Both bovine peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) and myeloid DC from afferent lymph have been described, but resident DC from other bovine tissues have not been fully characterized. The spleen as a secondary lymphoid organ is central to the innate and acquired immune response to various diseases particularly hemoprotozoan infections like babesiosis. Therefore, we developed methods to demonstrate the presence of myeloid DC from the spleen of cattle and have partially characterized a DC population as well as another myeloid cell population with monocyte characteristics. The phenotypic profile of each population was CD13+CD172a+/-CD14-CD11a-CD11b+/-CD11c+ and CD172a+CD13+/-CD14+CD11a-CD11b+/-CD11c+, respectively. The CD13+ population was found exclusively in the spleen whereas the CD172a+ population was present at the same percentage in the spleen and peripheral blood. CD13+ cells developed a typical veiled appearance when in culture for 96 h. The two cell populations differed in their ability to produce nitric oxide and had a different pattern of cytokine mRNA when stimulated with Mycobacterium bovis BCG or Babesia bovis merozoites. The data demonstrate the presence of a myeloid splenic DC with attributes consistent with an immature status.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen presenting cells specializing in antigen uptake and processing, and play an important role in the innate and adaptive immune response. A subset of bovine peripheral blood DCs was identified as CD172a+/CD11c+/MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II+ cells. Although DCs are identified at 0.1%–0.7% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), the phenotype and function of DCs remain poorly understood with regard to maintaining tolerance during the pregnancy. All cattle used in this study were 1 month before parturition. We have established a novel method for the purification of DCs from PBMC using magnetic‐activated cell sorting, and purified the CD172a+/CD11c+ DCs, with high expression of MHC class II and CD40, at 84.8% purity. There were individual differences in the expressions of CD205 and co‐stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 on DCs. There were positive correlations between expression of cytokine and co‐stimulatory molecules in DCs, and the DCs maintained their immune tolerance, evidenced by their low expressions of the co‐stimulatory molecules and cytokine production. These results suggest that before parturition a half of DCs may be immature and tend to maintain tolerance based on the low cytokine production, and the other DCs with high co‐stimulatory molecules may already have the ability of modulating the T‐cell linage.  相似文献

An unusual population of leukocytes was observed in the peripheral blood of a cow with a large tumor burden, using flow microfluorimetry. This new population accounted for 50% of the total cells in the peripheral blood of this animal. These cells expressed the p150,95 molecule (bovine CD11c equivalent), identified by the monoclonal antibody C5B6, a molecule found on myeloid cells and activated lymphocytes. The new population did not express the pan T molecules BoCD2 (the bovine T11 equivalent), BoCD5 (the bovine CD5 equivalent) or surface IgM. Isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells maintained in bulk culture were able to kill autologous tumor cells and BHV-1 infected A549 in an NK-like assay. In vitro cytotoxicity by cells cultured from the peripheral blood of this animal was augmented 2- to 4-fold by the addition of IL-2.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) act as antigen presenting cells that bridge innate and adaptive immune systems with the unique capacity to initiate primary T-cell responses and efficiently stimulate memory responses. In pig, little information is available about these cells in secondary lymphoid organs, the place where T cell activation usually occurs. As increased knowledge on DC is a necessary prerequisite to further understand their role in response to microbial infection or in protection after vaccination, we investigated the DC types that would be present in tonsil, spleen and non-subcutaneous lymph nodes in the steady state. One population was composed of CD172a(+)CD11R1(+)CD1(+/-)CD80/86(+/-) cells and would correspond to conventional DCs (cDC), while the other one was composed of CD172a(+)CD4(+)CD1(+/-)CD80/86(+/-) cells and would correspond to plasmacytoid DCs (pDC). These subsets were also detected in blood but spleen was the tissue with the higher frequency of such DCs. In lymphoid organs, most of cDC and pDC were in an immature status, as revealed by the low percentage of cells expressing the co-stimulatory molecule CD80/86. However, expression of that marker by 5% of DCs in organs and up to 15% in blood, together with lower expression of CD1a and expression of CD208, would indicate a partial activation and/or semi-maturation. Interestingly, 8% of tonsil pDC and 15% of blood pDC were shown to secrete IFN-alpha, while 18-20% of cDC expressed TNF-alpha in these tissues. Both cell types also expressed IL-12 and IL-10 in the steady state. Measurements of IFN-alpha, TNF-alpha, IL-12 and IL-10 levels in serum confirmed their production within immune homeostasis, whereas IL-6, IL-18 and IFN-gamma could not be detected. Altogether, these data complete knowledge on porcine immune system cells and will be a useful tool for further in vivo studies on porcine DC role in peripheral tolerance induction and in immune responses to pathogens.  相似文献

Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica A1 produces an extracellular leukotoxin (LKT) that is reported to bind the beta(2)-integrin CD11a/CD18 (LEA-1) on ruminant leukocytes. LKT binding induces activation, and subsequent cytolysis, of these cells. It is well known that active viral infection greatly increases the susceptibility of cattle to pasteurellosis. To better understand the mechanism by which this occurs, we investigated the effects of experimental in vivo infection of cattle with bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1) on the ex vivo interaction of bovine leukocytes with the M. haemolytica LKT. In this study, we demonstrated that active BHV-1 infection increased the expression of the beta(2)-integrin CD11a/CD18 (as defined by the mAb BAT75) on bovine peripheral blood neutrophils, enhanced the binding of LKT to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) leukocytes and peripheral blood neutrophils, and increased the killing of BAL leukocytes and peripheral blood leukocytes by LKT. In addition, BHV-1 greatly increased the number of BAL, resulting in many more LKT-responsive cells being present in the lungs. These findings might explain in part the increased susceptibility of BHV-1 infected cattle to pneumonic pasteurellosis.  相似文献

The expression of Kit, the receptor for stem cell factor (SCF), on bovine peripheral blood cells (PBCs) was examined by using monoclonal antibodies against the bovine Kit protein. Flow cytometric analysis showed that approximately 1.5% of PBCs expressed Kit. In cytospin preparations, the morphology of most Kit+ PBCs was similar to that of large lymphocytes. Subsets of Kit+ PBCs coexpressed CD3, IgM, and/or CD11b but not CD14 or G1. SCF did not induce the proliferation of Kit+ PBCs in vitro. These results indicate that Kit is expressed on subsets of lymphocytes in bovine peripheral blood, but the ligand of Kit, SCF, does not directly induce the proliferation of this cell population.  相似文献

This study reports on the functional characteristics of a bovine T-cell differentiation antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 8C11. This mAb has previously been found to react with a 67-kD molecule shared by thymocytes and peripheral blood T cells and to be undetectable on the B cells of healthy animals. This antigen is also largely expressed on the B cells from bovine leukemia virus-infected animals. Molecules with a similar cell distribution have been described in other species (mouse, human, rat and sheep), and were termed CD5 molecules. In order to confirm the CD5-like nature of the target molecule recognized by 8C11, functional T-cell assays were carried out. We report here that this mAb, like its human and murine homologues, enhances the proliferative responses of T cells to mitogens or alloantigens but does not directly stimulate T-cell division. Moreover, we have shown an enhancing effect of this 8C11 mAb on bovine interleukin-2 production by concanavalin A-stimulated bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells of fundamental importance in initiating innate as well as specific immune responses. The identity and function of DCs in the cat are unknown, although they are likely pivotal in the response to infection. In this study, feline DCs were derived by 3-10-day culture of adherent blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) in the presence of IL 4 and GM-CSF. BMMC consistently yielded a greater number of DCs than PBMC, and there were fewer macrophages than DC from both compartments. DCs expressed a distinct constellation of surface molecules, which included CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c, CD11b, CD14, and 2-3-fold higher levels of MHC class I and II molecules than co-cultured macrophages or fresh blood monocytes. DCs displayed typical cytoplasmic processes, limited non-specific esterase activity, and acquired antigen by phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and binding to specific receptors. Cytokine-exposed cells induced proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes. Thus, the cells derived by these culture conditions had markers and functions analogous to immature myeloid DCs. Availability of feline DCs will enable investigation of their role in infectious disease and their potential therapeutic application.  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

