Gnotobiotic calves given intramuscular injections of dexamethasone (DM, 0.5 mg kg-1 day-1) showed marked changes in haematological parameters including a neutrophilia and a lymphopaenia. Not only was there a reduction in the numbers of circulating mononuclear cells, but there was also a significant (P less than 0.01) decrease in the in vitro responsiveness of the remaining circulating peripheral blood lymphocytes to the mitogens, phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (ConA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM). Responses to all three mitogens were suppressed to a similar degree. Analysis of the circulating mononuclear cell sub-populations before and during DM treatment demonstrated a selective depletion of B cells; the T lymphocyte sub-population that expresses the gamma/delta form of T cell receptor, are CD2-, CD5+, CD8-, CD4- and constitute a major population in peripheral blood of calves. In vitro studies in gnotobiotic and conventional calves confirmed that DM was highly inhibitory for PHA responses but, in contrast to the in vivo findings, showed little effect of DM on ConA responses. Expression of surface antigens after 72 h in vitro culture in the presence of DM were little affected with the exception of BoCD8 and MHC II, which showed increased and decreased expression, respectively. These observations would suggest that distinct mechanisms are involved in glucocorticosteroid suppression of the responses to these two mitogens. 相似文献

Luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of peripheral blood lymphocytes from dogs stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A) or phytohemagglutinin P (PHA) was measured with a Pico-Lite luminometer. 10 microliter of luminol gave optimal quantum yield from 1 X 10(6) lymphocytes sensitized with either 80 micrograms Con A or 160 micrograms PHA. Addition of superoxide dismutase did not influence the course of chemiluminescence. Whereas catalase produced 41% increase in quantum yield, mannitol caused a 51% inhibition of chemiluminescence. Lymphocytes exposed to varying doses of short term x-irradiation or lymphocytes isolated from dogs kept under continuous exposure through a gamma irradiation source showed dose-related depression of chemiluminescence. Membrane factors may be involved in lymphocyte stimulation to chemiluminescence as pulse experiments with Con A and PHA revealed. It is proposed that chemiluminescence measurements may be useful in monitoring early events in lymphocyte stimulation by antigens and mitogens. 相似文献

The in vitro and in vivo effects of corticosteroids on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from ponies were studied. Prednisolone inhibited lymphocyte stimulation by phytohemagglutin (PHA) in a dose-dependent manner, without inducing lysis even at large doses. The PBL from horses heterozygous for the combined immunodeficiency trait responded to corticosteroid treatment the same as did PBL from normal ponies. Removal of the corticosteroid after incubation with PBL from normal ponies partially restored responsiveness of these cells to PHA. Chronic in vivo treatment of ponies with corticosteroids caused a marked decrease in the absolute numbers of circulating lymphocytes. Most remaining lymphocytes had detectable surface immunoglobulin and C3 receptors, suggesting a greater decrease in the T-lymphocyte population. In spite of this, there was little change in the in vitro PHA- or keyhole limpet hemocyanin-sensitized ponies. In general, the corticosteroid effects of lysis, as well as the mitogenic and antigenic responses of PBL from ponies, were similar to those previously reported for human lymphocytes. 相似文献

The percentage of E rosette forming cells amounted to 26% of the blood lymphocytes and 34% of the spleen cells in German Landrace pigs. 10% of the live lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and 22% of the spleen cells were EAC rosette forming cells. The number of E rosettes could be increased by treatment of sheep erythrocytes with neuraminidase. The number of lymphoid cells reacting with protein A in the peripheral blood and in the spleen of pigs correlated well with the number of EAC rosette forming cells. The mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) are potent stimulators of pig lymphoid cells. The mitogenic stimulation of pig lymphocytes could not be influenced significantly by the removal of phagocytic cells. By neuraminidase treatment the mitogen induced stimulation rate was decreased. For the mitogenic stimulation of porcine lymphoid cells in the presence of PHA, Con A and PWM T cells were required. Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) stimulated only B cells to a small degree. 相似文献

