Abstract

The strains of the genotype VIId Newcastle disease virus (NDV) induce more severe tissue damage in lymphoid organs than other virulent strains. The underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Genotype IV NDV Herts/33 and genotype VIId NDV JS5/05 have a distinctive pathological profile in the spleen. These two strains of viruses were selected as parental viruses to generate a panel of chimeric viruses by replacing the M, F and HN genes of Herts/33 individually or in combination with the corresponding genes of JS5/05 using reverse genetic. Virulence and in vitro characteristics of the recombinant viruses were assessed. In addition, pathological changes, virus load, and transcriptional cytokine response in the spleen of chickens infected with these recombinant viruses were also analyzed. Pathogenicity test showed that all chimeric viruses are virulent. In vitro characterization revealed that gene replacement did not change growth kinetics and HN expression on cell surface of the recombinant viruses. However, replacement of the M, F and HN genes resulted in apparent changes in the fusion activity. Moreover, pathological studies revealed that only inclusion of the homologous M, F and HN genes of JS5/05 in Herts/33 backbone resulted in severe pathological changes characterized by extensive necrosis in the spleen, similar to that induced by JS5/05. In addition, this gene replacement significantly increased virus replication and the levels of transcriptional cytokine response, compared to Herts/33. Conversely, inclusion of the M, F and HN genes of Herts/33 into JS5/05 backbone resulted in Herts/33-specific pathological changes and significantly decreased virus load and the expression levels of cytokine genes, compared to JS5/05. The M, F and HN genes are related to the severe pathological changes in the spleen of chickens infected with genotype VIId NDV.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 September 2015.
All research outputs
#18,425,370
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from Virology Journal
#2,438
of 3,043 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#192,525
of 267,016 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Virology Journal
#54
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,043 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 25.8. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 267,016 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
