OBJECTIVE: To validate use of canine colonic biopsy specimens obtained via endoscopy as a source of mucosal lymphocytes (ML) for flow cytometric analysis. SAMPLE POPULATION: Mucosal biopsy specimens from 10 adult dogs. PROCEDURE: Mucosal lymphocyte subsets obtained from excised colon were compared with ML subsets obtained from biopsy specimens obtained by use of an endoscopic forceps (6 dogs). Endoscopic colonic biopsy specimens from 4 other dogs were used to define whether obtained ML were predominantly of intraepithelial or lamina propria origin. Mucosal lymphocytes were isolated and labeled, using commercially available monoclonal antibodies directed against canine cell surface antigens. Lymphocyte subsets (cytotoxic or helper T cells; B cells) were determined by use of flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS: A large number of viable ML was obtained after dissociation of the colonic epithelium from excised colon (45.5 + 21.5 X 10(6)) and endoscopic (7.2+/-3.4 X 10(6)) biopsy specimens. Lymphocyte subsets obtained with both methods were identical for each dog and consisted predominantly of intraepithelial lymphocytes, with some lymphocytes from the lamina propria. Collagenase digestion of excised colon also yielded a large number of viable lymphocytes from the lamina propria (56.7+/-20.4 X 10(6)), but collagenase digestion of endoscopic biopsy specimens was less rewarding. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A representative sample of viable intraepithelial ML is obtainable from endoscopic biopsy specimens. Flow cytometric analysis, a minimally invasive technique, can be used to study ML of client-owned animals.  相似文献

Lymphocyte subsets in canine umbilical cord blood were flow cytometrically analyzed and compared with those of the dams' peripheral blood. The proportion of CD3+ T lymphocytes, CD21+CD3- B lymphocytes, and CD3-CD21- non-T non-B lymphocytes in umbilical cord blood was 52.9%, 30.4%, and 16.7%, respectively. T lymphocyte/B lymphocyte ratio was significantly lower in the umbilical cord blood than in the dams' peripheral blood (2.1 +/- 1.4 versus 11.0 +/- 8.1, P < 0.001). In contrast, CD4+ lymphocyte/CD8+ lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher in the umbilical cord blood than in the dams' peripheral blood (7.6 +/- 2.2 versus 1.8 +/- 0.6, P<0.001). These findings clarified the phenotypic characters of canine umbilical cord blood lymphocytes.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on the productive performance, intestinal morphology and leukocyte cell subsets of piglets. Sixteen early-weaned piglets (20 ± 2 d) were distributed into two dietary treatments: 1) free access to control diet or 2) 6% SDPP in the control diet instead of soy-protein concentrate. Intestinal morphometry of the small and large intestine, haematology and immune cell flow cytometric analysis of blood, ileo-colic lymph node and ileal Peyer's patches were performed in all pigs. Although SDPP treatment did not increase growth performance, it improved feed efficiency. We observed that SDPP diminishes blood monocytes, and macrophages (SWC3+), B lymphocytes (CD21+) and γδ T cells (γδTCR+) in gut lymphoid tissues. SDPP-treated piglets also showed lower intraepithelial lymphocyte numbers and lamina propria cell density in the small and large intestine. All these results suggest lower activation of the immune system of the SDPP-piglets during the post-weaning period. Moreover, the use of SDPP can be considered a valid alternative to antibiotic growth promoters.  相似文献

The regional variation in the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in the small intestine was examined in BALB/c male and female mice and C3H/He and C57BL/6 male mice. The small intestines were taken from 11 to 12-week-old mice and divided equally into 3 parts (the proximal, middle and distal parts). IELs were isolated from each part of the intestine and analyzed with flow cytometer. The number of IELs was highest in the proximal part and lowest in the distal part. The distribution of IEL subsets was markedly different between the proximal and the distal parts, and that in the middle part showed the intermediate pattern. The percentage of alphabeta T cells were higher in the distal part. In alphabeta T cell subset, the percentage of CD8alphaalpha T cells was higher in the proximal part, whereas those of CD4 and CD4CD8alphaalpha double positive T cells were higher in the distal part. In gammadelta T cell subset, no regional variations were found. The regional variations in the number and subsets of IELs showed almost the same patterns between male and female BALB/c mice and similar patterns among three strains of mice. This strongly suggests that the regional variations in the small intestinal IELs are common to mouse species.  相似文献

