ABSTRACT
Eye spray influenza vaccines for chickens are increasingly available; however, how to enhance cellular and antibody responses to them remains undetermined. Here, eye-drops containing the immune-enhancing adjuvants Pam2CSK4 or polyIC were assessed in chickens. Application of these TLR agonists to chicken conjunctiva resulted in up-regulation of IL-1ß, but not other cytokines, including IFN and IL-6, in the spleen, lung and Harderian gland. Thus, responses to adjuvant applied to the conjunctival mucosa of chickens differ from those expected from the responses to intra-nasal adjuvants in mammals. Identifying an appropriate delivery route for adjuvants is crucial for evoking immune responses in chickens.
