Studies of afferent lymph veiled cells (ALVC) show that the full biological function of dendritic cells in peripheral tissue is not explained by a simple model in which immature dendritic cells at the body surface take up antigen, migrate via the afferent lymph ducts, mature and then effectively present antigens to T-cells in the draining lymph node. Furthermore, it is evident from various investigations that the dendritic cells in afferent lymph draining from the body surfaces are not a homogeneous population of cells. They comprise a mixture of cell phenotypes defined by staining with monoclonal antibodies, and the different sub-populations have distinct biological functions and roles in vivo. The molecular basis for differences between the function of afferent lymph dendritic cell subsets is only now being explored and defined but some progress has been made in understanding the role of co-stimulatory molecules. It should be possible to exploit knowledge of the functions of these cells and aid future vaccination strategies in domesticated animals thereby improving animal health and reducing economic loss, and, as a consequence, improving human health. By deliberately targeting functionally distinct subsets of either precursor or mature dendritic cells in vivo, it should become feasible to achieve an appropriately biased immune response. 相似文献

Antigen presenting cells in mucosal sites of veterinary species 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The ability of antigen presenting cells, in particular dendritic cells, to integrate a variety of environmental signals, together with their ability to respond appropriately by initiating either tolerance or defensive immune responses make them cells of particular relevance and importance in the mucosal environment. They have been demonstrated in a variety of mucosal tissues in veterinary species and have been characterized to varying degrees, showing that fundamental immunological principles apply throughout all species, but also highlighting some species differences. A major advantage of carrying out immunological research in veterinary species is their size: it is possible to cannulate lymphatic ducts and obtain information about cell migration between different tissues. It is also possible to obtain pure populations of relatively rare cell types such as the plasmacytoid dendritic cells or mucosal dendritic cells ex vivo for the study of immune responses to diseases in their natural host and for other thorough functional studies. Two major myeloid antigen presenting cell (APC) (dendritic cells, DC) cell populations have been described in gut draining lymph and other mucosal sites in ruminants and pigs, characterised by the presence or absence of surface molecules, their enzyme profiles, their ability to phagocytose and their different potential as APC. There is evidence that one of these subsets has migrated from the diffuse mucosal tissue, where it is found as a phagocytic as well as stimulatory APC population, which in turn may be derived from blood macrophages. In addition, the presence and role in viral infection of the IFN-alpha producing plasmacytoid DC in mucosal tissue is discussed, based on studies in pigs. 相似文献

Twelve subpanels of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) included within the 6th International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (6th HLDA) were assayed for reactivity with bovine peripheral blood leukocytes. Sixty-nine of the 807 MAb (8.6%) stained bovine cells. These MAb represented 30 different human CD groups. Nine of the MAb to different human CD antigens (CD19, CD23, CD39, CD47, CD86, CD117, CD120b, CDw149, CD165) potentially recognized antigens on cattle cells that had not previously been identified. These were investigated further by two-colour immunofluorescence to compare the cellular expression of the antigen on cattle cells with that reported for the different CD antigens in humans. Four of the MAb that belonged to CD23, CD39, CD47, and CDw149 stained bovine cells in a manner that indicated an almost identical cellular distribution of the antigen to that reported in humans. This implied that these MAb reacted with the homologous cattle molecules. Further work would be necessary to confirm specificity of CD19, CD86, CD117, CD120b and CD165 MAb. Other cross-reacting MAb either recognized antigens already defined in cattle or antigens not yet clustered in humans. The study has identified valuable new reagents for studies of cattle and confirmed that most common cross-reactive MAb are to epitopes on integrins. 相似文献

Paratuberculosis in cattle is a chronic intestinal disease in which a distinctive cellular reactivity of a Th1-type preceeds the phase in which antibody titers are easily detectable and the animal becomes clinically ill. During infection with Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (M.a.p), a decrease in CD4 T-helper cells has been observed in the clinical phase. Our ultimate aim is to elicit a cytotoxic reaction against infected macrophages, using recombinant Hsp70 (rHsp70) of M.a.p. as a tool to shuttle antigen into the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway. To investigate the mechanism of rHsp70 as a carrier for antigen into the cell, we studied the interaction between APC and Fitc-labelled rHsp70, using FACS analysis and confocal microscopy. Interaction of rHsp70 with the cell surface of bovine APC, presumably via a receptor, was shown on monocytes, monocyte derived macrophages and dendritic cell (DC). The interaction is detectable on the complete population of freshly derived monocytes, although peak intensity of fluorescence is lower on these cells than on macrophages and DCs. DCs show interaction on a high percentage of the cells, with high intensity, while in the case of macrophages only a subpopulation interacts with rHsp70. Efficient uptake of rHsp70 as compared to OVA is shown. Preincubation of DC with unlabelled rHsp70 leads to a decreased interaction with rHsp70-FITC. DC interacting with rHsp70 in addition showed high expression of MHC I, MHC II, Myd-1 (CD172a) and CD40. Further research will focus on loading of the rHsp70 with M.a.p. antigen for presentation in MHC class I. 相似文献