We evaluated the effects of a 6% spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) and a plant extracts mixture (XT; 5% carvacrol, 3% cinnamaldehyde, and 2% capsicum oleoresin) on the productive performance, intestinal morphology, and leukocyte cell subsets of early-weaned pigs compared with a control group. Morphometry of the jejunum, ileum, and colon, and immune cell analysis of blood, ileocolic lymph node (LN), and ileal Peyer's patches were done in 24 weaned pigs (20 +/- 2 d) at 19 or 21 d postweaning. Although SDPP and XT treatments did not increase ADG or ADFI, SDPP improved the G:F ratio (P = 0.024) compared with the control group. Dietary SDPP reduced the percentages of blood monocytes (P = 0.006) and macrophages in ileal Peyer's patches and LN (P = 0.04), of B lymphocytes (P = 0.04) and gammadelta+ T cells in LN (P = 0.009), and of intraepithelial lymphocytes (P = 0.026) as well as the density of lamina propria cells in the colon (P < 0.01). Dietary XT reduced intraepithelial lymphocyte numbers in jejunum (P = 0.034) and the percentages of blood cytotoxic cells (P = 0.07) and B lymphocytes in LN (P = 0.03); however, XT increased blood monocytes (P = 0.038) and the density of lamina propria lymphocytes in the colon (P = 0.003). These results indicate that dietary SDPP and plant extracts can affect intestinal morphology and immune cell subsets of gut tissues and blood in weaned pigs. Furthermore, the effects of SDPP suggest lower activation of the immune system of the piglets.  相似文献

Postnatal development of various T-lymphocyte subpopulations expressing CD3, CD8, CD4, and antigen-specific TCR heterodimers alpha beta (TCR2) or gamma delta (TCR1) was investigated in two different inbred chicken strains, SC and TK. The ratios of jejunum T-cells expressing TCR1 to TCR2 in the intraepithelium of SC and TK strains gradually increased after hatching and were 3.40 and 4.28 by 12 weeks in TK and SC chickens respectively. The ratios of TCR1+ to TCR2(+)-cells in intraepithelium and the lamina propria in SC chickens were 0.96 and 1.23 at 8 weeks and 4.29 and 2.15 at 12 weeks, respectively. Jejunum intraepithelial lymphocytes expressing the CD8 antigen increased gradually until 4-6 weeks of age and subsequently declined as chickens aged. CD4(+)-cells represented a minor subpopulation among the intestinal lymphocyte subpopulations. Therefore, the composition of various T-cell subpopulations in the intestine depended upon host age, the regions of the gut examined and host genetic background. These results suggest that changes in T-cell subpopulations in the intestine may reflect age-related maturation of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues.  相似文献

Ileal intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) suspensions from suckling calves (1-3 weeks old) and weaned calves (3-6 months old) were phenotyped to determine whether there were differences in the lymphocyte populations consistent with postnatal maturation of the mucosal immune system. Flow cytometric comparisons of IEL from the two age groups revealed the presence of significantly larger proportions of CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD8+ T cells in the weaned animals. In contrast, there was a significantly larger proportion of B-B2+ IEL in the suckling calves. Freshly isolated IEL from both groups of calves expressed mRNA for TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, but not IL-4 or IL-10. The B-B2+ IEL population was more closely examined by flow cytometry. These cells co-expressed IgM and CD21. However, they did not express IgA, IgG1, nor any of several additional leukocyte differentiation molecules. Immunohistochemical data confirmed the presence of IgM+ lymphocytes, and the paucity of IgA+ and IgG1+ lymphocytes in suckling calf ileum. However, substantial numbers of IgA+ and IgG1+ cells were observed in weaned calf ileum. Together, the data are consistent with ongoing postnatal maturation of the gut mucosal immune system.  相似文献

Gut associated lymphoid tissue of the small and large intestine of calves and cows has been compared morphologically and quantitatively using monoclonal antibodies to bovine lymphocytes. B cells were significantly decreased in the ileum of the cow compared to the calf. Significantly increased numbers of T cells were present in cell suspensions of all lymphoid areas of the cow compared to the calf. T lymphocyte subsets were quantified into cryostat sections of lymphoid tissues expressing BoT4, and BoT8 antigens demonstrated increased numbers in follicular and dome areas of the discrete Peyer's patches of the small and large intestine of the cow. BoT4+, BoT8+, and the non-BoT4/BoT8+ T cell subsets were increased in the mucosa of the cow as compared to the calf. Similarities in structure and lymphocyte composition of the discrete Peyer's patches of the small intestine, cecum and colon and isolated single follicles in the large intestine suggest similar functional properties.  相似文献

CD56+ cells in canine blood leukocytes were characterized by flow-cytometric analysis of peripheral blood of 30 healthy adult beagle-dogs (15 males and 15 non-pregnant females). In 19 of the 30 dogs, anti human CD56 antibody, Leu-19, reacted with 8.8-21.7% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. All CD56+ cells simultaneously expressed CD3 molecules on their surface. Further phenotypic analysis revealed that 50.6+/-13.1% of the CD56+ cells showed CD4-CD8+ phenotype and 43.7+/-10.1% showed CD4+CD8- phenotype. Expression intensity of CD56 on the CD4-CD8+CD56+ cells was significantly higher than that on CD4+CD8-CD56+ cells (P<0.001). These findings indicate that CD56, which is a neural cell adhesion molecule, is uniquely expressed on subsets of T lymphocytes in canine peripheral blood.  相似文献

The interaction between fractalkine/CX(3)CL1 and its receptor CX(3)CR1 has been reported to play an important role in various human inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mediated by lymphocyte chemoattraction. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of fractalkine and CX(3)CR1 in lymphocyte migration in canine IBD. IBD was diagnosed in 34 dogs, and 19 healthy beagles were used as normal controls. We quantified intestinal mRNA and protein expression of fractalkine and CX(3)CR1 by real-time RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively, and examined the localization of fractalkine in canine intestine by immunohistochemistry. The expression of CX(3)CR1 and surface antigens on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Intestinal fractalkine and CX(3)CR1 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in IBD dogs compared with the healthy control dogs. In addition, fractalkine expression on intestinal epithelial cells was significantly increased in the intestinal mucosa of IBD dogs compared with the healthy dogs. CX(3)CR1(+) PBMCs were significantly elevated in IBD dogs and positively correlated with the histopathological severity of IELs infiltration. These CX(3)CR1(+) PBMCs predominantly expressed markers for cytotoxic T cells. Almost all IELs expressed CD3, and the majority of cells expressed CD8 rather than CD4, which was analogous to the CX(3)CR1(+) PBMCs. These results suggest that the fractalkine-CX(3)CR1 interaction may contribute to the pathogenesis of canine IBD through migration of IELs.  相似文献

A modification of a previously reported enzymatic technique was used to isolate 60% to 90% pure populations of viable lymphocytes from canine small intestinal mucosa. Mitogenesis assays were then simultaneously performed on these and isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes from the same dogs. A technique to isolate intraepithelial lymphocytes was not successful. Intestinal mucosal lymphocytes were simultaneously purified by 2 different techniques (suspensions B and C), which produced cell populations that responded similarly to phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A, and pokeweed mitogens. The peripheral blood lymphocytes demonstrated greater response to PHA and concanavalin A mitogens than did the intestinal mucosal lymphocytes (P less than 0.05). Furthermore, peripheral blood lymphocytes had a significantly higher response to PHA than to pokeweed mitogen (P less than 0.05). The impure preparation of intraepithelial lymphocytes (suspension A) did not show any evidence of reactivity to mitogens. Further studies are needed to determine whether the EDTA or collagenase had any effect upon the intestinal mucosal lymphocyte responsiveness. The present study demonstrated that viable mucosal lymphocytes can be isolated from the canine intestine and that they can maintain their responsiveness to mitogens.  相似文献

Lymphoma is a common cancer of dogs that frequently is treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Response to therapy is variable and currently available diagnostic tests do not reliably predict response to therapy. Treatment for lymphoma often results in lymphopenia, but it is unknown whether the changes in circulating lymphocytes result from generalized or specific reduction of lymphocytes. In this study, blood lymphocytes from 12 clinically healthy dogs, 10 dogs in remission because of treatment for B-cell lymphoma, and 8 dogs in remission from T-cell lymphoma were analyzed by flow cytometry by using a panel of 20 antibodies reactive with canine leukocyte antigens. Results identified similar lymphocyte parameters in treated dogs regardless of the type of lymphoma. Treated dogs had >50% reduction in blood lymphocyte concentration, and an absolute decrease in most subsets of lymphocytes. Both groups of treated dogs had relative increases in the proportion of CD3+, T-cell receptor (TCR)αβ+, and CD90+ lymphocytes, and a decreased proportion of CD45RA+ cells. In addition, dogs with T-cell lymphoma in remission had a significant increase in the proportion of CD49d+ lymphocytes. These findings were interpreted as representing likely suppression of lymphocyte regeneration by chemotherapy, with a relative increase in the proportion of memory over naïve lymphocytes. Lack of correlation with the T- or B-cell origin of the initial lymphoma suggested that, by using flow cytometric methods, residual circulating neoplastic cells could not be detected. However, the changes in the lymphocyte profile of dogs treated with chemotherapy may have relevance to their immunocompetence.  相似文献

