The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro IgE induction in peripheral canine B cells. CD21(+) B cells were purified from the peripheral blood of beagle dogs by positive selection via magnetic separation to a purity of >/=95%. Subsequently, proliferation, and IgG and IgE production of canine B cells were investigated after stimulation with human recombinant Interleukin-4 (hrIL-4) and human recombinant Interleukin-2 (hrIL-2) in the presence or absence of CD40L-CD8 fusion protein (CD40L) of mouse origin. We could demonstrate that canine B cells react on hrIL-2 alone by proliferation and IgG production but not by IgE secretion, whereas activation with hrIL-4 induced proliferation and mainly IgE production. Together, both cytokines synergistically increased B cell proliferation as well as IgG and IgE production. We could also show that mouse CD40L induces proliferation of dog B cells, which is further enhanced by addition of hrIL-4. Unexpectedly, CD40L led to a dramatic decrease in the IL-4 mediated IgE secretion (82% inhibition on an average). In contrast, IgG production was not affected significantly by CD40L. The same effects of CD40L were observed when B cells were stimulated by a combination of IL-2 and IL-4 and this inhibition could not be abrogated by increasing the amounts of IL-4. In summary, activation of canine B cells from peripheral blood by hrIL-4 in the presence or absence of hrIL-2 led to marked IgE production that is strongly and in a dose-dependent manner inhibited by CD40L. Stimulation of IgG production is not influenced by CD40L. 相似文献

This study evaluated a new perspective in the diagnosis of dermatitis in dogs with signs suggestive of allergic skin disease. The results obtained with CMG IMMUNODOT tests using the technique of allergen-specific strip tests, as employed for human allergy diagnosis, were compared with those obtained by the intradermal skin test (IDST). Forty-eight cases completed the diagnostic evaluation, which included IDST, flea-control program, exclusion of sarcoptes and, for some cases, a 1- to 2-month stabilization period on a restricted protein source diet and testing the serum in the presence of allergen-specific IgE and total IgE. The most common disorders included house and storage dust mites, allergic dermatitis and flea-allergic dermatitis together with atopy. This was confirmed serologically. In the case of positive IDST to pollens, Aspergillus spp. and cat epithelium, CMG IMMUNODOT strip tests were negative. A total of 25% of cases were considered to be primarily associated with food hypersensitivity, but only 4% were confirmed serologically. This study emphasizes the value of CMG IMMUNODOT tests as a support in the diagnosis of dog allergy. 相似文献
