Characterisation of basal expression of selected cytokines in the liver, spleen, and respiratory, reproductive and intestinal tract of hens

Abstract: ABSTRACT:In this study we investigated the basal expression of chicken IFNγ, IL-18, IL-1β, LITAF, IL-12p35, IL-12p40, iNOS, IL-17, IL-15, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-22 in the ileum, caecum, colon, liver, spleen, lungs, blood and magnum of hens using real time PCR. We show that IL-18, LITAF and IL-15 were highly expressed in most tissues while IL-6 and IL-17 were usually expressed at a low level. IL-17 and IL-22 were expressed mainly in the lungs and intestinal tract and both subunits of IL-12 were produced in the liver… Show more

“…This result also shows that the increase in iNOS expression in different tissues after Salmonella infection [13] [15] can be caused both by its induction in macrophages ( Fig. 3 ) and by an influx of leukocytes from circulation to the site of inflammation, as we proposed earlier based on a high iNOS expression in the blood of healthy adult hens [16] .…”
