DEPs in infected with ALV-J groups and control groups of Pengxian yellow chickens were involved in viral myocarditis, staphylococcus aureus infection, NFκB signaling pathway, intestinal immune network for IgA production, hematopoietic cell lineage, and autoimmune thyroid disease, such as KDM5A and RAB44 (Table 4) (Figure 8 (B)). Here, KDM5A is linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
