Lymphoid leukosis is a neoplastic disease of poultry caused by avian leukosis virus. The disease is characterized by B-cell lymphoma, occurring in chickens approximately 16 weeks of age and older. Standard criteria used for diagnosis include history, clinical signs, gross necropsy, and histopathology. There is no treatment or vaccine available, so eradication of the virus from breeding flocks is the most effective control method.
Avian leukosis virus (ALV) infects mainly chickens but can also infect pheasants, partridges and quail. It belongs to the Alpharetrovirus genus of the family Retroviridae. It is divided into subgroups A, B, C, D, E and J, depending on their viral envelope proteins which determine immune response and host range. The ALV envelope encases a capsid and a single stranded RNA genome.
This Recombinant Avian Leukosis Virus Protein P27, ALV P27 is a recombinant protein prepared in E Coli, which can be used for immunoassays such as ELISA, lateral flow assays, etc. P27 is always used as a universial marker for avian leukosis diagnosis.