In vivo inoculation of three-month-old calves with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC), killed Corynebacterium parvum or mycobacterium cell wall extract (MCWE) resulted in an enhancement of in vitro peripheral blood lymphocyte blastogenic responses to mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and Concanavalin A (Con A) in the first three days after treatment. In a separate experiment, blood lymphocytes isolated from a healthy nontreated calf were incubated in vitro in presence of each of the same immunostimulating agents and tested for their blastogenic responses to PHA and Con A. The results showed that all immunostimulants, excepting DTC, enhanced the in vitro blastogenic responses of lymphocytes to PHA and Con A. Finally, addition of MCWE to cultures of blood lymphocytes isolated from calves vaccinated intramuscularly with bovine rotavirus and adjuvant resulted in an enhancement of the in vitro lymphocyte transformation to rotavirus. Our study demonstrated that DTC, killed Corynebacterium parvum and mycobacterium cell wall extract were able to enhance bovine T cell proliferation in vitro. 相似文献

The effect of addition of ammonia into the tissue culture on viability and functions of bovine lymphocytes was studied. The concentrations of ammonia in the tissue cultures represented toxic, subtoxic, and normal concentrations of ammonia in the bovine blood during clinical and subclinical urea toxicosis. Lymphocytes separated from peripheral bovine blood were incubated in control medium and test medium with various concentrations of ammonia and/or PHA or Con A. Viability of the lymphocytes was measured by trypan blue exclusion test and their mitogenic reactivity by incorporation of 3H thymidine into DNA of lymphocytes. Approximately 30% bovine lymphocytes were killed by ammonia in medium during 72 hours of incubation. Ammonia also affected the response of lymphocytes to stimulation with PHA or Con A as well as mixed lymphocyte culture reaction. The mitogenic response of lymphocytes was also reduced when lymphocytes were preincubated with ammonia for even 1 hour. The mitogenic response was not restored when the number of lymphocytes preincubated with ammonia was reconstituted to the initial concentration to compensate for the killed lymphocytes before stimulation with PHA. Therefore, addition of ammonia to the culture either killed lymphocytes or permanently impaired their functions. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) production by mitogen stimulated bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes and its assay 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Culture medium from bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with the mitogens phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) or Concanavalin A (Con A) was found to maintain the proliferation of Con A blasts in vitro. The factor responsible for this activity was not absorbable with bovine erythrocytes or fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes but was removed by Con A blasts. Production of this factor was dependent on the dose of mitogen used and was greatest after 24 h culture compared to 48 h. Quantitative determinations of factor activity in supernatants were carried out by regression analysis of logit transformed data from assays measuring the maintenance of Con A blast proliferation by supernatants. 相似文献

The effect of cortisone acetate (CA) on the immune response of control and furazolidone (FZ)-fed turkey poults was investigated. CA, fed at a dose of 500 mg/kg of ration beginning at 1 week of age, decreased mortality but had little effect on the development of FZ-induced cardiomyopathy. When poults were 2 weeks of age, the in vitro stimulation of lymphocytes by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A) was significantly depressed (P less than or equal to 0.001 and P less than or equal to 0.05, respectively) in cortisone-treated poults. The time of the peak response of lymphocytes from poults 2-5 weeks of age to in vitro stimulation by PHA was significantly delayed (P less than or equal to 0.01) and the magnitude of the response was significantly depressed (P less than or equal to 0.001) in cortisone-treated poults compared with control poults. Cortisone treatment had no effect on time of peak response to Con A stimulation but significantly depressed (P less than or equal to 0.05) the magnitude of the response. Poults receiving FZ administered by gastric tube showed a peak response to PHA stimulation significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) earlier and significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) greater than did control poults. 相似文献

The effect of allopurinol pretreatment 12 hours before an intraperitoneal challenge with a sublethal dose of Escherichia coli endotoxin (50 micrograms kg-1) was evaluated in 18 horses. The horses were divided among three equal groups: 1-endotoxin alone; 2-5 mg allopurinol kg-1 bodyweight plus endotoxin; and 3-50 mg allopurinol kg-1 bodyweight plus endotoxin. A variety of evaluation parameters were used. No differences among the groups were noted in rectal temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, haematological values, blood PaO2, blood PaCO2, blood pH or blood bicarbonate. Significant (P less than 0.05) differences between the groups were noted as regards the changes in capillary refill time, base excess, blood glucose, blood lactate, blood beta-glucuronidase and recumbency time. The protection afforded by 5 mg allopurinol kg-1 appeared to be superior to that with 50 mg allopurinol kg-1. 相似文献

