An Overview on Marek’s Disease Virus Evolution and Evidence for Increased Virulence in Brazil
Marek’s disease virus (MDV) has been shown to be evolving to higher virulence. One of the genetic sites involved in virulence which enables such characterization is the 339-amino acid Meq protein encoding gene (meq).

Identification of bZIP interaction partners of viral proteins HBZ, MEQ, BZLF1, and K-bZIP using coiled-coil arrays [PDF]
Basic-region leucine-zipper transcription factors (bZIPs) contain a segment rich in basic amino acids that can bind DNA, followed by a leucine zipper that can interact with other leucine zippers to form coiled-coil homo- or heterodimers.

Updating of epidemiological and pathological features of Marek's disease in laying hens and broilers
Marek's disease (MD) is a huge problem for researchers due to the significant losses in bird flocks, but more importantly, the virus's mutagenic potential.

Expression levels of MHC class I molecules are inversely correlated with promiscuity of peptide binding. [PDF]
Highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are at the heart of adaptive immune responses, playing crucial roles in many kinds of disease and in vaccination. We report that breadth of peptide presentation and level of cell surface

Metabolomic profiling of Marek’s disease virus infection in host cell based on untargeted LC-MS
Marek’s disease (MD) caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV), poses a serious threat to the poultry industry by inducing neurological disease and malignant lymphoma in infected chickens.

The peptide motif of the single dominantly expressed class I molecule of the chicken MHC can explain the response to a molecular defined vaccine of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) [PDF]
In contrast to typical mammals, the chicken MHC (the BF-BL region of the B locus) has strong genetic associations with resistance and susceptibility to infectious pathogens as well as responses to vaccines.

Marek’s disease (MD) is caused by an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus, a common lymphoproliferative inducing agent usually characterized by mononuclear cellular infiltrates, mostly T-cell lymphomas in various visceral organs and peripheral nerves. The genome is linear and made up of double-stranded DNA molecules of nearly 160–180 kb in size.