Monoclonal antibodies have been derived which detect the bovine equivalents of the human pan-T cell marker CD2 and the T lymphocyte subpopulation markers CD4 and CD8. We refer to the bovine analogues as BoT2, BoT4 and BoT8. Monoclonal antibodies have also been derived which detect an antigen(s) with similarities to CD3, although the precise nature of the target molecule(s) in this instance remains to be elucidated. In general there is close similarity between the tissue distributions and, where these have been determined, the molecular masses of the BoT2, BoT4, BoT8 and putative BoT3 entities and their counterparts in other species. BoT2 is expressed on a majority of peripheral blood T lymphocytes and thymocytes and BoT2+ cells are found in both thymic cortex and medulla. In contrast, the putative BoT3 marker is expressed by a minority of thymocytes which are moreover, largely restricted to medulla. Monoclonal antibodies detecting BoT2 determinants have been shown to precipitate 55 kDa molecules. Antibodies to the BoT2 and BoT3 entities have been shown to induce proliferation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of some cattle, and to be capable of inhibition of antigen-driven proliferative responses and cytolytic function. The BoT4 and BoT8 markers are expressed in a mutually exclusive manner by bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells but they are coexpressed on a large population of thymocytes. Monoclonal antibodies have been used to precipitate molecules of 52 and 55 kDa in the case of those detecting BoT4 and 34 and 35 kDa in the case of an antibody reactive with a BoT8 determinant. The BoT4 and BoT8 markers have been associated with specificity for, and restriction by, MHC class II and class I molecules respectively.  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

MCP/CD46 is a widely distributed C3b/C4b binding regulatory glycoprotein of the complement system that has been identified on all human peripheral blood cells except erythrocytes. In this paper, we describe the identification of bovine CD46 on all blood cells, including erythrocytes, with the newly prepared monoclonal antibody IVA-520. This antibody cross-reacts with human and pig cells. Furthermore, the molecule identified by IVA-520 functionally behaves as the MCP molecule, showing cofactor activity for the factor I-mediated cleavage of bovine C3 complement factor.  相似文献

The nasal mucosa surface is continuously confronted with a broad variety of environmental antigens, ranging from harmless agents to potentially harmful pathogens. This area is under rigorous control of professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. Mucosal APCs play a crucial role in inducing primary immune responses and the establishment of an immunological memory. In the present study, a detailed characterization of CD172a+ cells, containing the APCs residing in the equine nasal mucosa was performed for the first time. CD172a+ cells were isolated from collagenase-treated equine nasal mucosa fragments by MACS. Expression of surface markers was determined by flow cytometry and functional analysis was done by measuring the uptake of FITC conjugated ovalbumin (FITC-OVA). Cell surface phenotype of the isolated cells was as follows: 90% CD172a+, 30% CD1c+, 46% CD83+, 42% CD206+ and 28% MHC II+. This clearly differs from the phenotype of blood-derived monocytes: 96% CD172a+, 4% CD1c+, 11% CD83+, 9% CD206+, 72% MHC II+ and blood monocyte derived DCs: 99% CD172a+, 13% CD1c+, 30% CD83+, 51% CD206+ and 93% MHC II+. The CD172a+ nasal mucosal cells were functionally able to endocytose FITC-OVA but to a lesser degree than monocyte-derived DCs. Together, these results demonstrate that the isolated CD172a+ nasal mucosal cells resemble immature DCs in the nasal area.  相似文献

