Sci Rep . 2018 Aug; 8(1):12076. PMID: 30104702
Campylobacter jejuni is a leading bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis. Reducing Campylobacter numbers in the intestinal tract of chickens will minimize transmission to humans, thereby reducing the incidence of infection....

Virology . 2018 Jul; 522:56-64. PMID: 30014858
Immunity against Marek's disease (MD), caused by Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), in chickens is mediated by both innate and adaptive responses. The present study evaluated the effects of GaHV-2 infection...

Kulkarni R, Villanueva A, Read L, Brisbin J, Bhaumik S, LaMarre J, et al.
Cell Tissue Res . 2017 May; 369(3):541-554. PMID: 28550425
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells play important roles in antimicrobial defense and immune-regulation. We have previously shown that iNKT cells express certain toll-like receptors (TLR), and that TLR co-stimulation...
