Primary Lymphoid organs in chicken

o The Bursa of Fabricius (BF) :

• This organ is unique to bird

• Regulates the development of the humoral compartment of the immune system

• Essential for the development of B-cells (≈ bone marrow in mammals) (Ig gene diversification and amplification). Only 5% of the total cell numbers survive to form the mature B-cell population. This minority of cells start to emigrate out of bursa around hatching

o The Thymus :

• Regulates the development of the cellular compartment of the immune system

• Essential for the development of T-cells (mainly TH). In chicken, all T-cells originate in thymus and they emigrate to form the peripheral cell pool

o Bursa of Fabricius and thymus regress with onset of sexual maturity.

Peripheral Lymphoid organs in chicken

o Chickens have no lymph nodes (≈ the primary site of antigen presentation in mammals).

o Spleen : important for antigen processing and antibody production after hatching. After the involution of the thymus and the bursa, spleen becomes as a primary organ, supplier of lymphoid cells for others peripheral organs.

o Others peripheral organs : lymphoid tissues associated to the harderian gland and to the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts

o Day-old chick = fully immunocompetent but not fully immunomature (takes 2 weeks)

Two types of immune responses

o Innate - Natural - Non-specific - Not acquired immunity • Epithelial barriers (skin and mucous membranes)

• Phagocytic cells : granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DTC)

• Natural killer cells (NK )

• Plasma proteins

Very fast, not specific to pathogens and lack of memory

o Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) :

• T-cells : T helpers cells (TH cells, CD4 cells ) and cytotoxic T-cells (CTL, CD8 cells)

• Measured by proliferation tests and cytokines production after specific (ex vivo) recall on lymphocytes

o Mucosal immunity :

• Immunity at mucosal surfaces : major route of entry for many infectious agents into the body : local immunity in the head, the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts

• Local antibody- and cell-mediated immunity = first line of defense against pathogens

• Poorly investigated in poultry so far

• Difficulties and labor-intensiveness of collecting samples

Immune response in chickens

Chickens respond to vaccination or infection by developing humoral, cellular and mucosal immune responses specific to antigens

o Humoral immunity :

• Development of virus specific ELISAs to detect IgG, IgM and IgA specific [Rauw et al., 2009, 2010]

o Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) :

• Tools to measure TH CMI :

• TH1 : ChIFNg production after antigen-specific (ex vivo) recall on lymphocytes :

• In the spleen [Lambrecht et al., 2004, Rauw et al., 2009, 2010]

• In the peripheral blood [Rauw et al., 2010]

• TH2 : ChIL-4 and ChIL-13 production after antigen-specific (ex vivo) recall on lymphocytes : in progress

• Tools to measure CTL : in progress

o Mucosal immunity :

• Tools to measure lachrymal, respiratory and digestive immunity [Rauw et al., 2009, 2010a, 2010b, 2011]

• Reproductive tract : in progress NDV – AIV – IBDV

Transfert of passive immunity in chickens

o Maternal Derived Antibodies (MDA) or Passive Immunity is the naturally transfer of antibodies from immunized breeder hens to the progeny through the egg

o To protect young chicks against pathogens during a period (1-2 weeks and less than 4 weeks) where their immune system is not fully mature.

How MDA are transferred from the hen to the progeny ?

1. MDA transfer from the hen to the egg

• IgG(Y) are secreted by the chicken ovarian into the developing ova or egg yolk

• IgA and IgM are produced locally in the magnum in the oviduct and transfer to the albumen

Transfert of passive immunity in chickens

How MDA are transferred from the hen to the progeny ?

1. MDA transfer from the hen to the egg

2. MDA transfer from the egg to the progeny

IgG(Y) :

Are transferred from the egg yolk to the offspring via the embryonnic circulation

Only IgGs are able to cross the intestinal barrier through the embryonic circulation

The transfer starts from 7 ED and reaches its maximum rate at 17-18 ED (3 to 4 days before hatching)

Research on NDV specific immunity

WHY ?

o By improving immunological parameters and further characterizing the chicken immune response elicited by current ND vaccines, a correlation with clinical protection and shedding reduction could be done

o Good parameters of protection could be established

o Challenge experiments could be reduced

To improve the efficacy of ND vaccination programs

Live vector vaccines

o Definition :

• A live vector vaccine is a vaccine that uses an attenuated virus (vector) to transport pieces of the virus (pathogen) in order to stimulate an immune response against this virus

o Development and production :

• To determine the protective gene to introduce in the virus vector

• To insert the protective gene into the genome of the vector (herpesvirus, poxvirus, adenovirus…)

• To produce the recombinant vector = live vector vaccine

NDV – AIV – IBDV

• To insert the protective gene into the genome of the vector (herpesvirus, poxvirus, adenovirus…)

• To produce the recombinant vector = live vector vaccine

o Validation :

• Being intracellular, live vector vaccine should be able to prime a humoral response, to induce a strong cellular and mucosal immune responses against the inserted gene and strong B & T-cell memory immunity
