Determination of the tumor virus b locus in turkish native chicken breeds [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017 Avian leukosis viruses (ALV) are retroviruses that can induce tumors in chicken. Typically, ALV is controlled through husbandry. However, genetic improvement and/or, selective breeding techniques, offer the unique possibility of true resistance.

A metagenomic comparison of endemic viruses from broiler chickens with runting stunting syndrome and from normal birds [PDF]
, 2016 Runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) in broiler chickens is an enteric disease that causes significant economic losses to poultry producers worldwide due to elevated feed conversion ratios, decreased body weight during growth, and excessive culling.

A recombinant avian leukosis virus subgroup j for directly monitoring viral infection and the selection of neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) has induced serious clinical outbreaks and has become a serious infectious disease of chickens in China. We describe here the creation of a recombinant ALV-J tagged with the enhanced green fluorescent protein ...

Immune-Related Gene Expression in Two B-Complex Disparate Genetically Inbred Fayoumi Chicken Lines Following Eimeria maxima Infection [PDF]
, 2008 To investigate the influence of genetic differences in the MHC on susceptibility to avian coccidiosis, M5.1 and M15.2 B-haplotype-disparate Fayoumi chickens were orally infected with live Eimeria maxima oocysts, and BW gain, fecal oocyst production, and ...

Is HIV-1 RNA dimerization a prerequisite for packaging? Yes, no, probably? [PDF]
, 2004 During virus assembly, all retroviruses specifically encapsidate two copies of full-length viral genomic RNA in the form of a non-covalently linked RNA dimer.

The FACT Complex Promotes Avian Leukosis Virus DNA Integration [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2017 ABSTRACTAll retroviruses need to integrate a DNA copy of their genome into the host chromatin. Cellular proteins regulating and targeting lentiviral and gammaretroviral integration in infected cells have been discovered, but the factors that mediate alpharetroviral avian leukosis virus (ALV) integration are unknown.

The Genome of the Chicken DT40 Bursal Lymphoma Cell Line [PDF]
, 2014 The chicken DT40 cell line is a widely used model system in the study of multiple cellular processes due to the efficiency of homologous gene targeting. The cell line was derived from a bursal lymphoma induced by avian leukosis virus infection.

A 19-nucleotide insertion in the leader sequence of avian leukosis virus subgroup J contributes to its replication in vitro but is not related to its pathogenicity in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) was first isolated from meat-type chickens that had developed myeloid leukosis and since 2008, ALV-J infections in chickens have become widespread in China.
