Survival curves and replication of rNDV-NPE402A and rNDV-WT in 4-week-old chickens. (A) Survival curves of 4-week-old specific pathogen-free chickens (n = 10). Birds were infected with rNDV-WT or rNDV-NPE402A. (BD) Replication of the two viruses in 4-week-old chickens. Birds were inoculated with 105EID50/100 μl of rNDV-NPE402A or rNDV-WT through the eye drop/intranasal (ED/IN) route, and sacrificed at 2 (B), 3 (C), or 4 (D) days post-inoculation (n = 2). The indicated tissues were collected, and viral titers were determined in DF-1 cells. Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference between the titers of the chimeric virus and the parental virus. P-values were calculated based on a two-tailed, unpaired t-test (95% confidence levels). *P = 0.01–0.05; **P = 0.001–0.01.
