Why M. avium?
• Avian mycobacteriosis
• Similar to mammalian pathology
• Disseminated disease in HIV patients
• Limited knowledge on the immune processes in poultry
• There are differences between disease process between
mammalian and avian infections
– Progressive disease
• Chickens are easier model for study mycobacterial infection

Early interactions with Macrophages
Phagocytosis
• Production of RNS and ROS
• Attraction of other immune cells
• Granuloma formation

School of Veterinary Medicine and Science
Role of cytokines in mycobacterial infection
 TNF-α
o phagocyte activation
o induction of apoptosis
o formation and maintenance of granuloma
 IFN-γ
o activation of macrophage
o acidification of phagosome
o promotes antigen presentation process
o stimulation of granuloma formation
 iNOS bactericidal mechanism
 IL-1β
o regulation of iNOS production,
o maturation and acidification of phagosome
o expression of adhesion molecules
 CXCl-8
o attraction and activation of many
other immune cells
Mammalian cellular immune response to Mycobacteria
School of Veterinary Medicine and Science
Aims of the project
• To compare the immunological interactions of M. avium
subspecies avium from different human and animal sources
with human and avian infection model.
• To study the role of various MAP kinases in cellular
regulation by M. avium stimulation.
• To determine the cytokine response to M. avium strains
during infection of chickens.

• A cytokine could be differentially regulated by various pathways.

In vivo experiment
Forty eight three week-old commercial chicks
Birds were allocated into 4 groups, twelve birds each in separate rooms
(i.v. inoculation)
Group1
inoculated with
Ma.3 (Low)
Group2
inoculated with
Ma.4 (High)
Three birds from each
group euthanized at the
day of infection and at
7, 14 and 21 days post
infection.

Summary and Conclusion
• There are M. avium strains specific differences in induction of
pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.
• These differences do not appear to relate to source of strains
• The differential response does no correlated with granuloma
formation.
• Multiple signal pathways participate in regulation of the signal
transduction during infection.
• There are several mechanisms of signal transduction depending
upon mycobacterial species, type of cytokine and the type of
cells being studied.
• Our data support the concept of a general similarity between
the immune response to mycobacterial infection in avian
species, humans and mice.
