| Abstract | γδ T cells are considered crucial to the outcome of various infectious diseases. The present study was undertaken to characterize γδ (T-cell receptor 1+ [TCR1+]) T cells phenotypically and functionally in avian immune response. Day-old chicks were orally immunized with Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis live vaccine or S. enterica serovar Enteritidis wild-type strain and infected using the S. enterica serovar Enteritidis wild-type strain on day 44 of life. Between days 3 and 71, peripheral blood was examined flow cytometrically for the occurrence of γδ T-cell subpopulations differentiated by the expression of T-cell antigens. Three different TCR1+ cell populations were found to display considerable variation regarding CD8α antigen expression: (i) CD8α+high TCR1+ cells, (ii) CD8α+dim TCR1+ cells, and (iii) CD8α− TCR1+ cells. While most of the CD8α+high TCR1+ cells expressed the CD8αβ heterodimeric antigen, the majority of the CD8α+dim TCR1+ cells were found to express the CD8αα homodimeric form. After immunization, a significant increase of CD8αα+high γδ T cells was observed within the CD8α+high TCR1+ cell population. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR revealed reduced interleukin-7 receptor α (IL-7Rα) and Bcl-x expression and elevated IL-2Rα mRNA expression of the CD8αα+high γδ T cells. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a significant increase of CD8α+ and TCR1+ cells in the cecum and spleen and a decreased percentage of CD8β+ T cells in the spleen after Salmonella immunization. After infection of immunized animals, immune reactions were restricted to intestinal tissue. The study showed that Salmonella immunization of very young chicks is accompanied by an increase of CD8αα+high γδ T cells in peripheral blood, which are probably activated, and thus represent an important factor for the development of a protective immune response to Salmonella organisms in chickens. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
