Vaccinia Reporter Viruses for Quantifying Viral Function at All Stages of Gene Expression
Published on: May 15, 2014
Abstract:
Protection against fowlpox develops following vaccination or natural infection. The immune response can be measured for variable times either by challenging immunity of vaccinated birds for protection or by various serologic tests, e.g., viral neutralization, agar gel precipitation, complement fixation, passive hemagglutination, fluorescent antibody, and immunoperoxidase methods. Variation in the antibody response measured by these tests may be due to concentration of antibody present and sensitivity of the test employed. Available information suggests that both humoral and cellular immunity are involved in protection. There is a possibility of persistence of virus in latent infections which also might be responsible for protection.

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
