophage infection. In addition, the enhanced oncolytic ability of this strain under hypoxic condition signifies its dynamic tumour tropism. This review is aimed to introduce and discuss the aforementioned details of the oncolytic AF2240 strain along with its current challenges which outlines the future research direction of this virus.

Abstract
The intestinal intraepithelial natural killer cells (IEL-NK) are among the earliest effectors of antiviral immunity in chicken. Unfortunately, their role during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection remains obscure. Previous study has reported the development of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) known as 28-4, which is specifically directed against the CD3- IEL-NK cells. In the present study, we used this mAb to investigate the effects of velogenic and lentogenic NDV infection on avian IEL-NK cells. Our findings revealed that chickens infected with velogenic NDV strains have a reduced population of purified CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells as determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, the CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells from chicken infected with velogenic NDV strains were shown to have a downregulated expression of activating receptors (CD69 and B-Lec), effector peptide (NK-LYSIN), and IFN gamma. On the contrary, the expression of the inhibitory receptor (B-NK) and bifunctional receptor (CHIR-AB1) were upregulated on these purified CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells following velogenic NDV infection. Meanwhile, the lentogenic NDV demonstrated insignificant effects on both the total population of CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells and the expression of their surface receptors. In addition, using real-time PCR and transmission electron microscopy, we showed that CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells were susceptible to velogenic but not lentogenic NDV infection. These findings put together demonstrate the ability of different strains of NDV to manipulate the activating and inhibitory receptors of CD3-/28-4+ IEL-NK cells following infection. Further studies are, however, required to ascertain the functional importance of these findings during virulent or avirulent NDV infection.

Abstract
Enhancing genetic resistance of chickens to Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) provides a promising way to improve poultry health, and to alleviate poverty and food insecurity in developing countries. In this study, two inbred chicken lines with different responses to NDV, Fayoumi and Leghorn, were challenged with LaSota NDV strain at 21 days of age. Through transcriptome analysis, gene expression in spleen at 2 and 6 days post-inoculation was compared between NDV-infected and control groups, as well as between chicken lines. At a false discovery rate <0.05, Fayoumi chickens, which are relatively more resistant to NDV, showed fewer differentially expressed genes (DEGs) than Leghorn chickens. Several interferon-stimulated genes were identified as important DEGs regulating immune response to NDV in chicken. Pathways predicted by IPA analysis, such as "EIF-signaling", "actin cytoskeleton organization nitric oxide production" and "coagulation system" may contribute to resistance to NDV in Fayoumi chickens. The identified DEGs and predicted pathways may contribute to differential responses to NDV between the two chicken lines and provide potential targets for breeding chickens that are more resistant to NDV.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is the causative agent of Newcastle disease, which is characterized by inflammatory pathological changes in the organs of chickens. The inflammatory response to this disease has not been well characterized. Previous reports showed that the sphingosine-1-phosphate-1 receptor (S1PR1), a G protein-coupled receptor, is important to the activation of inflammatory responses. To understand better the viral pathogenesis and host inflammatory response, we analyzed S1PR1 expression during NDV infection. We observed a direct correlation between chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cellular inflammatory responses and S1PR1 expression. Virulent NDV-infected CEF cells also had elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18). When S1PR1 was inhibited by using the specific antagonist W146, pro-inflammatory cytokine production declined. Overexpression of S1PR1 resulted in increased virus-induced IL-1β production. S1PR1 expression levels did not impact significantly NDV replication. These findings highlight the important role of S1PR1 in inflammatory responses in NDV infection.

Abstract
Characteristic clinical manifestations of Newcastle disease include leukopenia and immunosuppression. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are the main targets of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection. To survey changes in proteomic expression in chicken PBMCs following NDV infection, PBMC proteins from 30 chickens were separated using two- dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. Quantitative intensity analysis showed that the expression of 78 proteins increased more than two-fold. Thirty-five proteins exhibited consistent changes in expression and 13 were identified as unique proteins by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer including three that were down-regulated and 10 that were up-regulated. These proteins were sorted into five groups based on function: macromolecular biosynthesis, cytoskeleton organization, metabolism, stress responses, and signal transduction. Furthermore, Western blot analysis confirmed the down-regulation of integrin-linked kinase expression and up-regulation of lamin A production. These data provide insight into the in vivo response of target cells to NDV infection at the molecular level. Additionally, results from this study have helped elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of NDV and may facilitate the development of new antiviral therapies as well as innovative diagnostic methods.

