Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a respiratory pathogen of cattle that causes severe disease in calves alone and as one of several viruses and bacteria that cause bovine respiratory disease complex. Like human RSV this virus modulates the immune response to avoid stimulation of a vibrant CD8+ T cytotoxic cell response and instead promotes a Th2 response. The Th2 skew sometimes results in the production of IgE antibodies and depresses production of the Th1 cytokine interferon γ. Innate immune cells have a pivotal role in guiding the adaptive response to BRSV, with selective secretion of cytokines by pulmonary dendritic cells. Here we review some of the pertinent observations on immune responses to BRSV infection and vaccination and illustrate how experimental infection models have been used to elucidate the immunopathogenesis of BRSV infection. Recent experiments using intranasal vaccination and/or immune modulation with DNA based adjuvants show promise for effective vaccination by the stimulation of Th1 T cell responses.  相似文献

Early interactions of innate immune cell populations, such as dendritic cells (DC) and natural killer (NK) cells, can affect the ability of the acquired immune response to control infection of intracellular microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the activation of bovine NK cells by CD13(+) splenic DC stimulated with either Mycobacterium bovis BCG or Babesia bovis merozoites. Splenic DC were used either immediately after selection (cytokine(-)) or after exposure to GM-CSF, IL-4 and Flt3L for 72 h (cytokine(+)). Phenotypic analyses showed up-regulation of MHCII, CD80 and CD86 on cytokine(+) DC when compared to cytokine(-) DC. Purified NK cells (CD335(+)CD3(-)CD2(+/-)CD8alpha(+/-)) were co-cultured with microbial-exposed cytokine(-) DC or cytokine(+) DC in either transwell or cell-to-cell format and NK cell IFN-gamma production and cytotoxicity were assessed. NK cell IFN-gamma production was dependent on cell-to-cell contact. Microbial-stimulated cytokine(+) DC induced significantly more IFN-gamma production from NK cells than cytokine(-) cells. In contrast, cytotoxicity and perforin up-regulation were more pronounced in NK cells cultured with cytokine(-) DC than cytokine(+) DC. Therefore, activation of bovine NK cells by microbial-stimulated CD13(+) splenic DC is influenced by the maturation state of the DC suggesting different roles for the splenic DC during disease-induced maturation.  相似文献

Activation of CCR5 by specific chemokines is involved in the regulation of the immunological response of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. In addition, CCR5 serves as a fusion co-factor for macrophage-tropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Consequently, several CCR5 antagonists are currently in development for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The dog CCR5 gene was cloned in order to characterise the chemokine binding site of the dog receptor for comparison across species. The deduced amino acid sequence of the dog CCR5 has close homology to the human receptor (80% identity). A HEK-293 cell line expressing the dog recombinant receptor was generated and immunoblot analysis with an anti-human CCR5 antibody revealed a 58kDa band in the cell lysate. In functional calcium signalling assays, the CCR5 endogenous ligands MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta and RANTES evoked a robust response in the dog recombinant CCR5 cells. In a CRE-Luc (cAMP response element-luciferase) reporter gene assay, MIP-1beta (0.01-30nM) produced concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin induced elevation in cAMP levels, and was equipotent in dog, human and macaque recombinant CCR5 cells (EC(50) 0.4, 0.21 and 0.47nM, respectively). These data suggest that chemokine signalling is conserved in the dog CCR5.  相似文献

T cell activity is a critical component of immunity to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). We tested the effects of immunization by modified-live and inactivated BRSV vaccines on cell-mediated and humoral immunity in young calves. The two forms of vaccine stimulated similar serum neutralizing antibody production, although the early kinetics of those responses differed. CD4+, CD8+, and gammadelta T cells were analyzed before and after immunization for BRSV-specific in vitro recall responses, as evaluated by CD25 upregulation measured by flow cytometry. Modified-live virus (MLV) primed each of the three subsets for statistically significant in vitro responses to antigen. Inactivated vaccine also primed each T cell population for significant antigen-driven CD25 upregulation, including responses by CD4+ and gammadelta T cells that were stronger and longer-lasting than those primed by MLV. Monoclonal antibody was used in additional assays to block MHC class I during incubation of BRSV antigen with peripheral blood mononuclear cells from an animal in the inactivated vaccine group. The recall response by CD8+ T cells was more inhibited by this treatment than the other subsets, further suggesting that the inactivated vaccine had primed antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. In summary, the data indicate that balanced BRSV-specific T cell responses can be induced by inactivated, as well as modified-live, conventional vaccines, which may implicate an alternative pathway of MHC class I antigen presentation.  相似文献

