Bovine antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) effector cells   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
ADCC effector cells from bovine blood were separated by centrifugation, adherence and rosetting techniques. Each enriched cell population, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM), null lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils, was then examined for its capacity to mediate ADCC. Utilizing heterologous sensitizing antisera it was found that monocytes had approximately twice the ADCC activity of null lymphocytes and that neutrophils had essentially no activity. However, when homologous sensitizing antisera were used it was found that neutrophils possessed the greatest activity followed by monocytes and null cells. Results confirm the existence of an ADCC active null lymphocyte in the bovine.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterise the morphology of cells from the blood of otariid seals. METHODS: Examination of blood by light and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Erythrocytes were typically discocytes. Leukocytes that were recognised included neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. The morphology varied little between species for neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. Some variation between species was observed for eosinophils and basophils. Platelets were generally aggregated. CONCLUSION: This study provides a guide for the identification of cells from the blood of otariid seals.  相似文献

Virus yields from porcine alveolar macrophages (AM) infected with African swine fever virus (ASFV) were greater and were achieved more rapidly, when inoculated at a high multiplicity of infection (MOI) than at low MOI. The difference was related to a lower percentage of cells becoming infected after low MOI inoculation. The reduced yields after low MOI were not caused by prolongation of the culture time, by bacterial endotoxins or by production of inhibitory substances by infected AM. Virus-infected AM were not susceptible to lysis in antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays and this was apparently due to a paucity of viral antigen expressed on the cell surface. Uninfected AM did not act as effectors in ADCC.Porcine bone marrow (PBM) cells were effective in mediation of ADCC and their activity was reduced after ASFV infection. Cells separated into adherent and non-adherent populations, depleted by carbonyl iron treatment or separated by Ficoll-Hypaque centrifugation, all showed effector activity in ADCC. The effector cells were not mature neutrophils or lymphocytes and were probably granulocytic precursors.  相似文献

The effects of Moraxella bovis on the morphologic features of purified bovine neutrophils and bovine corneal epithelial cells were examined, using transmission and scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Within 2 minutes after incubation of bovine neutrophils with living M bovis, electron microscopic cellular changes included vacuolation, swelling, and loss of microplicae. Most of the neutrophils were lysed by 10 minutes of incubation. Human neutrophils phagocytosed the M bovis and remained intact, even after 30 minutes of incubation with the bacteria. Living M bovis killed bovine corneal epithelial cells in vitro. Sterile filtrates prepared from 6-hour shaker cultures of M bovis also killed bovine corneal epithelial cells, but the cytotoxic activity was less than that produced by the living bacteria. Cellular changes were first observed in specimens collected 1 hour after corneal cell monolayers were inoculated with sterile culture filtrates. The changes in these cells included pit-like lesions on the cellular surface, cellular separation, and vacuolation.  相似文献

The morphology of six strains of Mycoplasma iowae was studied at various stages of growth by scanning electron and light microscopy. The six strains, which formerly represented avian mycoplasmal serotypes I, J, K, N, Q, and R, produced filaments and branching filaments, sometimes with centrally or terminally located bulbous swellings. During cell division, the filaments appeared to develop into chains of coccal, coccobacillary, and elongated cells. Mycoplasmas that appeared as chains of cocci under light microscopy were often observed as coccobacillary or fusiform when viewed with scanning electron microscopy. The morphology of single or paired cells of all strains included cocci, rods, coccobacilli, and pleomorphic forms. Fusiform and teardrop-shaped cells with bleb-like structures were also observed. Some cells of all strains deteriorated by the latter growth stages, forming clumps of flattened irregular-shaped cells, sometimes intertwined with fragmented filaments. The formation of filaments, branching filaments, and the other cell morphology indicated that the six strains of M. iowae were similar in morphology and growth characteristics.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat of Southeast Asia and is considered extremely endangered. Little is known about the hematologic values, blood cell morphology, or hemoparasites of this species in relation to other Felidae. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to report basic hematologic values and describe the light microscopic, cytochemical, and ultrastructural characteristics of blood cells in 2 wild-caught flat-headed cats. In addition, molecular analysis was done of a Hepatozoon organism found in the neutrophils of both cats. METHODS: Blood samples were collected into EDTA from the cephalic vein. A CBC, manual differential count, manual reticulocyte count, cytochemical stains (Sudan black B [SBB], alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase [ANAE], and beta-glucuronidase), and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were done using standard methods. RESULTS: HCT was slightly lower and reticulocyte counts and red cell distribution width were higher than the expected values for other species of cats. Hepatozoon organisms were found in the cytoplasm of neutrophils in both cats, but the number of infected neutrophils was very low (1%-2%). Neutrophils stained strongly positive for SBB, but were negative for ANAE and beta-glucuronidase. Hepatozoon-infected neutrophils were negative for SBB, but focally positive for ANAE and beta-glucuronidase. By transmission electron microscopy, gamonts of Hepatozoon sp were observed in neutrophils, and rarely free in plasma. Infected neutrophils had fewer specific granules and more mitochondria compared with noninfected neutrophils. PCR products of partial 18S rRNA revealed that the isolate of Hepatozoon in the flat-headed cats was closely related to that of the frog Hepatozoon sp. CONCLUSIONS: These results add to our understanding of hematologic values and blood cell morphology in Hepatozoon-infected flat-headed cats as well as the molecular analysis of the Hepatozoon organism, and may be useful for the health management and evaluation of hemoparasitic disease in this species.  相似文献