Abstract
Mycoplasma synoviae and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) are 2 avian pathogens that cause modulation in expression of a variety of cytokine and chemokine genes in chickens. However, there is limited data about gene modulation after coinfection with these 2 pathogens and even less data about gene modulation after infection of chicken embryos. In this study, the effect of M. synoviae type strain WVU 1853 and lentogenic LaSota vaccine strain of NDV infection on cytokine and chemokine gene expression in chicken embryos was analyzed in the liver, spleen, bursa of Fabricius, and thymus by using quantitative real-time PCR. Three types of infection were performed; infection with M. synoviae on d 10, infection with NDV on d 17; and consecutive infection with both pathogens, where M. synoviae was inoculated on d 10 and NDV on d 17. Thus, simulation of consecutive infection that may occur after NDV infection of the M. synoviae-infected host was performed. Mycoplasma synoviae infection of embryos resulted in intensive upregulation of cytokine and chemokine genes, including interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p40, IL-16, IL-18, MIP-1β (CCL4), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), XCL1, and lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-α factor (LITAF), with different expression profiles in the 4 organs. Inoculation of lentogenic NDV significantly upregulated IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-16 genes in spleen and IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-16, IL-21, XCL1, and MIP-1β (CCL4) genes in the thymus, but to a lesser extent than M. synoviae. However, no genes were upregulated by NDV in the liver and bursa of Fabricius. Overall effect of NDV inoculation, regarding the number of modulated cytokine and chemokine genes and the extent of expression, was lower than M. synoviae. When NDV was introduced after on-going M. synoviae infection, most M. synoviae-induced cytokine and chemokine genes were significantly downregulated. This study provides the first evidence in chicken embryos that consecutive infection with NDV could suppress expression of cytokine and chemokine genes being significantly upregulated by the previous M. synoviae infection.

Abstract
Newcastle disease (ND) remains a constant threat to poultry producers worldwide, in spite of the availability and global employment of ND vaccinations since the 1950s. Strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) belong to the order Mononegavirales, family Paramyxoviridae, and genus Avulavirus, are contained in one serotype and are also known as avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 (APMV-1). They are pleomorphic in shape and are single-stranded, non-segmented, negative sense RNA viruses. The virus has been reported to infect most orders of birds and thus has a wide host range. Isolates are characterized by virulence in chickens and the presence of basic amino acids at the fusion protein cleavage site. Low virulent NDV typically produce subclinical disease with some morbidity, whereas virulent isolates can result in rapid, high mortality of birds. Virulent NDV are listed pathogens that require immediate notification to the Office of International Epizootics and outbreaks typically result in trade embargos. Protection against NDV is through the use of vaccines generated with low virulent NDV strains. Immunity is derived from neutralizing antibodies formed against the viral hemagglutinin and fusion glycoproteins, which are responsible for attachment and spread of the virus. However, new techniques and technologies have also allowed for more in depth analysis of the innate and cell-mediated immunity of poultry to NDV. Gene profiling experiments have led to the discovery of novel host genes modulated immediately after infection. Differences in virus virulence alter host gene response patterns have been demonstrated. Furthermore, the timing and contributions of cell-mediated immune responses appear to decrease disease and transmission potential. In view of recent reports of vaccine failure from many countries on the ability of classical NDV vaccines to stop spread of disease, renewed interest in a more complete understanding of the global immune response of poultry to NDV will be critical to developing new control strategies and intervention programs for the future.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) exerts its naturally occurring oncolysis possibly through the induction of apoptosis. We hypothesized that the binding of the virus to the cell via the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoprotein may be sufficient to not only induce apoptosis but to induce a higher apoptosis level than the parental NDV AF2240 virus. NDV AF2240 induction of apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was analyzed and quantified. In addition, the complete HN gene of NDV strain AF2240 was amplified, sequenced and cloned into the pDisplay eukaryotic expression vector. HN gene expression was first detected at the cell surface membrane of the transfected MCF-7 cells. HN induction of apoptosis in transfected MCF-7 cells was analyzed and quantified. The expression of the HN gene alone was able to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells but it was a less potent apoptosis inducer compared to the parental NDV AF2240 strain. In conclusion, the NDV AF2240 strain is a more suitable antitumor candidate agent than its recombinant HN gene unless the latter is further improved by additional modifications.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian paramyxovirus that causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. There is limited knowledge about the avian immune response to infection with virulent NDVs, and how this response may contribute to disease. In this study, pathogenesis and the transcriptional host response of chickens to a virulent NDV strain that rapidly causes 100% mortality was characterized. Using microarrays, a strong transcriptional host response was observed in spleens at early times after infection with the induction of groups of genes involved in innate antiviral and pro-inflammatory responses. There were multiple genes induced at 48 h post-infection including: type I and II interferons (IFNs), several cytokines and chemokines, IFN effectors and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The increased transcription of nitric oxide synthase was confirmed by immunohistochemistry for iNOS in spleens and measured levels of nitric oxide in serum. In vitro experiments showed strong induction of the key host response genes, alpha IFN, beta interferon, and interleukin 1β and interleukin 6, in splenic leukocytes at 6 h post-infection in comparison to a non-virulent NDV. The robust host response to virulent NDV, in conjunction with severe pathological damage observed, is somewhat surprising considering that all NDV encode a gene, V, which functions as a suppressor of class I IFNs. Taken together, these results suggest that the host response itself may contribute to the pathogenesis of this highly virulent strain in chickens.

Abstract
Newcastle disease is an important viral infectious disease caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which leads to severe economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. The molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of NDV and the host-directed antiviral responses remain poorly understood. In this study, we screened and identified the differentially expressed transcripts from chicken spleen 36 h post NDV infection using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). From the SSH library, we obtained 140 significant differentially expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which could be divided into three categories: high homology genes (58), high homology ESTs (62) and novel ESTs (20). The 58 high homology genes could be grouped into nine clusters based on the best known function of their protein products, which involved signalling transduction (HSPC166, PDE7B, GRIA4, GARNL1), transcriptional regulation (ANP32A, LOC423724, SATB1, QKI, ETV6), cellular molecular dynamics (MYLK, MYO7A, DCTN6), cytoskeleton (LAMA4, LAMC1, COL4A1), stress response (DNAJC15, CIRBP), immune response (TIA1, TOX, CMIP), metabolism (RPS15A, RPL32, GLUT8, CYPR21, DPYD, LOC417295), oxidation-reduction (TXN, MSRB3, GCLC), and others. In addition, we found that the 20 novel ESTs provide a clue for the discovery of some new genes associated with infection. In summary, our findings demonstrate previously unrecognized changes in gene transcription that are associated with NDV infection in vivo, and many differentially expressed genes identified in the study clearly merit further investigation. Our data provide new insights into better understanding the molecular mechanism of host-NDV interaction.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV), an avian paramyxovirus, induces apoptosis in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells. In the present investigation, the ability of haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of NDV to cause apoptosis in CEF cells was examined. The results revealed that cells expressing the HN protein demonstrated decreased DNA content, phosphatidylserine exposure and increased cytoplasmic vacuolation. Up-regulation of caspase-1, -9, -8, -3, loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and an increase in oxidative stress were also observed in cells expressing the HN protein. Based on the above results it can be concluded that HN protein of NDV causes apoptosis in CEF cells.

