Based on this evidence, the present study was undertaken to evaluate alteration in concentrations of the acute phase proteins [haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA)], pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IFN-γ), and the serum level of total sialic acid (TSA), lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA), and protein-bound sialic acid (PBSA) in experimentally infected chicks by IBV isolate IRFIBV32 compared with healthy chicks. The serum concentrations of IFN-γ, TNF-α, Hp, SAA, TSA, LBSA, and PBSA were increased significantly 2.50, 1.98, 1.82, 3.33, 2.25, 2.44, and 1.77 times, respectively, during experimental infection with IBV in chickens. ./cache/cord-258547-47cyyetb.txt ./txt/cord-258547-47cyyetb.txt
