It is well known that the immune system changes with age during development and maturation in Holstein cattle. But age-related changes in leukocytes and T cell subsets in peripheral blood of Japanese Black cattle still remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate comparative changes of leukocytes (granulocytes, monocytes, B cells and T cells) and T cell subsets (CD4+, CD8+, γδ, CD8+γδ and WC1+γδ T cells) in Japanese Black cattle aged 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 18 and 36–41 (adult) months on flow cytometry using specific monoclonal antibodies for the cell surface markers. T cell proportion was approximately 40% in 2-month-old cattle and decreased to 20.6% in adults. In contrast, B cell proportion significantly increased from 7.4% to 28.2% with age. In T cell subsets the percentage of CD4+ T cells significantly increased from 40.5% to 60%, but that of WC1+γδ T cell subset significantly decreased with age. The percentages of CD8+ and CD8+γδ T cells did not change. The present study details the proportional changes in leukocyte and T cell subsets with age in the peripheral blood of Japanese Black cattle and these findings are similar to those described for Holstein cattle.  相似文献

A 9-year-old female spayed Boxer dog presented with variably sized, firm, black, raised, exudative subcutaneous masses on her head, neck and trunk, that tended to fluctuate in size and frequently ulcerate. Skin biopsy showed that the dermis was expanded by a densely cellular mass of proliferative capillaries distended with large pleomorphic neoplastic round cells mixed with fibrin and erythrocytes. Intravascular lymphoma was diagnosed and immunostains were compatible with a CD8+ T lymphocyte histogenesis (CD3+/CD79a−/TCRαβ+/CD8α+). Post-mortem examination, four months after diagnosis, revealed neoplastic T-cells within meningeal arteries. We are unaware of other reports of a cutaneous presentation and ante-mortem diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma in the dog. Additionally, this vasoproliferative form of intravascular lymphoma has not been previously described in dogs.  相似文献

Abstract   Clinical, immunological and histopathological findings in 20 adult dogs of varying breeds with chronic (≥ 6 months) inflammation confined to the pedal skin were compared over a 2-year period with those of a group of age-matched controls ( n  = 20). All affected dogs were pruritic but systemically well. Lesions were present on all four feet in 18/20 cases. Affected feet were characteristically erythematous, swollen, painful and alopecic. Sinus tracts were evident in 4/20 dogs. Despite a methodical series of diagnostic tests, no underlying cause was identified. None of the dogs responded to antimicrobial therapy administered for 8 weeks, none had evidence of ectoparasitism and none satisfied the criteria for atopic dermatitis. There was no response to a dietary trial using a novel protein source. The condition was characterized histopathologically by epidermal hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, spongiosis, dermal oedema and perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Clinical signs did not correlate with histopathological findings. Affected dogs had significantly elevated serum IgG and IgM concentrations. The results of lymphocyte proliferation assays and phenotypic studies to determine the relative percentage of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD21+ lymphocyte subsets, and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ cells were not significantly different between groups. No age, sex or seasonal predilections were noted. All dogs subsequently responded to immunosuppressive doses of prednisolone or cyclosporin. The term immunomodulatory-responsive lymphocytic–plasmacytic pododermatitis is proposed to denote what may be a previously unrecognized condition in some dogs with pododermatitis of undetermined aetiology.  相似文献

The distinct patterns of cytokine expression in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are well understood in mice and humans. However, little information is available about cytokine expression in bovine CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In this study, mRNA expression of 19 different cytokines was analyzed in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of calves with or without Concanavalin A (Con A) stimulation. CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations were enriched to 98% purity by positive selection using magnetic cell sorting (MACS). CD4+ T cells spontaneously expressed the mRNAs of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta and TGF-beta, and augmented the mRNA expression of IL-10, IFN-gamma and TNF-beta after Con A stimulation. The mRNAs of IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and GM-CSF were newly expressed in Con A-stimulated CD4+ T cells. CD8+ T cells displayed spontaneous mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-18, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta and TGF-beta, and newly expressed the mRNA of IL-2, IL-7, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and GM-CSF after Con A stimulation. It was found that CD4+ T cells expressed the mRNA of 17 cytokines except for IL-12 and IL-15, while CD8+ T cells expressed only the mRNA of 9 cytokines after Con A stimulation. The profile of cytokine mRNA expression was substantially different in the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of calves, indicating that CD4+ T cells can be distinguished from CD8+ T cells by the cytokine gene expression of IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-13. Differential cytokine expression between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells serve to interpret an individual function of T cell subsets in the immune system of calves.  相似文献