The presence and numbers of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) infected CD11b+ leukocytes were investigated during experimental infections of New Zealand White rabbits by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) analysis. Peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) were collected every second day, and the cells were stained with phycoerythrin-labelled CD11b-specific mouse monoclonal antibody and fluorescein-conjugated bovine herpesvirus 4-specific mouse monoclonal antibody. The numbers of double-stained cells from PBLs of the control and inoculated groups were measured and compared in FACSTREK analyser. Double-stained cells were detected in the virus-inoculated group on postinoculation days (PID) 2-5 and 9-12. The results indicated that CD11b+ PBLs were permissive for BoHV-4 infection, and are probably the main reservoir of the virus during the latent period. The data did not indicate production of infectious viral particles, but virus-specific proteins were expressed on the surface of CD11b+ cells. The two waves of double-stained cells gave similar results to the PCR assays from serum samples, which showed the presence of viral DNA in the serum on the same days when virus-infected CD11b cells were also present. Productive BoHV-4 infection of mast cells or undifferentiated leukocytes in the bone marrow and the antiviral immune response might be responsible for this periodic appearance of the virus in CD11b+ PBLs and in the serum. The paper provides evidence that CD11b+ PBLs are the main target cell populations in the blood for BoHV-4.  相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been reported to be associated with the progression of lymphoproliferative neoplastic diseases and retroviral infections. Hence we examined immunohistochemically the expression patterns of TNF-receptors (TNF-RI and RII) on lymphoma cells derived from the 29 cases of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL). Lymphomas obtained in 29 animals with EBL were histopathologically classified into three types: diffuse mixed type (10 cases), diffuse large type (9 cases), and diffuse large cleaved type (10 cases). Immunohistochemically using a monoclonal antibody to a bovine lymphocyte surface antigen, the lymphomas were classified into three phenotypes: B-1a (CD5+/CD11b+), B-1b (CD5-/CD11b+) and B-2 (conventional B) (CD5-/CD11b-). Interestingly, the lymphoma cells in all animals expressed TNF-RII, but not TNF-RI. Although, in EBL, lymphoma cells of which the histopathological and immunological property differs has been formed, the expression patterns of TNF-Rs had the universality in all lymphoma cells. TNF-RII, which induces cell proliferation, was expressed but TNF-RI, which induces cell apoptosis was not expressed on all lymphoma cells, suggesting that TNF-Rs play an important role in the malignant proliferation of B cells and formation of lymphomas in EBL.  相似文献

Eight lambs which were experimentally infected with bovine respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) when they were six to eight weeks old were challenged with the same virus seven months later. After reinfection, lambs developed mild clinical disease and the virus was isolated from nasal swabs from three lambs and peripheral blood from two lambs. Reinfection resulted in changes in peripheral blood cell populations. There was an early increase in the number of CD8+ T lymphocytes and B (LCA p220+) lymphocytes but the proportions of CD4+ and CD4-CD8- T lymphocytes were significantly reduced. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from lambs reinfected with bovine RSV showed significantly higher responses to bovine RSV antigen in vitro than those obtained from control lambs but their responses to the mitogen phytohaemagglutinin were significantly lower than in control lambs. RSV-specific IgG, IgM and IgA levels of serum samples obtained 10 days after challenge were significantly higher than those of serum samples obtained before challenge.  相似文献

Two new monoclonal antibodies (CC17 and CC29) raised against bovine thymocytes are described. The antibodies, both of which were IgG1, recognize a molecule of approximately 67,000 molecular weight on bovine T cells. They react T cells in peripheral blood, the lymph node paracortex and the periateriolar lymphoid sheath in the spleen. Both the cortex and medulla of the thymus are stained but the medulla reacts more intensely. They do not stain B cells in peripheral blood, the ileal Peyer's patch, the cortex or the primary follicles in lymph nodes. No activity was found on cells outside the lymphoid system, i.e. monocytes, alveolar macrophages or endothelial and epithelial tissue. The antigen recognized is considered to be the bovine homologue of CD5 (T1) in humans and Lyt1 in mice. The mAbs appear to be particularly useful for detecting cells in the peripheral blood of young calves which are of the T cell lineage but do not express BoT2 or the mature pan T cell antigen recognized by mAb IL-A27 and may thus allow identification of a population of bovine lymphocytes previously described as null cells.  相似文献