Despite highly successful eradication efforts in several countries, Mycobacterium bovis infection of cattle remains a significant health concern worldwide. Immune mechanisms of resistance to and/or clearance of M. bovis infection of cattle, however, are unclear. Recent studies have provided evidence supporting a role for CD4(+), CD8(+), and gammadelta TCR(+) T cells in the response of cattle to M. bovis. In the present study, we utilized a flow cytometric-based proliferation assay to determine the relative contribution of individual lymphocyte subsets in the response to M. bovis infection and/or sensitization with mycobacterial purified protein derivative (PPD). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from M. bovis-infected cattle proliferated in response to in vitro stimulation with M. bovis PPD. CD4(+) T cells and gammadelta TCR(+) cells were the predominate subsets of lymphocytes responding to PPD. gammadelta TCR(+) cells also proliferated in non-stimulated cultures; however, the gammadelta TCR(+) cell proliferative response of infected cattle was significantly (p<0.05) greater in PPD-stimulated cultures as compared to non-stimulated cultures. Intradermal injection of PPD for comparative cervical testing (CCT) induced a boost in the in vitro proliferative response of CD4(+) but not gammadelta TCR(+) cells of infected cattle. Administration of PPD for CCT also boosted interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production by PBMC of infected cattle following in vitro stimulation with M. bovis PPD. Injection of PPD for CCT did not, however, elicit a proliferative or IFN-gamma response in cells isolated from non-infected cattle. These data indicate that CD4(+) and gammadelta TCR(+) cells of M. bovis-infected cattle proliferate in a recall response to M. bovis PPD and that the CD4(+) cell response is boosted by intradermal injection with PPD for CCT.  相似文献

The present study compared the replication of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) in bovine and ovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells, ovine and bovine monocytic cell lines and ovine alveolar macrophages. Low titres of virus were detected in ovine and bovine lymphocytes and monocytes 24–96 h post-exposure to the virus but there was no apparent replication of the virus in ovine alveolar macrophages during the culture period. The virus replicated to higher but statistically insignificant titres in ovine and bovine peripheral blood monocytes than in lymphocytes, with lymphocytes yielding peak titres significantly earlier. The secondary cell lines obtained from ovine liver and bone marrow also supported the replication of BRSV to high titres. The titres of BRSV in ovine and bovine lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly lower than in secondary cell lines. The addition of human recombinant tumour necrosis factor alpha after exposure to the virus or pre-incubation of ovine or bovine monocytic cells with either human recombinant interleukin 2 or phorbol myristate acetate before exposure to BRSV, did not significantly affect virus titre. Pre-incubation of cells with indomethacin or actinomycin significantly lowered virus titre (p<0.05).  相似文献

Calves lacking detectable serum antibodies against bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) were screened for virus-specific T-cell memory. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured in vitro with live BRSV and analyzed by dual-color flow cytometry for surface expression of CD25 on CD4(+), CD8(+), and gammadeltaT-cells. Significant recall responses were detected in some of the seronegative calves. Modified live BRSV vaccine was administered to these and to a group of non-responding calves. Following vaccination, virus-specific IgG, virus neutralizing antibody, and T-cell recall responses were all elevated more rapidly in the group with BRSV-sensitive T-cells than in the T-cell-negative group, which suggested that calves in the first group were previously exposed to BRSV. This demonstrates that exposure to BRSV can induce T and B cell memory in young calves without causing seroconversion. The calves were presumably exposed to BRSV while they had maternal antibody, which inhibited the calves from developing an antibody response.  相似文献

We previously reported that CD21(+) B cells purified from bovine blood do not respond to CpG-ODN stimulation unless either CD14(+) monocytes or B-cell Activating Factor (BAFF), a cytokine produced by activated monocytes, are present. In this report, we present evidence that CD14(+) monocytes are critical for CpG-specific lymphocyte proliferation within the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) population but that this response is not mediated by soluble factors produced by CpG-activated monocytes. We further determine that bovine monocytes stimulated with IFN-γ induce expression of the BAFF gene and that recombinant IFN-γ and BAFF induced robust B cell activation when cultured in the absence of CpG ODN. These data suggest that CpG-stimulated monocytes may indirectly promote B cell activation by promoting release of cytokines and/or other soluble factors from accessory cells which in turn act on CpG-stimulated B cells to promote antigen-independent and T cell independent B cell activation. Understanding the T cell independent signals that induce B cell activation has important implications for understanding B cell development in locations where T cells are limited and in understanding polyclonal B cell activation that may contribute to autoimmune diseases.  相似文献

Jembrana disease virus (JDV) is an unusual bovine lentivirus that causes an acute and sometimes fatal disease after a short incubation period in Bali cattle (Bos javanicus). The pathological changes occur primarily in lymphoid tissues, which feature proliferating lymphoblastoid-like cells predominantly throughout parafollicular (T-cell) areas, and atrophy of follicles (B-cell) areas. Five Bali cattle were experimentally infected with JDV and all developed typical clinical signs of Jembrana disease characterised by a transient febrile response, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes and a significant leukopenia. Flow cytometric analysis of PBMC during the acute (febrile) disease phase showed that the reduced number of lymphocytes was due to a significant decrease in both the proportion and absolute numbers of CD4(+) T cells, but not CD8(+) T-cells or CD21(+) B-cells. At the end of the febrile phase, total numbers of both CD8(+) T-cells and CD21(+) B-cells increased significantly, while CD4(+) T-cell numbers remained below normal values, resulting in a significantly reduced CD4(+):CD8(+) ratio. We speculate that the persistent depletion of CD4(+) T cells following JDV infection, through lack of CD4(+) T cell help to B cells, may explain the lack of production of JDV-specific antibodies for several weeks after recovery despite an increase in CD21(+) B cell numbers. Further, our previous data showing that IgG(+) plasma cells are targets for JDV infection, correlated with our current data demonstrating an increase in CD8(+) T cell numbers, supports the suggestion that anti-viral cytotoxic T cell or other cell-mediated immune responses may be critical in the recovery process, although this remains to be formally demonstrated for JDV.  相似文献

The role of cell-mediated immune response in the immunopathogenesis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) infection is not well established. In the present study, cytotoxic T cell responses of BRSV-infected lambs were examined using the chromium release assay. Lambs experimentally infected with BRSV developed cytotoxic lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the spleen, which lysed BRSV-infected but not uninfected cells. Peak cytotoxic activity occurred 10-14 days after infection. Pretreatment of mononuclear cells with anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies and rabbit complement significantly reduced cytotoxic activity (P less than 0.05). It appears, therefore, that lambs experimentally infected with BRSV develop virus-specific, predominantly CD8+, cytotoxic lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and spleen.  相似文献

We examined whether bovine monocyte-derived and bone marrow (BM) dendritic cells (DCs) regulate antibody production in activated peripheral blood B cells. DCs were generated from monocytes and BM progenitors in the presence of bovine recombinant granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin 4 (IL-4). Monocyte-derived DCs promoted B cells activated by the anti-CD3 triggered CD4(+) T cells or through immunoglobulin M (IgM) receptor to increase the level of IgG secretion. Furthermore, the addition of DCs triggered B cells activated through IgM receptors to produce IgG2 and IgA, thus inducing an isotype switch. BM-derived DCs increased the production of IgG in B cells activated by the anti-CD3 triggered CD4(+) T cells, but unlike monocyte-derived DCs did not have any effect on B cells activated through surface IgM. These data suggest that the regulation of humoral immune responses in cattle depends on the origin of DCs and the mode of B cell activation.  相似文献

