Marek's disease virus prolongs survival of primary chicken B-cells by inducing a senescence-like phenotype.
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes immunosuppression and deadly lymphoma in chickens. Lymphoid organs play a central role in MDV infection in animals. B-cells in the bursa of Fabricius facilitate high levels of MDV replication and contribute to dissemination at early...
