| Popis: | Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) caused by Infectious Bursal Disease virus (IBDV), poses a significant threat to the poultry industry, causing immunosuppression and economic losses since its discovery in 1957. To understand the host response to IBDV infection, this study examined the modulation of MAP2K3 and IL12B in chickens infected with IBDV. A local IBDV isolate propagated in embryonated chicken eggs was inoculated into 18-day-old chicken. The mRNA transcription levels of MAP2K3 and IL12B in bursal tissue were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction on day two post-infection and compared with those of uninfected, age-matched control birds (sham inoculated). The study revealed increased expression of the MAP2K3 and IL12B genes, indicating their role in inflammatory response during IBDV infection. Thus, the present investigation sheds light on the involvement of MAP2K3 and IL12B in the inflammatory response to IBDV infection in chickens. Keywords: Infectious bursal disease virus, immunosuppression, MAP2K3, IL12B, pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression |
