This publication describes the development of reagents used for the identification and assessment of a new cytokine therapeutic. Results from poultry trials show that treatment with chicken interferon-gamma led to improvements in weight gain and also helped protect birds against coccidiosis infection. As a measure of the successful outcome of this project, it is anticipated that ChIFN-? technology will be implemented in the Australian market in the near future. Evaluation of additional cytokines will provide an extended range of therapeutics.
