Brazil has the third largest worldwide production of turkeys, and is the second largest exporter of this bird. The acute phase proteins are synthesized mainly in hepatocytes, but there is also an extrahepatic production. This is promoted by inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukins IL-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), responsible for the induction of synthesis and secretion of these protein in response to an infection or inflammation. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the acute phase proteins could be used as tools to monitor the effectiveness of vaccination against Newcastle disease, using the LaSota activated and inactivated strains in female egg-laying turkeys when compared with a non-vaccinated control group. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found for the concentrations of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein between the group vaccinated with the LaSota inactivated strain and the group vaccinated with LaSota activated strain at 36 weeks. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found for the concentrations of IgG heavy chain from the group vaccinated with the LaSota inactivated strain and the group vaccinated with the LaSota activated strain at 38 weeks. In the 46th week, the total protein concentrations showed significant differences (p<0.05) between the group vaccinated with the LaSota inactivated strain and the control group. On week 48 significant differences (p<0.05) were found for the concentrations of ovotransferrin, between vaccinated birds with LaSota activated strain and the group vaccinated with the LaSota inactivated strain, and serum concentrations of IgG light chain showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the group vaccinated with the LaSota inactivated strain in the control group. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found for the concentrations of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein between the control group and the group vaccinated with LaSota inactivated ...