The morphological features of blood and milk neutrophils from peak lactating goats were compared using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry in order to investigate the cytological changes of neutrophils after migration into the mammary gland. The kinetics of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) generation and gelatinase release of blood and milk neutrophils, with or without stimulation of phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate ester (PMA), were used to characterize their responses to inflammatory stimuli. Neutrophils isolated from goat milk were highly segmented and contained multi-lobed nuclei. Ultrastructurally, milk neutrophils were more ruffled on the surface compared to blood neutrophils. Approximately 30% of milk neutrophils were undergoing cell death, either necrosis or apoptosis, in contrast to 8% of blood neutrophils. The ROI production of activated milk neutrophils peaked earlier than blood neutrophils, but the duration and the intensity were much less. Neutrophils from both sources augmented the release of gelatinase in response to PMA (1 ng/mL). However, the amount of gelatinase released from milk neutrophils was lower (P < 0.05) than that of blood neutrophils. In summary, more neutrophils become apoptotic and necrotic in the mammary gland, presumably due to spontaneous aging, the process of diapedesis, and the interaction with milk components. Milk neutrophils have impaired functionalities in comparison with blood neutrophils. The information is relevant when studying mammary gland immunity and related diseases, such as mastitis.  相似文献

Adjacent areas of upper, middle, and lower parts of the small intestine and spiral colon from a 48-hour-old gnotobiotic calf were compared by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy (LM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As visualized by all 3 methods, small intestinal histologic features, except for apical location of villous epithelial cell nuclei in sections of upper and middle parts of small intestine, were similar to those described for other species. The colonic surface visualized by SEM was composed of flattened ridges separated by furrows into which opened the crypts of Lieberkühn. The epithelial surfaces of the ridges and the furrows had an extensive microvillous covering and scattered goblet cell openings.  相似文献

Flow cytofluorometric characterization of bovine blood and milk leukocytes   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Flow cytometry and sorting proved to be a rapid method that facilitated the identification of different leukocyte populations in bovine blood and milk. After briefly incubating whole blood and milk samples in a hypotonic phosphate buffer, containing supravital acridine orange, 5 classes of leukocytes were found in the blood (lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes) and 4 in the milk (lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages) by flow cytometry. Cells were morphologically identified by fluorescent microscopy after flow cytometric sorting and by light microscopy after Papanicolaous staining. Udder parenchymal and ductal tissue cells (secretory and epithelial cells) were not found in the milk samples evaluated. Large differences in the total and differential cell counts were found in the different milk secretions.  相似文献