Ticks are important ectoparasites of domestic and wild animals, and tick infestations economically impact cattle production worldwide. Control of cattle tick infestations has been primarily by application of acaricides which has resulted in selection of resistant ticks and environmental pollution. Herein we discuss data from tick vaccine application in Australia, Cuba, Mexico and other Latin American countries. Commercial tick vaccines for cattle based on the Boophilus microplus Bm86 gut antigen have proven to be a feasible tick control method that offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to the use of acaricides. Commercial tick vaccines reduced tick infestations on cattle and the intensity of acaricide usage, as well as increasing animal production and reducing transmission of some tick-borne pathogens. Although commercialization of tick vaccines has been difficult owing to previous constraints of antigen discovery, the expense of testing vaccines in cattle, and company restructuring, the success of these vaccines over the past decade has clearly demonstrated their potential as an improved method of tick control for cattle. Development of improved vaccines in the future will be greatly enhanced by new and efficient molecular technologies for antigen discovery and the urgent need for a tick control method to reduce or replace the use of acaricides, especially in regions where extensive tick resistance has occurred. 相似文献

Secretory IgA (SIgA) constitutes the largest component of the humoral immune system of the body with gram quantities of this isotype produced by mammals on a daily basis. Secretory IgA (SIgA) antibodies function by both blocking pathogen/commensal entry at mucosal surfaces and virus neutralization. Several pathways of induction of IgA responses have been described which depend on T cells (T cell dependent or TD) pathways or are independent of T cells (T-independent or TI) and are mediated by dendritic cells (DCs) and/or epithelial cells. Many elements of IgA regulation readily cross species barriers (adjuvants, soluble and cognate factors) and are highly conserved whereas other pathways may be more specific to any given species and must be evaluated. Regulation of IgA production in cattle is not completely understood and thus we have focused in part on highly conserved factors such as transforming growth factor beta, Type I and Type 2 interferons, neuropeptides which interdigitate mucosal tissues (vasoactive intestinal peptide or VIP), and a small peptide (IgA inducing peptide or IGIP) which can serve as targets for modulation and increasing SIgA virus-specific antibodies. We have evaluated the potential utility of modulating these factors in vitro in regulation of qualitative aspects of antibodies of the IgM, IgG and IgA isotypes at mucosal surfaces and in secretions of the upper and lower respiratory tract to a virus of economic and public health importance, foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV). IgA responses in cattle are essential for host defense in response to various infectious agents. In cattle, IgA is not released into the colostrum, as is the case for other mammals but only IgG1 is selectively transported. In previous studies in cattle, IgA has been shown to be regulated by several cytokines including IFN-gamma, Type I interferons such as IFN-alpha and IFN-tau, transforming growth factor beta, IgA inducing peptide and other potential factors such as APRIL and BlyS which have not yet been fully evaluated in cattle. Many of these factors, namely TGF-beta and Type I interferons block cell cycle progression which is an essential component of Ig class switching and thus these factors require additional regulatory factors such as IL-2 to drive cells through cell cycle resulting in class switch recombination. Among these factors, IgA inducing peptide was originally identified from a bovine gut associated lymphoid tissue expression library and is highly conserved in pigs and humans at >90% at the amino acid level. The factor is regulated differently in various species but is consistently produced by dendritic cells. 相似文献

Nasal cells extracted from nasal swabs obtained from 95 cattle with signs of respiratory disease, out of eleven different herds, were tested for BHV-1, PI-3 virus, BRSV and BVDV using direct immunofluorescence technique. Viral antigen positive samples were detected in seven out of eleven herds examined. Of the 95 individual diseased cattle, 19 were found positive for at least one viral antigen. It was found that especially BHV-1 and PI-3 virus are important causative agents in cattle respiratory disease, both or in combination with other pathogenic agents. Multiple infection in virologically positive herds were observed in six (9.8%) of 61 animals tested. The findings reveal that single or multiple infections of selected viruses may be present in an important range in cattle and that direct immunofluorescence technique as a rapid method, based on the detection of viral antigen in nasal swab samples, is useful to establish the viral aetiology of acute bovine respiratory disease caused by these viruses, particularly in the diagnosis of mixed viral infections. 相似文献

