ABSTRACT
Nagaraja TR, Raghu TK, Anand Kumar P,
Mishra SC., Lymphocyte reponse to concanavalin A by muramyl
dipeptide in birds with salmonellosis. Onl J Vet Res., 30
(1): 50-58, 2026., We evaluated intestinal
lymphocyte mitogenic reactivity to concanavalin A during Salmonella
enteritidis in chickens by MTT colorimetric blastogenesis. Compared with controls, proliferation in infected
chicks did not change by 24h or 7 days after infection. However, administration
of muramyl dipeptide boosted (P < 0.01) mitogenesis
of lymphocytes in uninfected and infected chicks by 8 days. Lymphocytes from
uninfected or infected chicks, treated with SE-ILK 24 hr before infection enhanced (P < 0.01) proliferative
response at 48 hr and 8 days PT.
Key words : Intestinal intraepithelial
lymphocytes ; Mitogenic reactivity; lymphokines ; Muramyl dipeptide ;
Salmonella Enteritidis ; chicken
