A Comparison of Test Materials for Differentiating Avian Leukosis Virus Group-Specific Antigens of Exogenous and Endogenous Origin

Abstract: Three groups of pullets--those lacking endogenous viral (ev) genes, those carrying ev3, which codes for avian leukosis virus (ALV) group-specific (gs) antigen but not complete virus, and those carrying ev2, which codes for complete endogenous virus--were reared to maturity free of exogenous ALV infection or reared separately after inoculation at 1 day with ALV. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect gs antigen in feather pulp, cloacal swabs, sera, white blood cells, and albumens from … Show more

“…Considering the results of Groups 3 and 5, ELISA-positive birds may have shed not only FGV but also other ALV antigen. In addition, it can be also speculated that the birds may produce GSA derived from endogenous viral genes in their genome and shed it into the cloaca (Crittenden & Smith, 1984).…”

“…However, higher levels of GSA of endogenous origin can be found in feather pulp than in albumen and cloacal swabs (Crittenden & Smith, 1984). It may thus give false-positive results.…”

“…Congenital transmission (via the exogenous route of infection) of complete endogenous ALV, which should give rise to higher titres of endogenous gsa, seems to be restricted by its own gag gene products (Robinson and Eisenman, 1984). Discrimination between ALV-gsa of exogenous or endogenous origin can be pursued by testing serial dilutions of albumen samples as recently described by Crittenden and Smith (1984). We have examined by MCA-DAS-ELISA serial dilutions of a small number of albumen samples collected from three basic breeding flocks.…”