Canine leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum is endemic in the foxhound population in North America. Studies of canine leishmaniasis in the Mediterranean basin indicate a role for both CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes with clinical illness and in asymptomatic dogs. Limited information is available on the strain of L. infantum infecting foxhounds in North America. The present study investigated changes in cellular immune responses in dogs experimentally infected with 1x10(7) (low dose, LD; N=4) or 2x10(8) (high dose, HD; N=4) promastigotes of a United States isolate of L. infantum and control dogs (N=2) for 72 weeks. Density gradient separation was used to enrich for peripheral blood lymphocytes from canine blood. Lymphocyte subsets (CD4+ and CD8+) were quantified by flow cytometric analysis. Lymphocyte population expression levels over the course of the present study were compared to clinical status of the dog and antibody responses in infected and control dogs. No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in either CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocyte expression in of the groups over the experimental period. This study suggests that the cellular immune responses to North American L. infantum in experimentally infected dogs may differ from other strains of L. infantum.  相似文献

The occurrence and distribution of lymphoid follicles within the stomachs of 36 dogs that dis not have macroscopic gastric lesions are presented. The dogs ranged in age from less than 1 year to over 13 years. The number of follicles varied between the different regions of the stomach, being most numerous (15.6 follicles cm−2) and uniform in size (about 1 mm in diameter) in the fundus. The number and size of follicles in the antrum varied widely between dogs. Age-related changes in the distribution of follicles were not found following simple linear regression analysis. The phenotypes of lymphocytes in gastric lymphoid follicles of nine dogs aged from less than 1 year to 5 years were determined using monoclonal antibodies specific for canine leucocyte antigens and an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The follicles had an organized distribution of lymphocytes subsets in that a predominantly B cell area contained some CD4+ cells and very few CD8+ cells and was adjacent to an area containing mostly T cells. Computer-assisted morphometric analysis was used to quantify the overall presence of the various lymphocyte subpopulations. Follicles in the fundus and body regions possessed similar percentages of lymphocytes averaging 42%, 22% and 3% of the area occupied by B cells, CD4+ and CD8+ cells, respectively. It is concluded that lymphoid follicles are a normal constituent of the canine gastric mucosa and possess a lymphocyte composition similar to that reported by others for solitary intestinal follicles.  相似文献

A panel of five murine monoclonal antibodies to canine T-lymphocytes were produced. Antibodies 4.78, 12.125 and 8.358 reacted with approximately 18%, 39% and 60% peripheral blood lymphocytes, respectively. Two color flow cytometric analysis showed that lymphocytes expressing 1.140, 4.78, 8.53 and 12.125 were subsets of lymphocytes expressing 8.358. The lymphocytes expressing 8.358 were negative for surface immunoglobulin. The subsets defined by 1.140, 4.78 or 8.53, 12.125 were mutually exclusive and together account for most cells expressing 8.358 in the peripheral blood, spleen, and lymph node. In the thymus, approximately 47% cells were positive for both 1.140/4.78 and 8.53/12.125. SDS-PAGE analysis of radiolabelled thymus cell lysates demonstrated that antibodies 1.140 and 4.78 immunoprecipitated a 32,35 kd heterodimer under reducing conditions and 12.125 immunoprecipitated a single 56 kd chain under reducing and non-reducing conditions. Antibodies 8.53/12.125 and 1.140/4.78 react with canine lymphocyte populations that occur in proportions similar to lymphocytes expressing CD4 and CD8 like molecules in several primate and non-primate species. The molecules recognized by 12.125 and 1.140/4.78 were similar in size and subunit composition to human CD4 and CD8.  相似文献

In a feeding trial, sows and piglets were fed with the probiotic bacterium Bacillus cereus var. toyoi as a feed additive, and the effects on immune cell populations were examined. The development of the gut immune system was determined for piglets at the ages of 14, 28, 35 and 56 days post partum. Tissue samples of the Jejunum and the continuous Peyer's patch were used for enumeration of intraepithelial lymphocyte populations by fluorescence activated flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Both independent methods of investigation led to similar results: the population of intraepithelial CD8+ T cells was significantly enhanced in the probiotic group piglets (p ≤ 0.05), and the numbers of γδ T cells tended to be higher in the intestinal epithelium (p < 0.1) at the time of weaning (day 28). Lamina propria lymphocytes were also influenced by the treatment. Application of B. cereus var. toyoi resulted in significantly more CD25+ lymphocytes and γδ T cells in the probiotic group post-weaning. The occurrence of pathogenic Escherichia coli serogroups was also less frequent in the feces of piglets from the probiotic group. The finding that the CD8+ T cell population in the intestinal mucosa showed changes on day 28 indicated that the influence of B. cereus var. toyoi supplementation on the intestinal immune system started before weaning, an observation supported by changes in the intestinal microflora observed during the suckling-period. The results suggest that feeding of B. cereus var. toyoi to sows may result in beneficial effects on piglet health status independent of their feed supplementation.  相似文献

