CpG-ODN induced antimicrobial immunity in neonatal chicks involves a substantial shift in serum metabolic profiles
Abstract Synthetic CpG-ODNs can promote antimicrobial immunity in neonatal chicks by enriching immune compartments and activating immune cells. Activated immune cells undergo profound metabolic changes to meet cellular biosynthesis and energy demands and facilitate the signaling processes. We hypoth...
