Abstract:
Four serotype 1 field strains of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and one reference standard serotype 1 strain were tested for their ability to agglutinate peripheral blood lymphocytes of chickens. All the five strains agglutinated chicken lymphocytes. The agglutination was not inhibited by serotype 1 reference anti-IBDV serum. These results suggest the need for detailed analysis of IBDV ligand(s) and cell surface receptor(s) relationships.