A longitudinal study of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets from 7 to 15 months of age was performed in Beagle dogs employing a multiparametric flow cytometry. The data were compared with data obtained from adult Beagle dogs that were housed in the same animal facilities and that were subjected to the same controls during the 34 weeks of the study. Absolute counts of total lymphocytes and CD3+ T, CD3+CD4+ Th and CD21+ B lymphocytes decreased during the entire 34 weeks period of the study in the young dogs group. The same was observed with regard to the percentage of CD3+CD4+ Th lymphocytes and the CD4/CD8 ratio, while the percentage of CD3+CD8+ Tc lymphocytes increased from 7 to 15 months of age. These age-related changes found in lymphocyte subsets distribution of young dogs led to level the absolute and relative values of adult dog lymphocytes. The observations of this longitudinal study illustrate the changes related to maturation of lymphocyte subsets that occur during early life in Beagle dogs.  相似文献

In search for an alternative for nutritional antimicrobials in piglet feeding, the effects of adding whole Cuphea seeds, as a natural source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), with known antimicrobial effects, and an exogenous lipase to a weaner diet were studied. The foregut flora, the gut morphology, some digestive parameters and the zootechnical performance of weaned piglets were investigated. Thirty newly weaned piglets, initial weight 7.0 +/- 0.4 kg, were divided according to litter, sex and weight in two groups (control diet; Cuphea + lipase diet). The Cuphea seeds (lanceolata and ignea) (50 g kg(-1)) were substituted for soybean oil (15 g kg(-1)), Alphacell (25 g kg(-1)) and soy protein isolate (10 g kg(-1)) in the control diet. Also 500 mg kg(-1) microbial lipase was added to the Cuphea diet. The piglets were weighted individually on days 0, 3. 7, 14 and 16. Feed intake was recorded per pen during days 0 to 3, 3 to 7, 7 to 14 and 14 to 16. On day 7 five piglets of each experimental group were euthanized for counting the gastric and small intestinal gut flora and for gut morphology at two sites of the small intestine (proximal, distal). The results indicate a trend towards improved performances parameters by feeding Cuphea + lipase. The enzymic released MCFA (1.7 g kg(-1) fresh gastric contents) tended to decrease the number of Coliforms in the proximal small intestine, but increased the number in the stomach and distal small intestine. With Culphea, the number of Streptococci was significantly lower in small intestine, but not in the stomach, while the number of Lactobacilli was significantly lower in the distal small intestine and tended to be lower in the stomach and proximal small intestine. No differences between the diets were noted for the total anaerobic microbial load in the stomach or in the gut. Feeding Cuphea + lipase resulted in a significantly greater villus height (distal small intestine) and a lesser crypt depth (proximal and distal small intestine) and greater villus/crypt ratio depth (proximal and distal small intestine). The intra-epithelial lymphocyte (IEL) counts per 100 enterocytes were significantly decreased in the proximal small intestine and tended to decrease in the distal small intestine by feeding the Cuphea + lipase diet. Both phenomena are indicative for a more healthy and better functional state of the mucosa. Present results are in line with foregoing research, showing that manipulation of the gut ecosystem by the enzymic in situ released MCFA in the stomach and foregut can result in improved performances of the piglets, which makes the concept a potential alternative for in-feed nutritional antibiotics.  相似文献

Available data on the normal levels of white blood cell populations in healthy rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) originated and living in China is scanty. To obtain such data, blood samples from 150 Chinese rhesus macaques were collected and the normal range of white blood cells and their subsets were analyzed according to age and sex by flow cytometry. CBC data showed that the count of total white blood cells and lymphocytes decreased with age. Phenotypic analysis of CD4 and CD8 expression on CD3+ T lymphocytes showed that the percentage of CD4+ T cells (51.4+/-9.6%), CD4-CD8- T cells (8.5+/-4.1%) and the ratio of CD4+ T to CD8+ T cells (1.26+/-0.55) decreased with age; and the percentage of CD8+ T cells (42.0+/-9.7%), CD4+CD8+ T cells (1.3+/-0.9%) and CD3+ lymphocytes (55.3+/-13.3%) increased with age. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the male and female groups in most parameters in these monkeys except for the percentage of CD4+CD8+ T cells. This study provided basic information about blood cell count and T lymphocyte subsets in Chinese rhesus macaques. It may be useful for comparative studies using Indian and Chinese rhesus macaques.  相似文献
