Macrophages Isolated from Chickens Genetically Resistant or Susceptible to Systemic Salmonellosis Show Magnitudinal and Temporal Differential Expression of Cytokines and Chemokines following Salmonella enterica Challenge

Abstract
Macrophages from inbred chickens that are resistant to salmonellosis show greater and more rapid expression of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines, including the key Th1-inducing cytokine interleukin-18, upon Salmonella challenge than those from susceptible birds. This suggests the possibility that salmonellosis resistant-line macrophages signal more effectively and rapidly and are more able to induce protective Th1 adaptive responses.
