Objetivo The chicken is the most important source of animal proteins of humans. The poultry indoor- story is facing increasing problems due to the emergence of more virulent forms of path- ovens causing much diseases and mortality in commercial flocks. Moreover, modifications in poultry feeding have currently disastrous repercussions. Therefore amelioration of the quality of food and derivative products will be a major challenge of the next century and one of the most urgent requirements of European citizens. This project aims to create a new generation of tools for avian immunology in the EU, by building a data base of expression profiles for a large set of chicken genes expressed in various types of imp- mane tissues, at different stages of diseases development, and with significant function in regulation of both innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. These resources will be unique and will represent a comprehensive knowledge base of great importance. It will contribute to decrease the losses in flocks through mortality and reduced product quail- tee due to diseases, by increasing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the Ámbito científico social sciencessociologydemographymortalitynatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesproteinsmedical and health sciencesbasic medicineimmunology Programa(s) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Tema(s) 1.1.1.-5. - Key action Sustainable Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Convocatoria de propuestas Data not available Régimen de financiación CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinador CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Rue Guy Môquet 19 94801 Villejuif Francia Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Participantes (4) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo GSF-RESEARCH CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH Alemania Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1 85764 OBERSCHLEISSHEIM Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Institute for Animal Health Reino Unido Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Compton Laboratory Compton RG16 0NN Newbury Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos ROSS BREEDERS LTD Reino Unido Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Lochend Road 11 EH28 8SZ NEWBRIDGE Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos STAZIONE ZOOLOGICA ANTON DOHRN Italia Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Villa Comunale 80121 NAPOLI Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos
