The fowl typhoid is a systemic disease of chickens caused by Salmonella enteric subsp. enteric serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum. This bacterium is highly pathogenic for chickens at any age, causing mortality even in adult birds. The progress of clinical signs differs among different lines of chickens. White lines of chickens are considered resistant and hardly mortality is observed. Chickens of brown lines are more susceptible and develop severe clinical signs with high mortality rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of the disease and γδ T cells influx during the infection with SG in different varieties of layer-hens. In this study, 50 commercial layer-hens of white lines were used and 60 commercial layer-hens of brown lines were divided into 4 groups: group A (control for white layers), group B (infected white layers), group C (control for brown layers) and group D (infected brown layers). Chickens in groups B and D were challenged at 30 days-old with SG. At 6 hours post-infection (6 hpi) and 1, 3 and 5 days post-infection (dpi), three hens per group were sacrificed for sampling. The population of γδ T cells was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in caecal tonsils and liver; cytokines were quantified by real time RT-qPCR in caecal tonsils and spleen and samples of serum were used for biochemistry analysis. The macroscopic lesions were more intense in the hens of group D, at 3 dpi, in comparation with the group B. The bacterial numbers in spleen and liver from chickens in the group D were higher at 3 and 5 dpi. After 6 dpi, the mortality caused by fowl typhoid, began in group D. Differently, group B had no mortality. The group B had higher amounts of the proteins ceruloplasmin, albumin and α1- acid glycoprotein, in comparation to group D, but did not show statistical difference (p>0.05). The protein levels PM=99.000 Da, PM=90.000 Da and transferrin were significantly higher in group B (p<0.05) at ...
