Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolants that differed in virulence for chickens, were compared as to: 1) induction of interferon in serum and tissues; and 2) stimulation of IBDV serum antibody. Specific-pathogen-free chickens were infected at one day and four weeks of age by the subcutaneous and intranasal routes of inoculation. The pathogenic isolant induced a more generalized interferon response than the attenuated isolant, independent of age or route of inoculation. Pathogenic IBDV stimulated interferon in serum, kidney, lung, thymus, spleen, and bursa of Fabricius. The attenuated virus induced interferon only in the bursa. The serum interferon response was greater following inoculation with pathogenic IBDV than with the attenuated virus. Serum interferon titers peaked 2-3 1/2 days after inoculation. The pathogenic and attenuated viruses stimulated similar IBDV-neutralizing antibody responses, which occurred after peak serum interferon activity.
