Abstract
Recently, we have observed that chickens vaccinated with the herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) develop lymphoproliferative lesions (1) and a cell mediated immune response to the Marekfs disease tumor associated surface antigen (MATSA) (2). The purpose of this presentation is to consider these observations in view of the overall mechanism of vaccine protection in Marekfs disease (MD) and to speculate on the possible role MATSA immunity may play in protection. Furthermore, additional data are presented that confirm earlier observations on the presence of MATSA in HVT infected chickens.
