Abstract

While infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) mainly targets immature B cells and causes T cell infiltration in the bursa of Fabricius (BF) of chickens, the effect of IBDV infection on the properties of T cells and relevant cytokine production in avian gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) remains unknown. Here, we show that while the CD8+ T cell subset is not affected, IBDV infection decreases the percentage of CD4+ T cells in the cecal tonsil (CT), but not in esophagus tonsil, pylorus tonsil, and Meckel's diverticulum of GALTs, in contrast to BF and spleen, in which the proportion of CD4+ cells increases upon IBDV infection. Further, IBDV infection upregulates IFN-γ, IL-10, and the T cell checkpoint receptor LAG-3 mRNA expression in BF. In contrast, in CTs, IBDV infection significantly increases the production of IFN-β and CTLA-4 mRNA, while no significant effect is seen in the case of IFN-γ, IL-10 and LAG-3. Together, our data reveal differential modulation of T cell subsets and proinflammatory cytokine production in different lymphoid tissues during the course of IBDV infection.