Twelve 9-week-old calves were divided into four groups; two groups were maintained helminth-free as controls and the other groups were given Ostertagia ostertagi infective-stage larvae (L3) orally. One group received 100,000 L3 as a single inoculum and the other group received L3 in increasing dosages at weekly intervals for 8 consecutive weeks. The blastogenic responses to concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and a soluble larval antigen from O. ostertagi (SLA) of peripheral blood lymphocytes were evaluated using tritiated thymidine incorporation into DNA as a measure of blastogenesis. The responses to Con A of all infected calves were significantly depressed while the responses to PHA were not. SLA, at concentrations of 4 micrograms ml-1 and above, caused blastogenic activity in lymphocytes from uninfected calves. Using SLA at 1 microgram ml-1 in lymphocyte cultures supplemented with autologous serum, an antigen-induced blastogenic response was detected in calves receiving serial inoculations of L3. 相似文献

The influence of allogeneic IgG on in vitro reactivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of neonatal colostrum-deprived piglets as well as of suckling and weaned piglets was studied. PBL were preincubated with purified allogeneic IgG for 24 h before their ability to respond to PHA, Con A or PWM was tested. PBL of precolostral piglets pretreated with allogeneic IgG exhibited higher response to PHA (P less than 0.01) than untreated control cells. An increased response of PBL treated with IgG was also observed in suckling piglets as compared to their respective control cells (P less than 0.01). Responsiveness of PBL treated with IgG to PWM was suppressed. No differences in response to Con A regardless of the sources of lymphocytes was observed as compared to IgG untreated controls. The results suggest that pretreatment of lymphocytes of piglets with allogeneic IgG modulates their reactivity to mitogens, suppressing the response to PWM and stimulating the response to PHA, respectively. 相似文献

The in vivo and in vitro effects of Trichinella spiralis excretory-secretory (ES) antigens on porcine peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) responses induced with mitogens (phytohemagglutinin, PHA; concanavalin A, Con A; pokeweed mitogen, PWM) or unrelated antigen (Protein A) were studied to determine whether ES antigens depress lymphocyte responses in experimental swine trichinosis, and/or if this response was manifested after lymphocytes from infected pigs had been pretreated with ES antigens. Additionally, the range of inhibition of lymphocyte responses was tested in parasite-free pigs using different doses of ES antigens and compared with the responsiveness of control cultures from the same animals. The responses of lymphocytes from pigs inoculated with 4 x 10(3) muscle larvae (ML) were strongly depressed (P < 0.05) at post-inoculation days (PID) 7 (after stimulation with PHA), 14, 35 (Con A or PWM), and 49 (PWM). At PID 56 and 63 the lymphocytes from T. spiralis-infected pigs responded better (P < 0.05) to all three mitogens than those from non-infected controls. After 7 weeks post-inoculation, PBL which were pretreated with 10 or 250 micrograms ml-1 of ES antigens showed significantly weaker (P < 0.05, P < 0.001) responses to PWM or PHA, respectively, than those from non-infected animals. The responsiveness of lymphocytes from both groups of pigs to Protein A was not affected by the pretreatment with ES antigens in vitro. The responses of lymphocytes from the parasite-free pigs induced by PHA, PWM or Protein A were strongly depressed (P < 0.01) after in vitro pretreatment regardless of the dose of ES antigens (5, 10, 15, or 20 micrograms ml-1) applied. 相似文献

Effects of dietary corticosterone on peripheral blood lymphocyte and granulocyte populations in immature domestic fowl 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Four-week-old chickens were fed on diets containing 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg corticosterone per kg for eight days. Packed cell volume (PCV), the numbers of granulocytes (G) and lymphocytes (L), the G:L ratio and plasma corticosterone concentration were measured. Plasma corticosterone concentration was increased by dietary corticosterone from day 2 onwards. The number of lymphocytes was increased by serial bleeding but dietary corticosterone depressed the response and caused a dose-related lymphocytopenia from day 1. There was a dose related increase in granulocytes from day 4 and a dose-related increase in G:L ratio from day 1. A dose-related increase in PCV was evident only on days 2 and 4. Correlation coefficients showed little evidence of relationships between plasma corticosterone concentrations and the recorded blood variables. 相似文献

A whole-blood-culture technique was used to sequentially evaluated peripheral blood lymphocyte responses to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A) of normal chickens and chickens infected at 1 day or 3 weeks of age with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). This method had numerous advantages over the more conventional techniques. A comparative study was made on the percentage of inhibition of responses of peripheral blood lymphocytes to PHA and Con A of 1-day- and 3-week-old IBDV-infected chickens. In both groups, there was a minimum inhibition between 3 and 4 weeks postinfection (PI) and a maximum inhibition at 6 weeks PI. A one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) was performed using mitomycin-C-treated cells as stimulator cells obtained from chickens of genetically different strains. Lymphocytes from the experimental birds (control, 1-day-infected, and 3-week-infected groups) were used as the responder cells. The results showed that MLR response of the IBDV-infected chickens was significantly reduced compared with those of the uninfected controls. The degree of lowered response was much more severe in chickens infected at 1 day of age than in those infected at 3 weeks of age. 相似文献