Dendritic cells are central to the initiation of primary immune responses. They are the only antigen-presenting cell capable of stimulating naive T cells, and hence they are pivotal in the generation of adaptive immunity. Dendritic cells also interact with and influence the response of cells of the innate immune system. The manner in which dendritic cells influence the responses in cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems has consequences for the bias of the adaptive response that mediates immunity to infection after vaccination or infection. It also provides an opportunity to intervene and to influence the response, allowing ways of developing appropriate vaccination strategies. Mouse and human studies have identified myeloid, lymphoid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Studies in domesticated animals with agents of specific infectious diseases have confirmed the applicability of certain of the generic models developed from mice or from in vitro studies on human cells. In vivo and ex vivo studies in cattle have demonstrated the existence of a number of subpopulations of myeloid dendritic cells. These cells differ in their ability to stimulate T cells and in the cytokines that they produce, observations clearly having important implications for the bias of the T-cell response. Dendritic cells also interact with the innate immune system, inducing responses that potentially bias the subsequent adaptive response. 相似文献

Because of their unsurpassed potency in presenting antigens to naive T cells, dendritic cells are considered to be an important candidate in the development of immunotherapeutic strategies. Despite the high potential of dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, as a so-called dendritic cell vaccination, few clinical approaches using dendritic cell vaccination have been performed in the dog because of very limited information regarding the generation of canine dendritic cells and their functional properties. We therefore established a protocol for the efficient generation of dendritic cells from canine bone marrow cells using recombinant feline granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and canine interleukin-4. Dendritic cells were generated efficiently: a yield of 1-9 x 10(6) cells per approximately 0.5 ml of canine bone marrow aspiration was achieved. These dendritic cells showed features shared with mouse and human dendritic cells: dendrite morphology, expression of surface markers MHC class II and CD11c, and up-regulation of molecules related to antigen presentation (MHC class II, B7-1, and B7-2) by activation with lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, the dendritic cells demonstrated phagocytic activity, processing activity of pinocytosed proteins, and activation of allogeneic T cells far more potent than that by macrophages. Our findings suggest that the bone marrow-derived dendritic cells are functional for the capturing and processing of antigens and the initiation of T cell responses. 相似文献

An ELISA for the detection of serum antibody in sheep, cattle and goats to the viruses of bluetongue (BTV) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer (EHDV) has been developed. Two methods of antigen preparation were analysed for efficacy in the ELISA and inter-group seroreactivity. A freeze-thaw (F/T) antigen appeared to have a narrower specificity than a cytoskeletal preparation from infected cells (P200) which contained all viral proteins. A higher background reactivity was seen when using the P200 antigen, suggesting that a F/T antigen, perhaps as a composite of serotypes, would be of greater value in an ELISA to replace current methods for antibody screening. The effect of multiple infections with unrelated orbiviruses was found to have no effect on the detection of antibody to BTV and EHDV by ELISA. The ELISA was able to demonstrate development and persistence of antibody to BTV in cattle over the course of 120 days. 相似文献

This review examines the mechanisms involved in anti-tumor immunity and how peptides present in many tumor types (tumor-associated antigens) are recognized by T cells from tumor-bearing cancer patients. Tumor-associated antigens are derived from proteins that are also expressed in normal cells. It is predicted that immune responses to such peptides will be compromised by self-tolerance or that stimulation of effective immune responses will be accompanied by autoimmunity. We also consider that the immunity induced against two autoantigens, which are highly conserved in vertebrates, involve qualitatively different mechanisms, such as the production of antibodies and cell-mediated immune responses. However, both pathways lead to tumor immunity and identical phenotypic manifestations of autoimmunity. Appropriate selection of the optimal tumor antigen is critical for the induction of an anti-tumor immune response. Thus, we stress that the methods for antigen presentation using dendritic cells play a critical role in the development of tumor vaccines, to break immune tolerance and induce a strong immune response against them. The viability and feasibility of expansion of canine dendritic cells from bone marrow and peripheral blood ex vivo for the treatment of spontaneous cancers in dogs is also discussed. 相似文献

