Assessment on reticuloendotheliosis virus infection in specific-pathogen-free chickens based on detection of yolk antibody.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is the most frequent exogenous virus that contaminates attenuated vaccines. Therefore, it is extremely important to select REV-free specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken embryos. Generally, REV infection is assessed by detecting REV antibodies in SPF chickens. This p...
