Project

Chicken mucosal innate immunity against APEC.

Mucins and avian beta-defensins (AvBDs) are components of the innate immunity concerned with the protection of the animal at the mucosal surfaces. The main objective of the study is to analyse the differential expression of selected mucins and AvBDs in the chicken respiratory tract in response to APEC infection.