Objective  Recent reports have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can modulate/suppress immunologic responses through interactions with different immune cells. We performed this study in order to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of MSCs in corneal xenotransplantation.
Animals studied  Pig and rat.
Procedures  We orthotopically transplanted pig corneas into rats and topically applied allogeneic rat MSCs to the corneas for 2 h immediately after transplantation. Graft survival was clinically assessed using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and the median survival time (MST) was calculated. The rejected grafts were histologically examined using antibodies against CD4, CD8, CD161, and CD68. The expression of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ was also evaluated in the rejected grafts using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results  The survival of corneal xenografts was not significantly prolonged by MSC application (MST 10.5 days) compared with the controls (MST 9.67 days) ( P  = 0.4189). Histologically, the rejected grafts in both groups were massively infiltrated with neutrophils and macrophages. Some CD8+ T cells and rare NK cells were found in the rejected grafts. The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were significantly increased in the rejected grafts from MSC-treated rats compared with the grafts from MSC-untreated rats. However, the levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ were not different between the two groups.
Conclusions  Topical application of allogeneic rat MSCs was ineffective in prolonging corneal xenograft survival in a pig-to-rat model.  相似文献

旨在系统分析伯氏疟原虫感染引起宿主T细胞、NK细胞、Tim-3表达及细胞因子的变化。选取64只雌性C57BL/6小鼠随机分为8组,每组8只,分别于感染后0、4、7、9、11、13、16和19 d获取小鼠脾及外周血免疫细胞,利用流式细胞术检测小鼠主要免疫细胞亚群及免疫检查点分子Tim-3表达水平的变化;同时检测血清中细胞因子的变化。结果表明,感染疟原虫后,小鼠脾CD3+CD4+ T细胞、CD3+CD8+ T细胞及NK细胞的比例均逐渐降低（P<0.01）,且伴随着3种细胞Tim-3表达量的升高（P<0.01）。小鼠外周血CD3+CD4+ T细胞的比例呈先降低后升高趋势,CD3+CD8+ T细胞的比例呈先升高后降低趋势（P<0.05）;小鼠外周血CD3-NK1.1+细胞的比例呈先降低后升高趋势,但感染末期,其比例仍低于未感染组（P<0.05）。Tim-3分子在外周血CD3+CD4+ T细胞、CD3+CD8+ T细胞及CD3-NK1.1+细胞的表达均显著升高（P<0.05）。感染疟原虫后,小鼠血清中促炎细胞因子IL-2的分泌量均显著高于未感染组（P<0.05）;促炎细胞因子IFN-γ、TNF-α和IL-6在血清中分泌均呈先升高后降低趋势（P<0.05）;具有免疫抑制作用的细胞因子IL-10呈逐渐升高趋势,且感染后期急剧升高（P<0.001）。以上结果表明,感染疟原虫后,小鼠的特异性免疫反应发挥了一定的杀伤作用,但由于Tim-3免疫检查点分子及一些发挥免疫抑制作用的细胞因子（IL-10）的过度表达,有利于疟原虫逃避宿主的免疫捕杀作用。该研究提示了从宿主免疫抑制角度研究疟原虫感染的重要性。  相似文献

Objective To compare haematological values and lymphocyte phenotypes in the peripheral blood of fleece rot-resistant and -susceptible sheep.
Procedure Experiments were conducted on 2- and 3-year-old Merino rams, flock 1 (17 rams) and flock 2 (32 rams), respectively. Within each flock, individual rams were classified as fleece rot-resistant or -susceptible, based on established criteria. Total and differential white cell counts, and indirect fluorescent antibody tests specific for B cells and T cells were performed on all sheep. The concentration of various subsets of circulating lymphocytes was then determined in each sheep.
Results There were no significant differences between fleece rot-resistant and -susceptible sheep from either flock in the mean total or differential white cell counts. However, fleece rot-resistant rams in flock 1 did have a significantly higher concentration of circulating SBU-T1+ cells than fleece rot-susceptible rams from the same flock. No such difference was noted in the rams from flock 2. While all rams in flock 1 were free of clinical fleece rot, 24 rams in flock 2 (comprising all 17 fleece rot-susceptible and 7 of 15 fleece rot-resistant animals) had clinical signs of the disease. Fleece rot-free rams in this flock (irrespective of their classification as fleece rot-resistant or -susceptible) had significantly higher concentrations of circulating SBU-T1+ cells compared with fleece rot-affected animals. They also had significantly higher concentrations of circulating B cells, and total lymphocytes.
Conclusions An examination of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in fleece rot-resistant and -susceptible sheep revealed a possible association between resistance to fleece rot and the concentration of circulating SBU-T1+ cells.  相似文献

