Among the identified proteins, different products from the
peroxiredoxin gene family were found to be differentially
expressed between infected chickens belonging to the two lines
at all time points There were two predicted products of
peroxiredoxin-1 and peroxiredoxin-4 genes i.e. natural killer cell
enhancing factor (NKEF) isoform 4 and a protein similar to
MGC82793 protein isoform 2, respectively, which were found to be
highly expressed in MD-resistant B21 infected birds at 4 and
7 d.p.i
