Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of oral administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain L-55 (LaL-55) to chickens inoculated with a Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-based live-attenuated vaccine by examiningthe mRNA expression of several genes related to viral infection in the spleen and ileum by quantitative reversetranscription polymerase chain reaction. In the spleen, interferon (IFN)-α was significantly higher in the low and middle-dose LaL-55 groups at 6 weeks than at 4 weeks. IFN regulatory factor (IRF)-3 and IRF-7 expressionwas significantly higher in the low-dose LaL-55 group than in the middle and high-dose LaL-55 groups. In theileum, melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 showed a dose-dependent increase at 4 weeks. IFN-γ and IRF-7showed dose-dependent increases at 6 weeks. These results suggested that LaL-55 boosts the immune response tothe NDV vaccine, albeit by different mechanisms in the spleen and ileum
