“…It is important to consider that the kinetics and dynamics of basophils in chickens are completely different from those of mammals, these cells have phagocytic properties not found in rodents. 40 This is a classical method to evaluate the activity of T lymphocyte in chickens, 25e27,40,41 since specific monoclonal antibodies subsets against chicken immune cells are available in the market, impairing the use of more specific methods of immune cell counting such as flow cytometry and immuno-histochemistry. The subcutaneous injection of phytohemaglutinin leads to the increase of local skin thickness, peaking at 12 h post challenge.…”

Development of broiler chickens after treatment with thymulin 5cH: a zoo technical approach

Modulation of immune response due to thymulin 5cH has been previously observed. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the development of broiler chickens treated with thymulin 5cH by conventional zoo technical indices, phytohemaglutinin induced inflammation test and histomorphometric analysis of lymphoid organs (thymus, Fabricius bursa and spleen). Animals were divided in two groups: (a) test: birds with free access to thymulin 5cH diluted into the drink water and (b) control: birds with free access to water only, from the 1st to the 42nd day of life. All experimental procedures were done in blind. The results show that thymulin 5cH treated group had increased productivity index compared to control (391.45 versus 261.93) associated with higher viability in the 7th week (p = 0.013), and a possible shunt to B lymphocyte activity. The data suggest that thymulin 5cH could be a viable method to improve productivity in poultry production due to its immune modulation properties.

The results suggest that migrating EAC have a role as both antigen-transporting cell and antigen-presenting cell in the T- and B-dependent areas, as a result of which migrating EAC is transiently found in periellipsoidal white pulp, then periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths, and finally germinal centers, where it may function as an interdigitating cell or as a follicular dendritic cell, depending on its location. Thus, we conclude that the EACs are precursors of both interdigitating and follicular dendritic cells.

Ascites Formation in the Chicken

We have observed the rapid development (4 to 7 hr after injection) of an ascitic condition in the hepatoperitoneal sac after the i.v. injection of large amounts of carbon. The amount of ascitic fluid varied from .5 to 12 ml/chicken. The protein content of the fluid was identical with that of the sera, but the specific IgM immunoglobulin was lower in the ascitic fluid than in the sera. The cellularity of the ascitic fluid was poor. Mononuclear cells containing lipid and phagosomes and aggregated thrombocytes were the predominant cells. A mechanism regulating water balance between the liver and cecal pouch was suggested by the ascitic fluid data.