Cell-mediated immunity was studied in 21 parasite-naive dogs by transformation of peripheral lymphocytes with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), or hydatid fluid protein (HFP) at 29 days of a primary infection with Echinococcus granulosus, and by delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity to HFP at 36 days of the infection. Infection depressed significantly the ability of unstimulated cells to proliferate but enhanced the response to Con A. The lymphocytes of four dogs reacted to HFP significantly above the average, and one dog exhibited cutaneous reactivity to 0.2 micrograms of HFP. Five or 1 but not 0.2 micrograms of HFP produced non-specific skin reactions in parasite-naive dogs. The 7 dogs with the highest reactivity to PHA or Con A had significantly fewer parasites than the 7 less reactive dogs. The differences in other parasite characteristics were not significant in the 7 dogs with the greatest or smallest reactivities. Correlation tests showed an inverse correlation of PHA reactivity with establishment and maturation of parasites, of Con A reactivity with growth and maturation, and of HFP with maturation. 相似文献

A new micro-method was used to evaluate in vitro sensitivity of ovine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to different non specific mitogens (pHA, Con A, PWM) and to investigate the interest of a colorimetric assay for measurement of transformed lymphocytes.
The results showed that sheep PBL in flat-bottomed microplates responded optimally at a cell density of 8 × 106 cells/ml to PHA (2.5 μg/ml), Con A (5 μg/ml) and PWM (5 μg/ml).
The colorimetric assay using a tetrazolium salt (MTT), for measuring the transformed lymphocytes, is very well correlated with the classical method of [3H]thymidine incorporation.
This new revelation technique of the mitogenic response improve the technical value of the assay, which is more rapid and easy-to-read, without diminishing the biological value. 相似文献

Cows with subclinical mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus were subjected to subcutaneous injections with either an extract from the root of Panax ginseng CA Meyer at a dose of 8 mg/kg body weight per day for 6 days, or with saline as a control. The injection areas were checked for adverse reactions. The daily milk production was measured before and after treatment. Blood was collected for total and differential leucocyte counts, identification of lymphocyte subpopulations using flow cytometry, lymphocyte proliferation test, and neutrophil phagocytosis and oxidative burst assay. Quarter milk samples were collected for bacteriological analysis and somatic cell counts (SCC). After the end of treatment, the numbers of S. aureus-infected quarters and milk SCC tended to decrease in ginseng-treated cows. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst activity of blood neutrophils were significantly increased 1 week after ginseng treatment, but the proliferative response of blood lymphocytes did not change significantly. The number of monocytes in ginseng-injected cows was significantly higher 1 week post-treatment than pre-treatment, and the number of lymphocytes was significantly higher than pre-infusion at 2 and 3 weeks after ginseng treatment. Similar changes were not observed in the control group. The present findings indicate that ginseng treatment can activate the innate immunity of cows and may contribute to the cow's recovery from mastitis. It is therefore suggested that ginseng has a potential as a stimulator of the immune system of dairy cows. 相似文献

Recently an inherited vitamin G deficiency in the pigs presumably based on an autosomal recessive gene was decribed* Homozygotes are in contrast to heterozygotes and normal pigs unable to synthesize ascorbic acid. In an experiment comprising 3 littermate pigs, 2 homozygous and 1 heterozygous for the vitamin C deficiency gene, the influence of ascorbic acid depletion, and repletion on mitogen stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied. Ascorbic acid depletion of the vitamin C dependent pigs resulted in a rapid decline in plasma ascorbic acid. Response of lymphocytes to stimular tion with Concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohemagglutinin M (PHA) decreased more slowly reaching a minimum, which coincidedi with the occurrence of the first clinical symptoms of scurvy. Following resupplementation with vitamin C the plasma content of ascorbic acid rapidly returned to normal, while the lymphocyte response to Con A and PHA stimulation only gradually approached the initial values. The repletion with ascorbic acid caused a transitory increase in the response to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) stimulation. The significance of these findings in relation to the cellular immune system in normal pigs is discussed. 相似文献