The effect of xylazine on the isolated sheep trachea and its possible interactions with the α2-adrenergic antagonist, atipamezole, and the anticholinergic agent, atropine, was studied. The mechanical responses of the tracheal preparations were recorded after exposing each one to cumulatively increasing concentrations of xylazine alone or in the presence of atipamezole or atropine.
Xylazine exerted a concentration-dependent contractile effect, with a threshold concentration of 10--7M while the maximum activity was produced at a concentration of 10--5M (EC50= 2.3 × 10--7). This xylazine-induced contractile effect was inhibited by atipamezole, but not significantly modified by atropine. Thus, it is concluded that α2-adrenoceptors exist in the sheep trachea and it is suggested that α2-adrenoceptor agonists may act on airways in sheep directly through stimulation of peripheral α2-adrenergic receptors and indirectly via central α2-adrenergic receptor activation of parasympathetic tone.  相似文献

A 15-year-old domestic long haired cat developed nodular cutaneous masses over the right shoulder that were removed surgically. Similar masses developed in multiple cutaneous sites over the following three years. In each case, the lesions were characterized by diffuse dermal infiltration by histiocytic cells with a low mitotic rate and evidence of epidermotropism. The neoplastic population uniformly expressed class II molecules of the Major Histocompatibility Complex, but did not express the T and B lymphoid markers CD3 and CD79. Perivascular aggregates of CD3+ T lymphocytes were located at the deep margins of the tumour nodules. The clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of these tumours are consistent with cutaneous histiocytoma. This tumour has not been previously well-documented in the cat.  相似文献

Background: Regulatory T cells (Treg) have been shown to suppress antitumor immunity and often are increased in humans and rodents with cancer. However, Tregs have not been well studied in dogs with cancer and it is not known if certain tumor types are associated with increased Tregs.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that Treg percentages would be increased in dogs with cancer and that Treg percentages would be higher in dogs with certain types of cancer.
Animals: The percentages and numbers of Tregs and nonregulatory T cells and B cells were assessed in 34 dogs with cancer and 9 age-matched control dogs. Dogs evaluated included 14 dogs with sarcoma, 7 dogs with carcinoma, 7 dogs with lymphoma, and 6 dogs with mast cell tumor.
Methods: Numbers and percentages of Tregs, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells and B cells were determined using flow cytometry and compared between control dogs and dogs with cancer.
Results: The percentage of Tregs was significantly increased overall in dogs with cancer compared with control dogs. When tumor types were compared, Treg percentages were significantly increased in dogs with carcinoma. The Treg/CD8 T cell ratio was significantly higher in dogs with cancer compared with control dogs and was also significantly increased in 2 dogs with T-cell lymphoma.
Conclusions: Treg percentages in blood were increased in dogs with cancer, particularly in dogs with carcinoma. The Treg/CD8 ratio also identified tumor-specific abnormalities in dogs with cancer. These findings indicate that tumor-specific factors may affect Tregs in dogs.  相似文献

Changes in lymphocyte traffic in efferent lymph from the prescapular lymph node of sheep were monitored during local primary and secondary infection with blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. During primary infections the response was characterised by an increase in the output of CD4+ T cells over CD8+ T cells for the first 48 h after wound initiation. By 72 h the output of CD8+ T cells exceeded that of CD4+ T cells. During secondary infections the increased output of CD8+ T cells was more pronounced and occurred earlier at approximately 48 h. The percentage of B lymphocytes as measured by sIg, CD45R and MHC class II expression increased at approximately 96–120 h after both primary and secondary infections, with the secondary response being greater than the primary. This increase in B cells corresponded with peak antibody titres recorded in the efferent lymph to a first instar antigen preparation as measured by ELISA. An increase in IFN-γ and soluble IL-2 receptor was recorded after both primary and secondary infections, with the response after secondary infection being greater than that recorded after primary larval infections.  相似文献

The effect of the endocrine-disrupting chemical 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphyenl (PCB 126) on intestinal microbiota after oral administration, and the improvement of intestinal microbiota and feces quantity by the subsequent administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus or Lactobacillus reuteri was investigated. All the rats were given 100 μg/kg bodyweight of PCB 126. The changes in bacterial counts were confirmed using a culture method. The administration of PCB 126 tended to decrease the bacterial counts of lactobacilli (109.6−1010.2 to 108.8−109.2) and bifidobacteria (105.3−106.1 to 103.6−104.2), and to increase those of Enterobacteriaceae (108.2−109.1 to 109.4−1010.3) and staphylococci (106.6−107.4 to 107.2−108.4) compared to no PCB 126 administration. After administration of PCB 126, L. acidophilus or L. reuteri orally administered to rats caused Enterobacteriaceae and staphylococci counts to decrease, suggesting that the intestinal microbiota was improved by the lactobacilli. The administration of L. acidophilus and L. reuteri improved the balance of intestinal microbiota, and defecation volume returned to its normal level. L. acidophilus and L. reuteri have a remedial effect on intestinal microbiota affected by PCB 126 and can function to lessen accumulated PCB 126 volume.  相似文献

