    Abstract:
    Marek's disease (MD) is an alphaherpesvirus (Marek's disease virus, MDV)-induced pathology of chickens associated with paralysis, immunosuppression, neurological signs, and T-cell lymphomas. MD is controlled in poultry production via live attenuated vaccines. The purpose of the current study was to compare methods for precipitating exosomes from vaccinated and protected chicken sera (VEX) and tumor-bearing chicken sera (TEX) for biomarker analysis of vaccine-induced protection and MD lymphomas respectively. A standard polyethylene glycol (PEG, 8%) method was compared to a commercial reagent (total exosome isolation reagent, TEI) for exosome yield and RNA content. Although exosomes purified by PEG or TEI were comparable in size and morphology, TEI-reagent yielded 3-4-fold greater concentration. Relative expression of 8 out of 10 G. gallus- and MDV1-encoded miRNAs examined displayed significant difference depending upon the precipitation method used. Standard PEG yields comparable, albeit lower amounts of exosomes than the TEI-reagent and a distinctive miRNA composition.