BackgroundCancer profoundly affects immunity and causes immunosuppression that contributes to tumor escape, metastases and resistance to therapy. The mechanisms by which cancer cells influence immune cells are not fully known but both innate and adaptive immune cells can be altered by cancer. Myeloid cells are innate immune cells that comprise the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS) and include monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and their progenitors. Myeloid cells play important roles in both the promotion and regulation of immune responses. Dysregulated myeloid cells are increasingly being recognized as contributing to cancer-related immunosuppression. This study investigated whether soluble factors produced by canine tumor cells inhibited canine myeloid cell function.MethodsThese studies investigated the utility of using the canine DH82 cell line for assessment of canine myeloid responses to tumor-derived soluble factors (TDSFs). Phenotypic comparisons to canine bone marrow-derived DCs (BM-DCs) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BM-MΦs) were performed and expression of myeloid cell markers CD11b, CD11c, CD80, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II were evaluated by flow cytometry. Phenotypic and functional changes of DC populations were then determined following exposure to tumor-conditioned media (TCM) from canine osteosarcoma, melanoma and mammary carcinoma cell lines.ResultsWe found that the canine BM-DCs and the DH82 cell line shared similar CD11b, CD11c and MHC II expression and morphologic characteristics that were distinct from canine BM-MΦs. Myeloid cells exposed to TDSFs showed decreased expression of MHC class II and CD80, had reduced phagocytic activity and suppressed the proliferation of responder immune cells.ConclusionThese results show that soluble factors secreted from canine tumor cells suppress the activation and function of canine myeloid cells. Our results suggest that, similar to humans, dysregulated myeloid cells may contribute to immunosuppression in dogs with cancer.  相似文献

We investigated the distribution of B and T cells in the peripheral blood of haematologically inconspicuous (non-persistent lymphocytotic, PL-) cattle infected with the bovine leukaemia virus (BLV). Flow cytometric data were obtained from six PL- cattle and compared with six age-matched animals with persistent lymphocytosis (PL+) and five non-infected healthy controls (BLV-). In the PL- group, the percentage and number of surface immunoglobulin-positive (sIg+) B cells were significantly reduced. Whereas in BLV-cattle, about 40% of the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were sIg + and 24% were sIgM + B cells. In the PL- group, less than 20% of the PBL were sIg+ and sIgM+ B cells. Only 5% of the PBL co-expressed sIgM+ and CD5+ versus 16% in BLV-. This decrease was persistent over 3 years and predominantly affected: (i) B cells that did not express sIgM; (ii) sIgM + B cells co-expressing CD5 and CD11b; and (iii) equally both lambda- and K-type light chain B-cell subpopulations. In contrast, the number of all circulating lymphocytes, CD5- and CD11b- sIgM+ B cells and CD2+ T cells did not differ. In PL+ animals, about 75% of the PBL were sIgM+ CD5+ B cells. These cells were of polyclonal origin, as light chains of the lambda- and K-type were expressed in a ratio of 4:1 (57.7% of PBL lambda+, 14% kappa+) as in BLV- animals (33.6% of PBL lambda+, 8.7% kappa+). In PL+ cattle the absolute number of B-cells and, therefore, their relative percentage is significantly increased. For this reason, even in case of absolutely increased T-cell numbers, the relative percentage of T-cells could be lower than in normal controls. The cause for the observed B cell decrease in PL- cattle is unknown, but it can be assumed that cytotoxic T cells are involved in this B-cell lymphopenia.  相似文献