白细胞介素-10(IL-10)增高是口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)感染过程中显著特征之一。本研究旨在探讨IL-10对FMDV感染小鼠外周血T细胞增殖及其表达效应功能相关细胞因子的影响。采用CCK-8和流式细胞术分别检测小鼠外周血T细胞增殖和T细胞表达效应功能相关细胞因子(TNF-α、IFN-γ和IL-2)。结果显示,与对照小鼠相比,FMDV感染小鼠(感染12、24、36和48 h)外周血T细胞对刀豆蛋白A刺激的增殖均显著下降(P<0.05或P<0.01);FMDV感染小鼠的外周血CD4+T细胞表达TNF-α和IL-2均显著下降(均P<0.01),CD8+T细胞表达TNF-α、IFN-γ和IL-2也显著下降(P<0.01或P<0.000 1)。体内阻断IL-10/IL-10R信号或者敲除IL-10均能显著恢复FMDV感染小鼠外周血T细胞的增殖(P<0.05或P<0.01),但不影响CD4+和CD8+T细胞表达TNF-α、IFN-γ和IL-2。本研究首次揭示FMDV能抑...  相似文献

In this study we have used the expression of perforin to characterize subsets of porcine cytotoxic lymphocytes. Perforin positive lymphocytes expressed both CD2 and CD8, most were small dense lymphocytes (SDL) and up to 90% were CD3 negative. However, the numbers of perforin positive T-cells increased with the age of the animal and their populations increased after specific antigen stimulation in vitro. The remaining perforin positive lymphocytes were large and granular and contained more CD3+CD5+CD6+ T-cells (−40%) of which a substantial proportion also co-expressed CD4. Perforin was expressed in subpopulations of both CD8 and CD8β lymphocytes, but was not expressed in γδ T-cells or monocyte/macrophages. The perforin positive CD3− subset was phenotypically homogeneous and defined as CD5−CD6−CD8β−CD16+CD11b+. This population had NK activity and expressed mRNA for the NK receptor NKG2D, and adaptors DAP10 and DAP12. Perforin positive T-cells (CD3+) could be divided into at least three subsets. The first subset was CD4−CD5+CD6+CD11b−CD16− most were small dense lymphocytes with cytotoxic T-cell activity but not all expressed CD8β. The second subset was mainly observed in the large granular lymphocytes. Their phenotype was CD4+CD5+CD6+CD8β+CD16−CD11b− and also showed functional CTL activity. Thus not all of double positive T-cells are memory helper T-cells. The third subset did not express the T-cell co-receptor CD6, but up to half of them expressed another T-cell co-receptor CD5. The majority of this subset expressed CD11b and CD16, thus the third perforin positive T-cell subset was CD3+CD4−CD5+CD6−CD8β±CD11b+CD16+, and possessed MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and LAK activity.  相似文献

Migration of leukocytes into the mammary gland is an essential element of resistance to infection which is likely influenced by expression of adhesion molecules. The contribution of subsets to mammary gland resistance remains unclear. Mononuclear cells from milk and blood of dairy cows were examined for variation in CD4+, CD8+, and WC1+ (Workshop Cluster 1; marker for gammadelta T cells) lymphocyte phenotypes and expression of LFA-1 and L-selectin at several time points during the periparturient period and at Week 16 of lactation. Proportions of CD4+ T cells were higher (p < or = 10.05) in blood than milk at all times between Week 0 and Week 16 relative to calving; the inverse was true of CD8+ cells. Expression of L-selectin was lower (p < or = 0.05) on CD4+ cells and higher on CD8+ cells from milk. The WC1+ subset was more frequent in blood than in milk except at calving when the opposite was true. After calving, proportions of L-selectin+ WC1+ cells decreased steadily to Week 16. Expression of LFA-1 was examined on mononuclear cell populations and found to be lower on milk cells and did not vary over time. We conclude that proportions of T cells subsets differ significantly between blood and milk, particularly around calving. Corresponding variations in L-selectin expression may indicate a role for this molecule in regulating the movement of CD8+ and WC1+ T cells into the bovine mammary gland.  相似文献
