Localization and expression of C1QTNF6 in chicken follicles and its regulatory effect on follicular granulosa cells by Chong Li, Qi Li, Xing Wu, Zihao Zhang, Jing Li, Ruirui Jiang, Guoxi Li, Xiaojun Liu, Xiangtao Kang, Zhuanjian Li, Donghua Li, Yadong Tian

“…We demonstrated that the putative C1QTNF6 protein shares a highly conserved amino acid sequence with known bird homologs. Using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we observed that C1QTNF6 is widely expressed in adult chicken follicle tissues, predominantly in granulosa cells (GCs). …”

Deletion of pagL and arnT genes involved in LPS structure and charge modulation in the Salmonella genome confer reduced endotoxicity and retained efficient protection against wild-... by Ram Prasad Aganja, Jun Kwon, Amal Senevirathne, John Hwa Lee

“…However, the immunisation significantly increased antigen-specific IgY, sIgA secretion, and CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses while inducing lower pro-inflammatory cytokine levels than SG9R. Histopathological evaluations revealed substantial protection in the immunised birds, with minimal tissue damage and inflammatory responses, thus reducing the in vivo bacterial burden. …”

Molecular-genetic bases of plumage coloring in chicken by A. V. Makarova, O. V. Mitrofanova, A. B. Vakhrameev, N. V. Dementeva

“…The process of melano-genesis involves many loci, part of the complex expression of plumage color genes. In birds, the solid black color locus encodes the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), mutations in which lead to a change in receptor activation and form different variants of the E locus. …”

Uropygial gland microbiota of nearctic−neotropical migrants vary with season and migration distance by Leanne A. Grieves, Gregory B. Gloor

“…Hypothesizing that temporal, geographic, and taxonomic effects influence host microbiota, we evaluated the effects of season, migration distance, and taxonomy on the uropygial gland microbiota of 18 passerine species from 11 families. By sampling 473 birds at a single stopover location during spring and fall migration and using 16S rRNA sequencing, we demonstrate that season, followed by migration distance, had the strongest influence on uropygial gland microbial community composition. …”
