Induction of host gene expression following infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts with oncogenic Marek's disease virus.
Microarrays containing 1,126 nonredundant cDNAs selected from a chicken activated T-cell expressed sequence tag database (http://chickest.udel.edu) were used to examine changes in host cell gene expression that accompany infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with Marek's disease virus (MDV). Host genes that were reproducibly induced by infection of CEF with the oncogenic RB1B strain of MDV included macrophage inflammatory protein, interferon response factor 1, interferon-inducible protein, quiescence-specific protein, thymic shared antigen 1, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, MHC class II, beta(2)-microglobulin, clusterin, interleukin-13 receptor alpha chain, ovotransferrin, a serine/threonine kinase, and avian leukosis virus subgroup J glycoprotein.
