High-frequency and activation of CD4+CD25+ T cells maintain persistent immunotolerance induced by congenital ALV-J infection

Abstract Congenital avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) infection can induce persistent immunotolerance in chicken, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that congenital ALV-J infection induces the production of high-frequency and activated CD4+CD25+ Tregs that...
