GH inhibits ALV-J replication and restricts cell cycle by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. [PDF]
Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in growth, sexual maturity, and immunity in chickens. Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) is an exogenous tumorigenic retrovirus that primarily induces immunosuppression, growth retardation, decreased egg production, tumors formation, and even death in chickens.

3'UTR of ALV-J can affect viral replication through promoting transcription and mRNA nuclear export. [PDF]
ABSTRACT 3′ Untranslated regions (3′UTRs) play a crucial role in gene transcription and post-transcriptional regulation. During the past 30 years, subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) had accumulated large-scale mutations in 3′UTRs of their proviral genome. In this study, we summarize five kinds of mutant 3′UTRs in ALV-J and analyzed their

Novel Function of Avian p53 in Binding to ALV-J LTR Contributes to Its Antiviral Roles. [PDF]
Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)/ALV was the first retrovirus to be discovered, which was really the first hint that cancer, or a tumor, could be transmitted by a virus. The specific mechanisms that regulate ALV replication during infection remain poorly understood.

Acquiring Resistance Against a Retroviral Infection via CRISPR/Cas9 Targeted Genome Editing in a Commercial Chicken Line [PDF]
Genome editing technology provides new possibilities for animal breeding and aid in understanding host-pathogen interactions. In poultry, retroviruses display one of the most difficult pathogens to control by conventional strategies such as vaccinations.

Avian Leukosis Virus Type J (ALV-J) in the Czech Republic [PDF]
The paper describes the first occurrence of myelocytomatosis in the Czech Republic. A group of hens from the breeding flocks of the meat type aged 27 and 50 weeks with increased mortality and tumorous disease occurrence was examined. Necropsy and pathohistology proved myelocytomatosis. The presence of the ALV subtype J virus was proved using PCR.

Deciphering Immune Modulation in Chickens Co-Infected with ALV-J and CIAV: A Transcriptomic Approach. [PDF]
Viral co-infections pose significant challenges, causing substantial economic losses worldwide in the poultry industry. Among these, avian lLeukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) and chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) are particularly concerning, as they frequently lead to co-infections in chickens, further compromising their immune defenses, increasing

Phylogenetic Analysis of ALV-J Associated with Immune Responses in Yellow Chicken Flocks in South China. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to better understand the sequence characteristics and immune responses in avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV‐J) infected yellow chicken flocks in South China. We isolated four strains of ALV‐J virus from these flocks, which were then identified by several methods, including subtype‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

dPRLR causes differences in immune responses between early and late feathering chickens after ALV-J infection. [PDF]
AbstractTo understand the differences in immune responses between early feathering (EF) and late feathering (LF) chickens after infection with avian leukosis virus, subgroup J (ALV-J), we monitored the levels of prolactin, growth hormone and the immunoglobulins IgG and IgM in the serum of LF and EF chickens for 8 weeks.
