Proliferation of PMBC and splenocytes isolated from chickens immunised with the different transgenic populations (Et-Act-vvVP2, Et-TIF-vvVP2, Et-Act-gI or Et-TIF-gI) after stimulation with E. tenella soluble antigens, the corresponding recombinant antigen (rec-vvVP2 or rec-gI), an unspecific antigen (rec-gD) or PBS. *, ** indicate different significances, only E. tenella soluble extract induced linfoproliferation at days 7 (Et-Act-vvVP2: F (3,46) = 11.825, P < 0.00001; Et-TIF-vvVP2: F (3,45) = 9.041, P < 0.00001; one-way ANOVA) and 21 (Et-Act-vvVP2: F (3,24) = 12.439, P < 0.00001; Et-TIF-vvVP2: F (3,42) = 9.470, P < 0.00001; Et-Act-gI: F (3,35) = 11.769, P < 0.00001; Et-TIF-gI: F (3,28) = 11.870, P < 0.00001; one-way ANOVA). No significant linfoproliferation was observed at day 14 (Et-Act-vvVP2: F (2,10) = 2.557, P = 0.127; Et-TIF-vvVP2: F (2,27) = 1.091, P = 0.350; one-way ANOVA)