The morphological and cytochemical studies of peripheral blood cells of Schizothorax prenanti were studied by light and electron microscopy. Erythrocytes, thrombocytes and three types of leucocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils and monocytes, were distinguished and characterized. In addition to mature erythrocytes, immature and dividing erythrocytes were observed. A few organelles such as mitochondria were distributed in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes. Lymphocytes with heavily clumped heterochromatic nucleus and minimal cytoplasm were classified into small and large lymphocytes. Three different populations of granules, with distinctive ultrastructural aspect, were observed in neutrophils. Monocytes were the fewest leucocytes possessing rich organelles, phagocytized materials and vacuoles. Thrombocytes with various types were the most abundant blood cells among leucocytes and contained a prominent nucleus with dense bands of heterochromatin and many cytoplasmic vacuoles. Periodic acid‐Schiff staining was positive in neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and thrombocytes, but not in erythrocytes. Peroxidase‐positive staining was observed in neutrophils and monocytes, but not in erythrocytes, lymphocytes and thrombocytes. Only neutrophils were positive for oil red O. Except for erythrocytes, the other blood cells stained positively for acid phosphatase. Only neutrophils and monocytes were positive for α‐naphthyl acetate esterase. None of the cells studied were positive for alkaline phosphatase. The morphologic and cytochemical features of blood cells of S. prenanti are similar to those of other fish. This investigation may be helpful as a tool to monitor the health status of cultured S. prenanti and will grant early detection of clinical pathology.  相似文献

A method is presented for locating individual leukocytes and platelets in Wright's stained blood films for comparative study by light and scanning electron microscopy. The individual cells in the blood films were photographed and the field was circled with a diamond marker objective. The slide was scored and broken; pieces of the stained slide containing the numbered circles were fixed (with conductive cement) to a metal stub, air dried, and coated with metallic gold. The metal stub was placed in a scanning electron microscope, and the marked cells were readily located and photographed so that their three-dimensional surface morphology could be compared with the morphologic features of stained cells in the blood film photographed with the light microscope. Characteristics of individual cell types are discussed.  相似文献

Peripheral blood leukocytes and platelets from five normal foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and a fox with phenotypical characteristics of Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) were examined by electron microscopy. Lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and platelets from the affected fox contained giant membrane-bound granules that resembled lysosomes. In eosinophils and neutrophils from the affected fox and a normal fox, relative cell volume occupied by granules and number of granules per unit area were calculated. Relative cell volume occupied by granules was the same in both foxes, but there were significantly fewer granules per unit area in the affected fox. This result is consistent with the idea that the giant granules arose from fusion of pre-existing, normal-sized granules, as occurs in CHS. In platelets from the affected fox, no osmiophilic granules were seen. Our findings agree with those from studies of CHS-affected blood cells in other species.  相似文献

A stabilate prepared from Babesia bovis-infected Boophilus microplus ticks was used to infect intact adult cattle. Whole sera and immunoglobulin fractions from representative sera were tested by complement fixation (CF), indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA), and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays. The last test utilized 51Cr-labeled chicken erythrocytes coated with Babesia bovis antigen as targets. Mononuclear cell preparations, obtained from peripheral blood of normal donors and consisting of lymphocytes with 2--6% large monocytes, were used as the source of effector cells. Antibody activity was detected by all tests between 14 and 16 days following infection. Specific IgM and IgG1 were reactive in both CF and IFA tests, although the development of high titers was attributable to IgG, alone. The ADCC activity was restricted to IgG1 fractions and was greater in those sera or fractions with greater CF activity. No activity was demonstrated in IgG2 fractions by any test used.  相似文献

Intestinal sections from both experimental and field cases of turkey coronaviral enteritis (TCE) were examined by scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy through 10 days after inoculation and by a direct fluorescent antibody test for TCE through 12 days. Serums were collected for an indirect fluorescent antibody test for TCE through 160 days after inoculation. Lesions observed with the scanning electron microscopy were catarrhal enteritis with hemorrhage per diapedesis, epithelial desquamation, and villous atrophy which developed and regressed within 6 days after inoculation. Light microscopy demonstrated similar lesions, except that villus-to-crypt ratios remained depressed 10 days. The direct fluorescent antibody test demonstrated the presence of coronaviral antigen throughout the sampling period, and serum antibodies to TCE were present until at least 160 days, when the experiment was terminated.  相似文献