The Ki-67 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes an antigen present on the nuclear membrane surface of mammalian cells in the replication phase, has been used for the determination of the cellular cycle of peripheral blood lymphocytes on a group of cattle positive for bovine leukemia virus (BLV) and with blood values showing a persistent lymphocytosis. The results obtained have shown that: 1. Both of the techniques used (immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase) are easily applicable and give uniform results; 2. Cattle with a persistent lymphocytosis show an absolute number of cells in cycle significantly more elevated compared with cattle positive for BLV with normal blood values. 相似文献

Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are a unique population of accessory cells located in the light zone of the germinal centres of lymphoid follicles. Their involvement in the generation of humoral immune responses implies a potential role for these cells in many disorders. Indeed, in prion diseases, FDCs seem to be the major sites of extraneuronal cellular prion protein expression and the principal sites of the infectious agent accumulation in lymphoid organs. The identification of FDC is useful for the analysis of their distribution in reactive lymphoid tissue as well as in pathological conditions. The production and characterisation of a new mouse monoclonal antibody directed against bovine follicular dendritic cells (FDC-B1) is reported. The antigen detected by FDC-B1 is expressed exclusively on the surface of FDCs in ruminant lymphoid organs. The antigen has an approximate molecular weight of 28 kDa. 相似文献

Tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) are structures that are morphologically and functionally similar to secondary lymphoid organs. TLOs usually arise in a background of chronic inflammation. Several histological patterns of interstitial nephritis have been documented in porcine leptospirosis. Among them the lympho-follicular pattern is characterized by infiltrates of mononuclear cells organized in lymphoid follicle-like structures. Immunohistological analysis of 5 cases of porcine lympho-follicular nephritis associated with Leptospira Pomona infection demonstrated the presence of inflammatory cell populations, including B cells, T cells, macrophages and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), which were compartmentalized as in TLOs. Immunohistochemistry for Leptospira Pomona revealed an intimate association between leptospiral antigen and FDCs. Overexpression of MHCII in different populations of both professional and non-professional antigen presenting cells was also demonstrated. FDCs play role during TLOs induction for their ability to retain non-self antigens in the form of immune complexes, thus causing persistent T cell activation, generation of a complex cytokine network and stimulation of humoral immunity. Sustained bacterial antigen presentation in the context of chronic leptospiral nephritis, may also lead to autoimmune mechanisms involved in the generation of TLOs. Whether lymphoid neogenesis and TLOs play a protective role in porcine leptospiral nephritis is still unclear. 相似文献

In order to apply for reducing graft versus host disease in allogeneic stem cell transplantation, the study concerning the induction of specific T cell anergy was designed. Normal allogeneic lymphocytes, which were co-cultured with IL-10-treated immature dendritic cells in the first mixed leukocyte culture (MLC), were cultured with mature dendritic cells of the same origin as IL-10-treated immature dendritic cells in the second MLC. By co-culturing with IL-10-treated immature dendritic cells, the response of normal lymphocytes to mature dendritic cells cultured from the same individual as that of IL-10-treated dendritic cells was markedly reduced, compared with the lymphocytes cultured with non-treated dendritic cells or IL-10-treated dendritic cells from a third party individual. The present study demonstrated that antigen specific T cell anergy was generated by priming allogeneic lymphocytes with IL-10-treated immature dendritic cells. These data suggested the applicability of IL-10-treated recipient dendritic cells for the induction of recipient cell-specific donor T cell anergy in donor graft. 相似文献

We have used non-cytopathic (ncp) and cytopathic (cp) bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) to determine how the two biotypes affect mannose receptor (MR)-mediated endocytosis and fluid phase uptake in bovine monocytes. We have demonstrated that endocytosis in uninfected monocytes after 1 h of culture was mediated by the MR and fluid phase uptake, and after 24 h of culture it was mediated via fluid phase uptake only. Both cp and ncp BVDV affected the mechanisms of antigen uptake in monocytes. Endocytosis in BVDV infected monocytes, unlike in uninfected cells, was MR-independent and mediated by fluid phase uptake after 1 h of infection. The 24-h-BVDV infection changed the antigen uptake mechanisms to become MR- and fluid phase uptake-dependent. We conclude that antigen uptake, an important antigen presenting cell (APC) function, is affected in the early stage of BVDV infection during the first 24 h, with both BVDV biotypes, cp and ncp, having similar effects on monocyte antigen uptake in cattle. By influencing the early antigen uptake function of APC, BVDV might disrupt the function of monocytes as professional APC and contribute to the specific immunotolerance to BVDV. 相似文献
