Resumo
Background: Infection of IBDV was reported to be endemic in worldwide including Malaysia and can be spread orally thru polluted fodder and water source, thus causing economic losses especially in commercial poultry industry. The infection resulted in depletion of B lymphocytes and subsequently destruction of the bursa which leaded to immunosuppression of the bird and it was postulated that the depletion of cells in the bursa was due to induction of apoptosis. In the current study, the infection of Malaysia isolated very virulent IBDV UPM0081 on IgM bearing B lymphocytes (IgM+ cells) from chicken spleen and bursa was compared. Materials, Methods & Results: A total of sixty eggs were obtained and raised until the age of 3 weeks old. The birds were divided into two groups (n = 30), which one of them served as control while IBDV strain UPM0081 was used to infect another group of birds at the concentration of 103 ELD50. The birds were observed and sacrificed at day 2, 4 and 5 post infections. Spleen and bursa of Fabricius were harvested and subjected to IgM+ cell enrichment using microbeads. The cell viability of enriched cells was assayed using MTT and cell cycle was analyzed using propidium iodide. Annexin V FITC and acridine orange/propidium iodide double stain assays were used to determine the event of apoptosis in the enriched IgM+ cells. Also, the IBDV viral load was also [...](AU)
