“…In chickens, Pam3CSK4, FSL-1, or LPS induces the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the bursa of Fabricius (Cheng et al, 2014), spleen (Alkie et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017), primary-cultured splenocytes (St. Paul et al, 2013), heterophils (Kogut et al, 2006), thrombocytes (Ferdous and Scott, 2015;Winkler et al, 2017), cecal tonsil cells (Taha-abdelaziz et al, 2016), and the macrophage cell line MQ-NCSU (Barjesteh et al, 2014;Alkie et al, 2017). LPS also induces nuclear factor (NF)-κB, a transcription factor for regulating immune responses, in the bursa of Fabricius (Cheng et al, 2014) but not in thrombocytes (Winkler et al, 2017). In addition to these inflammatory mediators, IL-10, a feedback negative regulator of inflammation, is known to be induced by LPS in macrophage and is detected in serum from the chickens infected with Eimeria tenella (Wu et al, 2016;Qi et al, 2017).…”
