Abstract

The early phase after hepatitis B virus infection could play a crucial role in clearance and/or persistence of the virus, particularly in neonates. This work compared the early phase of duck hepatitis B virus infection in 1-day-old (D1) and 28-day-old (D28) ducks to determine whether differences in viral or host innate immune response can be related to the difference in outcome. In the first phase, almost immediately after inoculation, virus was taken up by components of the reticulo-endothelial systems, particularly liver-specific macrophages, Kupffer cells. Very early after infection, the induction of alpha interferon by infected hepatocytes occurred and was rapidly reinforced by recruitment of effector lymphocytes, which directly or indirectly caused apoptosis, eliminating infected hepatocytes, as was seen in mature birds. In addition, a lack of lymphocytic infiltration of the liver was found in D1 ducks, which supports the suggestion that the innate immune network is less effective in D1 ducks. Taken together, these results suggest that failure of the co-ordinated innate immune response rather than a defect in induced antiviral cell-mediated immunity may be the key factor which makes baby ducks vulnerable to persistence of hepadnavirus infection.
