Identification and comparative expression analysis of interleukin 2/15 receptor β chain in chickens infected with E. tenella.

<h4>Background</h4>Interleukin (IL) 2 and IL15 receptor β chain (IL2/15Rβ, CD122) play critical roles in signal transduction for the biological activities of IL2 and IL15. Increased knowledge of non-mammalian IL2/15Rβ will enhance the understanding of IL2 and IL15 functions.<h4>Met...
