After challenge with a homologous virulent IBV strain at 21 days post-immunization, vaccinated groups showed significant differences in the percentage of birds with clinical signs, as compared to the control group (p < 0.01), as the two covalent-vaccination groups and the rDEV-S group provided better protection than the rDEV-Nor rDEV-S1-vaccinated group. The N phosphoprotein is conserved among different IBV serotypes and can induce high titers of cross-reactive antibodies and cell-mediated immunity that protects chickens from acute infection, thus it is used as a target protein in designing vaccines against IB (Williams et al., 1992; Collisson et al., 2000; Seo et al., 1997) . Antibody responses of chickens vaccinated with recombinant duck enteritis viruses expressing the N, S or S1 gene of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). ./cache/cord-259480-1tqfoecc.txt ./txt/cord-259480-1tqfoecc.txt