Abstract
Rat peritoneal macrophages were induced to produce high amounts of nitric oxide (NO) when rats were challenged by MTH68/H, (a live attenuated oncolytic Newcastle disease virus strain). The increase in NO production was observed to be viral particle dose dependent. The higher NO production measured could be due to the enhanced expression of NO synthase II enzyme. In addition, viral administration caused a higher macrophage cell count in the peritoneal cavity of treated rats. Interleukin-1 and granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factors were also produced by the induced macrophages. COS 7, a transformed cell line was killed by both NO donors and activated macrophages; the latter effect was markedly decreased in the presence of the inhibitors of NO production. Cytotoxic effect of NO was evidenced by the decrease of cell viability and proliferation of COS 7 cells. Excessive NO production may also be cytotoxic for macrophages themselves as proved by the addition of exogenous NO donors. These results strongly suggested the participation of induced NO synthesis of macrophages in the anti-tumor effect of MTH-68/H vaccine treatment.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is classified as a member of the superfamily Mononegavirales in the family Paramyxoviridae. This virus family is divided into two subfamilies, the Paramyxovirinae and the Pneumovirinae. In 1993 the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses rearranged the order of the Paramyxovirus genus and placed NDV within the Rubulavirus genus among the Paramyxovirinae. The enveloped virus has a negative sense single-stranded RNA genome of 15,186 kb which codes for an RNA directed RNA polymerase, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein, fusion protein, matrix protein, phosphoprotein and nucleoprotein in the 5' to 3' direction. The virus has a wide host range with most orders of birds reported to have been infected by NDV. Isolates are characterized by virulence in chickens and are categorized into three main pathotypes depending on severity of disease. Lentogenic isolates are of low virulence while viruses of intermediate virulence are termed mesogenic. Highly virulent viruses that cause high mortality in birds are termed neurotropic or viscerotropic velogenic. Velogenic NDV are List A pathogens that require reporting to the Office of International Epizootics and outbreaks result in strict trade embargoes. The primary molecular determinant for NDV pathogenicity is the fusion protein cleavage site amino acid sequence. Vaccination for NDV is primarily by mass application of live-virus vaccines among commercial poultry. Although protection is measured by presence of antibodies to NDV, vaccinated B-cell depleted chickens are resistant to disease. Consequently, immune protection involves responses that are presently incompletely defined.

Abstract
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was found to stain cytoplasmic granules of avian heterophilgranulocytes. In tissue sections, the fluorescent granulocytes were predominantly distributed adjacent to trabecular bones. The fluorescein stained granulocytes were abundant in synovial fluids of chickens with synovitis. A significant correlation was observed in the percent of fluorescein labeled granulocytes in blood smears and the percent of heterophils determined using an automated counting method, in unstained blood from normal and Escherichia coli-infected turkeys. The fluorescein-binding heterophils purified from chickens showed a time dependent increases in the oxidation of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) and the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) which were indicative of changes in oxidative burst in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and zymosan A (ZA). These heterophil-activating agents, also, caused significant degranulation at 16 h post-treatment, as indicated by the loss fluorescence. There were microscopically visible alterations in the cell shapes and a decrease in the density of granules due to treatment with LPS, PMA or ZA. In addition, these cells also showed phagocytic response which was evident at 30 min of incubation with fluorescent latex particles. Both chicken and turkey heterophils produced interleukin-6 in vitro at 24 h in response to LPS but not to PMA, FMLP or ZA. The chicken heterophils showed spontaneous production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) which was significantly enhanced by treatment with LPS, PMA, and ZA; however, LPS appeared to be most effective in inducing MMP production. These results demonstrate that the functions of heterophils can be differentially regulated by different activating agents and the fluorescein binding property of these cells may be useful for their histochemical identification.

Chicken heterophils are known to lack myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. In this paper, evidence is presented to show that chicken heterophils and adherent cells contain a DNA sequence that is homologous to segment 10 of the human MPO gene; histochemical staining and microplate assay also show that heterophils and adherent cells contain MPO activity.

Abstract
Two-week-old specific pathogen-free chickens were infected with the infectious bursal disease virus by the ocular route. Immediately, and at 4 and 8 days after infection, groups of three chickens were killed and tissue samples were collected. Under electron microscopical examination, typical apoptotic cells were seen in the bursa of Fabricius (BF) and in the spleen. Tissue sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin were subjected to image analysis to quantify cellular depletion in the follicles of the BF. Unstained sections were treated with a terminal deoxy-transferase-based kit to detect apoptotic cells. The numbers of apoptotic cells at different stages of infection were counted by image analysis. The results revealed a rapid depletion of cells in the BF and a simultaneous increase in apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Chicken macrophages were isolated from chicken peripheral blood, cultured in vitro, and infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) after reaching semiconfluence. Infected macrophages supported the growth and replication of NDV. Virus-infected macrophages exhibited features of apoptosis as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, thymidine release assays and flow cytometry. Electron microscopical examination also showed the appearance of intact virus particles, fragmented chromatin and apoptotic bodies. This evidence demonstrates that NDV infection of chicken macrophages causes chicken macrophages to undergo apoptosis.
