The development of methods for immunophenotypic and lymphocyte function analyzes for assessment of Southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) health     

Schwartz J  Aldridge B  Blanchard M  Mohr FC  Stott J 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2005,104(1-2):1-14

The Southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The population began a pattern of slow decline in 1995. The decline was attributed to high adult mortality rates with infectious disease being the major cause of death. Multiple pathogens were implicated in these deaths including opportunistic pathogens such as Coccidiodes immitis and Toxoplasma sp. These findings suggested that the immunological health of mature animals in this population might be compromised. The primary goal of this study was to establish techniques for assessing phenotypic and functional baseline data for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in free-ranging sea otters. Standard total and differential white blood cell counts were augmented by emumeration of T and B lymphocyte subsets. Lymphocyte function was determined by both mitogen-induced proliferation and expression of IL-2 receptors. In addition to establishing normal ranges for adult animals, age-related changes were identified in B lymphocyte numbers and cell-surface density of major histocompatability complex class II (MHC II) proteins. The predominant lymphocyte subpopulation in Southern sea otters is the T lymphocyte. Substantial variation among individual animals was observed within the B lymphocyte population both in cell number and density of MHC II expression. Pups had greater numbers of T and B lymphocyte, as well as, greater MHC II expression on B lymphocytes than adults. Mitogen-induced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was variable among individual animals with no significant difference in cell response between age class and gender. Concanavalin (ConA) was a more effective mitogen in stimulating proliferation and interleukin (IL)-2 receptor expression than pokeweed. This data can be used to augment routine hematology profiles and aid in the identification of animals with immunologic perturbations.  相似文献

Characterization of F21.A, a monoclonal antibody that recognize a leucocyte surface antigen for killer whale homologue to beta-2 integrin     

De Guise S  Erickson K  Blanchard M  DiMolfetto L  Lepper HD  Stott JL  Ferrick DA 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2004,97(3-4):195-206

The specificity of F21.A, a monoclonal antibody raised against bottlenose dolphin leucocytes, was characterized in killer whale on the basis of immunoprecipitation of a protein of 94 kDa, as well as flow cytometric analysis. While minimally expressed on resting cells, F21.A labeled a homologue to beta-2 integrin in 89-97% of PMA-activated neutrophils, 53-66% of activated monocytes, and activated B cells but not T cells. Activation of neutrophils reached its maximum 10 min after PMA stimulation. F21.A did not label intracellular stores as did both cross-reacting anti-canine CD11b and CD18, suggesting that an activation-induced conformational change would expose a neoepitope recognized by F21.A. F21.A labeling was largely inhibited by pre-incubation with plasma, suggesting a binding site closely related to that for fibrinogen. In vitro phagocytosis and respiratory burst were almost fully inhibited upon pre-incubation with F21.A, demonstrating its functional importance. This antibody is foreseen as a possible valuable diagnostic and research tool in cetacean immunology.  相似文献   

Thermoregulation of the testicle in response to exercise and subsequent effects on semen characteristics of stallions     

JD Mawyer  CA Cavinder  MM Vogelsang  DH Sigler  CC Love  SP Brinsko  TL Blanchard  DD Varner  CE Arnold  S Teague  RK Gordon 《Journal of animal science》2012,90(8):2532-2539

Stallions (n = 8) were implanted with a thermal sensory device in the muscle of the neck and the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum and then assigned to either a nonexercise (Non-EX; n = 4) or exercise (EX; n = 4) group. A motorized equine exerciser was used to work EX stallions 30 min/d for 4 d/wk during a 12-wk period from July through October 2010. Temperatures (subcutaneous scrotal, intramuscular neck, and rectal) were recorded at 0, 22, and 30 min after the start of exercise, as well as 60 and 120 min post-exercise. Hourly ambient temperature and relative humidity data were also obtained. Semen was collected at 0, 4, 8, and 12 wk and analyzed for volume, sperm concentration, total sperm numbers, percentages of total and progressively motile sperm, sperm morphologic characteristics, and sperm DNA quality. No effect (P > 0.05) of exercise was observed on any of the measured semen variables. Implantation of thermal sensory devices had no demonstrable acute or chronic effects on the scrotal or neck tissue, indicating that the thermal sensory devices are a safe and effective way to measure subcutaneous scrotal and neck temperatures. At 22 and 30 min of exercise, rectal and neck temperatures increased (P < 0.0001) approximately 1.9 and 2.4°C, respectively, and scrotal temperatures simultaneously increased, although not significantly (P = 0.33), approximately 0.8°C. Correlations existed between scrotal, neck, rectal, and ambient temperatures, with the correlation between scrotal and rectal temperatures being greatest (r(s) = 0.76; P < 0.0001). Although moderate exercise for a short duration in extreme heat and humidity did significantly increase core body temperatures in stallions, scrotal temperatures did not significantly increase, and sperm parameters were unaffected.  相似文献   

Comparison of Efficacy of Two Dose Rates of Histrelin to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin for Inducing Ovulation in Broodmares     

Justin L. Voge  A. Kendrick Sudderth  Steven P. Brinsko  Patrick J. Burns  Terry L. Blanchard 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2012

Between February 15 and May 17, 2011, a total of 88 broodmares (10 maiden, 10 barren, and 68 foaling) maintained on pasture in southeast Texas were examined three times weekly (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) by transrectal palpation and ultrasonography. On Tuesday or Thursday, mares in estrus with uterine edema, a relaxed cervix, and a dominant follicle ≥34 mm in diameter were alternately assigned to treatment with the following: group (1) 2,500-unit human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), intravenous; group (2) 1.0-mg BioRelease Histrelin (Biorelease Technologies, Lexington, KY), intramuscular; or group (3) 0.5-mg BioRelease Histrelin, intramuscular. Ovulation was confirmed by ultrasonographic examination. The percentage of mares ovulating within 2 days appeared to be similar between maiden, barren, and foaling mares, so responses for all mares were totaled for analysis. A nonsignificant trend for higher ovulation rates within 2 days was noted for both dose rates of histrelin compared with hCG treatment (31/37, 84%; 34/37, 92%; and 33/36, 92% for groups 1-3, respectively) (P = .45). Ovulatory responses appeared to improve for both products as the season progressed, yet no differences were detected between response rates to histrelin or hCG for any month (P ≥ .50). The use of 1.0- or 0.5-mg BioRelease Histrelin was found to be at least equally effective as hCG treatment for inducing ovulation within 2 days of treatment throughout the breeding season.  相似文献