After encountering antigen, dendritic cells (DC) must differentiate into a fully mature phenotype to induce a protective, lasting T cell immunity. Paratuberculosis is a disease caused by the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) and is characterized by a transient cell mediated immune response, that when dissipates correlates to the onset of clinical disease. In order to study the mechanism of early cellular immunity associated with M. paratuberculosis infection, we tested the hypothesis that M. paratuberculosis infected bovine DC have impaired activation and maturation thus are defective in the initiation of a sustainable and protective Th1 immune response locally. Our results demonstrate that M. paratuberculosis infected DC showed decreased endocytosis of ovalbumin, indicating some functional maturation. Co-stimulatory molecules CD40 and CD80 mRNA expression from M. paratuberculosis infected DC was increased over untreated immature DC. M. paratuberculosis infection induced chemokine receptor CCR7 increase in DC, yet CCR5 remained high. MHC II surface expression remained low on M. paratuberculosis infected DC. M. paratuberculosis infection inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-12 production and promoted IL-10 secretion by bovine DC. Together, our findings showed evidence of phenotypic and functional maturation of DC. However, we did not see the expected antigen presentation via MHC II and cytokine responses as a fully mature DC. This may suggest semi-mature DC phenotype induced by M. paratuberculosis infection.  相似文献

The monoclonal antibody (MAb), C5B6, recognizes the CD11c/CD18 molecule on the surface of bovine peripheral blood monocytes. C5B6 was reactive with 69-83% monocytes, all granulocytes, and less than 5% of lymphocytes from cattle. Of the lymphocyte series, the antibody had specificity for large lymphocytes and two lines expressing T cell markers, but was not reactive with small lymphocytes, thymocytes, a tumor cell line of B-cell lineage, an interleukin 2 (IL2)-dependent T cell line, fibroblasts, or human, sheep, goat or pig peripheral blood mononuclear cells. No dual fluorescence was seen using C5B6 and antibodies to bovine IgM, CD2, CD4 or CD8. Immunoprecipitation of 125I labeled peripheral blood mononuclear cells with C5B6 antibody defined two bands: 150,000 and 95,000 Da. Antibody to the beta chain (CD18) of the leukocyte adhesion receptor family precipitates the 95 kDa beta subunit and the three associated alpha subunits (180, 165 and 150). The bands obtained using MAb C5B6 correlated with the p150/95 bands observed using an antibody that precipitated the alpha and beta chains of the leukocyte adhesion receptor family. Functionally, the primary but not the secondary proliferative response to alloantigens was inhibited by C5B6 MAb. No effect was seen using C5B6 MAb in cytotoxicity assays or in the secondary proliferative response to Brucella abortus or bovine herpes virus type 1.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a single intranasal dose of modified-live bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) vaccine protects calves from BRSV challenge and characterize cell-mediated immune response in calves following BRSV challenge. ANIMALS: 13 conventionally reared 4- to 6-week-old Holstein calves. PROCEDURES: Calves received intranasal vaccination with modified live BRSV vaccine (VC-group calves; n = 4) or mock vaccine (MC-group calves; 6) 1 month before BRSV challenge; unvaccinated control-group calves (n = 3) underwent mock challenge. Serum virus neutralizing (VN) antibodies were measured on days -30, -14, 0, and 7 relative to BRSV challenge nasal swab specimens were collected for virus isolation on days 0 to 7. At necropsy examination on day 7, tissue specimens were collected for measurement of BRSV-specific interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) production. Tissue distribution of CD3+ T and BLA.36+ B cells was evaluated by use of immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The MC-group calves had significantly higher rectal temperatures, respiratory rates, and clinical scores on days 5 to 7 after BRSV challenge than VC-group calves. No difference was seen between distributions of BRSV in lung tissue of VC- and MC-group calves. Production of BRSV-specific IFN-gamma was increased in tissue specimens from VC-group calves, compared with MC- and control-group calves. Virus-specific IFN-gamma production was highest in the mediastinal lymph node of VC-group calves. Increased numbers of T cells were found in expanded bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue and airway epithelium of VC-group calves. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: An intranasal dose of modified-live BRSV vaccine can protect calves against virulent BRSV challenge 1 month later.  相似文献