Although many mast cells locate under the endothelial layer along the sublobular veins in canine liver, the cell function remains to be fully defined. To establish the nature of the canine mast cell, the mast cells were examined by electron microscopy. A few monocytes contacted with luminal surface of endothelial cells under which mast cells situated. To confirm the chemotaxis of monocyte by hepatic mast cells, the hepatic venous vessels were treated with a histamine releaser (compound 48/80). The monocytes invaded into the subendothelial layer and extended their pseudopodium to the degranulated mast cells. It presumes that some mediators within the mast cell granules might act as a chemotactic substance to the monocyte. On the contrary, mast cells were migrating from subendothelial layer to venous lumen under normal condition. The migrating mast cell showed strong acid phosphatase reaction in their granules. It suggests that the granules of migrating mast cell became visible to acid phosphatase activity by a physical force such as contact stimulation, and that a part of mast cells remigrate from the venous wall to other places by the blood flow. Furthermore, hepatic mast cells were revealed to contain both endothelin-1 and histamine in their granules by immunocytochemistry. As these substances have an activity of stronger venous constriction, it seems that the mast cells play an important role in the blood flow regulation of the canine liver, mast cell, monocyte.  相似文献

Whole blood and partially lysed blood films from 5 cats having 20 to 91% of the erythrocytes containing Heinz bodies were examined, using the light microscope and the scanning electron microscope. Heinz bodies were detected in the intact erythrocytes from 3 of the cats as abruptly elevated and distinctly demarcated protuberances in various shapes, sizes, and locations. The Heinz bodies were located just beneath the cell membrane either centrally or near the cell margin and varied in their projectional magnitude. Brilliant cresyl blue staining of blood of these 3 cats revealed prominent Heinz bodies within, and projecting from, the erythrocytes. In contrast, Heinz bodies were not identified on scanning electron microscopy of intact erythrocytes of the remaining 2 cats even though Heinz bodies were found on their blood films stained with brilliant cresyl blue. Scanning electron microscopy of partially lysed blood smears of all 5 cats revealed Heinz bodies of various sizes in the erythrocyte ghosts. Furthermore, blood smears from the 3 cats having distinct Heinz bodies in intact erythrocytes revealed small dense intracellular granules distributed singly or coalesced in small clumps. Further aggregation of these clumps was assumed to result in the formation of a single large Heinz body. The 3-dimensional nature of Heinz bodies was clearly apparent in lysed blood smears.  相似文献

Emperipolesis of hematopoietic cells within megakaryocytes was found in rats. The incidence was less than 0.3% in young rats (2 to 12 months old) but increased to 2-5% among the aging rats (18 to 24 months old). The incidence increased markedly in hyperplastic bone marrow secondary to chronic suppurative or neoplastic lesions. Mature neutrophils appeared to be the most common marrow cell engulfed by megakaryocytes. By light microscopy, engulfed cells were separated from megakaryocyte cytoplasm by a narrow pericellular space. By electron microscopy, marrow cells engulfed by megakaryocytes were located in the open canalicular system. Cell membranes of both engulfed cells and megakaryocytes were intact, and there was no fusion of cell membranes or phagosome formation in the megakaryocytes.  相似文献

The morphology and ultrastructure of circulating white blood cells from six Persian and from five Russian Blue/Siamese cats deficient in lysosomal activity of alpha-mannosidase and arylsulfatase B, respectively, were studied and compared to cells from corresponding normal and carrier cats. In cats with mannosidosis, light microscopic examination revealed vacuoles in lymphocytes and monocytes, whereas electron microscopic studies demonstrated additional vacuoles in neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. In cats with mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), vacuoles containing metachromatic granules were observed in lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes. Ultrastructural studies of these cells identified the accumulation of fibrillar material, which often was associated with lamellated membrane structures.  相似文献

The ability of sheep leukocytes to mediate antibody — dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and that of sheep serum IgG1 and IgG2 to induce ADCC were investigated. Partial characterization of effector cells was attempted. These investigations revealed that ADCC occurs in sneep. With chicken erythrocytes (CRBC) as the target cells, polymorphonu-cleated cells (PMN), and monocytes, were the most effective leukocytes. Ovine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) also mediated ADCC, and within the PBL population, T-cells were capable of mediating ADCC. The T-cells were obtained by nylon wool fractionation and selective agglutination by peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA). Both nylon wool adherent and non-adherent fractions were active in ADCC, although the former were more active, implying heterogeneity in nylon wool adherence among ovine K-cells. Depletion of B (SIg+) cells did not affect ADCC activity of the remaining cells. Depletion of Fc+ cells markedly reduced cytotoxic activity of PBL. Both sheep IgG1 and IgG2 anti-CRBC immunoglobulins were able to induce ADCC.  相似文献