Cholera toxin (Ctx) is a powerful mucosal adjuvant with potential applications for oral vaccination of swine. Dendritic cells (DC) play a key role in the decision between immunity and tolerance, and are likely target cells for mediating Ctx functions in vivo. Therefore, we examined the capacity of Ctx to enhance stimulatory activity of porcine monocyte-derived DC (MoDC). Ctx promoted the development of a semi-mature DC phenotype, with decreased levels of MHC class II and CD40, but increased CD80/86 expression. These changes were associated with activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), but not NFkappaB or c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Functionally, Ctx-priming greatly diminished T cell stimulatory capacity both in antigen-specific and superantigen-induced proliferation assays. The lower proliferation rate was not due to increased apoptosis of either DC or T cells. Ctx suppressed TNFalpha secretion by MoDC, but induced IL-10 production. The observed effects on T cell proliferation could only be partially mimicked by IL-10 alone. However, addition of recombinant TNFalpha to co-cultures of Ctx-primed MoDC and lymphocytes restored lymphocyte proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Ctx-primed DC were not actively tolerogenic, since they could not suppress proliferative T cell reactions induced by untreated DC.  相似文献

Immunization of cattle with in vitro propagated bovine mononuclear cells infected with Theileria annulata induces a protective immune response. Activation and effector function of T cells exiting the lymph node draining the site of cell line immunization were investigated to understand the mechanisms involved in the generation of immunity. Immunized animals exhibited a biphasic immune response in efferent lymph as well as peripheral blood. The first phase corresponded to allogenic responses against MHC antigens of the immunizing cell line and the second was associated with parasite specific responses. An increase in the output of CD2(+) cells and MHC class II(+) cells in efferent lymph was observed after cell line immunization with a corresponding decrease in WC1(+) cells. Although the percentage of CD4(+) T cells did not change significantly over the course of the experiment, they became activated. Both CD25 and MHC class II expressing CD4(+) T cells were detected from day 7 onwards, peaking around day 13. Efferent lymph leukocytes (ELL) exhibited sustained responses to IL-2 in vitro following cell line immunization. Antigen specific proliferation was also detected first to the immunizing cell line and then to parasite antigens. The two peaks of CD2(+) cells were observed, which corresponded to similar peaks of CD8(+) cells. The increase in CD8(+) cells was more pronounced during the second parasite specific phase than the first allogenic phase. Activated CD8(+) T cells mainly expressed MHC class II and some expressed CD25. Significantly the peak of activated CD4(+) T cells preceded the peak of activated CD8(+) T cells, highlighting the role of T. annulata specific CD4(+) T cells in inducing parasite specific CD8(+) cytotoxic responses. A biphasic cytotoxic response also appeared in efferent lymph and peripheral blood, the first directed against MHC antigens of the immunizing cell line followed by MHC class I restricted parasite specific cytotoxicity. The cytotoxic responses in efferent lymph appeared earlier than peripheral blood, suggesting that activated CD8(+) cells exiting the draining lymph node following immunization with T. annulata infected schizonts play an important role in the development of protective immune responses.  相似文献

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) belongs to the pneumovirus genus within the family Paramyxoviridae and is a major cause of respiratory disease in young calves. BRSV is enveloped and contains a negative sense, single-stranded RNA genome encoding 11 proteins. The virus replicates predominantly in ciliated respiratory epithelial cells but also in type II pneumocytes. It appears to cause little or no cytopathology in ciliated epithelial cell cultures in vitro, suggesting that much of the pathology is due to the host's response to virus infection. RSV infection induces an array of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines that recruit neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes to the respiratory tract resulting in respiratory disease. Although the mechanisms responsible for induction of these chemokines and cytokines are unclear, studies on the closely related human (H)RSV suggest that activation of NF-kappaB via TLR4 and TLR3 signalling pathways is involved. An understanding of the mechanisms by which BRSV is able to establish infection and induce an inflammatory response has been facilitated by advances in reverse genetics, which have enabled manipulation of the virus genome. These studies have demonstrated an important role for the non-structural proteins in anti-interferon activity, a role for a virokinin, released during proteolytic cleavage of the fusion protein, in the inflammatory response and a role for the SH and the secreted form of the G protein in establishing pulmonary infection. Knowledge gained from these studies has also provided the opportunity to develop safe, stable, live attenuated virus vaccine candidates.  相似文献
