板蓝根多糖对体外培养鸡脾脏淋巴细胞蛋白激酶C活性的影响

采用水提醇沉法提取板蓝根多糖,应用蒽酮-硫酸法进行多糖含量测定。体外培养鸡脾脏淋巴细胞,用固相夹心酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）测定蛋白激酶c(PKC)活性,分析板蓝根多糖对鸡脾脏淋巴细胞PKC活性的影响。结果显示,加入板蓝根多糖组（100mg/ml）与空白对照组的PKC的活性有显著差异(P<0.05),表明板蓝根多糖能引起鸡脾脏淋巴细胞蛋白激酶c活性明显升高。

鸡法氏囊中B淋巴细胞的发育

[目的]研究不同生长阶段正常鸡法氏囊内B淋巴细胞的动态变化规律。[方法]以海兰白鸡的200枚种蛋为试验材料,利用免疫组化法研究了IgM、IgG和IgA3种B淋巴细胞在法氏囊内的发育变化规律。[结果]在胚胎13日龄时,法氏囊内可检测到IgM＋和IgG＋2种B细胞,但IgM＋B细胞的数量显著高于IgG＋B细胞,而IgA＋B细胞在胚胎18日龄的法氏囊内才可检测到。随着日龄的增长,IgM＋、IgG＋、IgA＋3种B淋巴细胞整体变化呈上升趋势,并在21日龄时达到稳定。IgM＋、IgG＋、IgA＋3种B细胞分布部位相似,开始均出现在粘膜上皮内,随后分布在皮质中,而在成熟后主要分布在髓质中。[结论]在胚胎13日龄前,IgM＋B细胞可能在法氏囊内已经出现;鸡出壳后初期,法氏囊的体液免疫功能迅速增强,并在21日龄时达到成熟水平。     

Complement, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and platelets in acute experimental respiratory reactions to Aspergillus

An experimental complement-dependent model of an acute allergic response to inhalation of Aspergillus spores has been used to examine the roles of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and platelets in mediating this reaction as measured by decreases in arterial oxygen tensions (Pa_O2). Normal rabbits selectively depleted of PMN by nitrogen mustard (HN₂) showed a decrease in Pa_O2 later than that observed in untreated animals. The HN₂-treated group also showed a marked decrease in platelets after challenge, not seen in the similarly challenged untreated group or in unchallenged HN₂-treated animals. These data demonstrate the importance of PMN in complement-mediated host responses to aerosols of fungal spores. In the absence of the PMN, platelets appear capable of initiating a similar, albeit delayed, reaction, thus further emphasizing the flexibility of pulmonary defense mechanisms against inhaled particles.     

5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and light inactivation of proliferating Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium sensitized bovine lymphocytes

Maximum inactivation (83–98%) of proliferating Mycobacterium bovis and/or Mycobacterium avium sensitized bovine lymphocytes was obtained when the lymphocytes were treated with 10^?4 M of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and light. Inactivation was specific though not total whether the cultures were first stimulated with M. bovis PPD or M. avium PPD, though slightly higher inactivation resulted when cultures were first stimulated with M. bovis PPD. There was, however, a statistically significant suppression (P < 0.05) of the counts/min of cultures initially stimulated with either M. bovis PPD or M. avium PPD and later restimulated with either of the antigens after BUdR-light treatment. Thus experiments showed that inactivation occurs only to those cells responding by proliferation to a particular stimulant. There is a potential for the use of this assay for differentiating infection due to either M. bovis or M. avium if total inactivation of proliferating lymphocytes could be achieved.     

Non-immune erythrocyte rosette formation of bovine peripheral blood and thymus lymphocytes

An E-rosetting reaction is described which gave 92.1%±2.4 (mean±S.D.) E-rosettes with bovine fetal thymocytes and 48.2%±8.4 with with bovine peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) preparations. Both culture conditions and culture medium were critical factors in obtaining maximal and reproducible E-rosette numbers. Optimum rosette formation occurred when bovine PBL and neuraminidase treated sheep erythrocytes (nSRBC) were reacted in L-15 culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Other media including 100% FCS, MEM with 10% FCS, and RPMI-1640 with 10% FCS were less satisfactory. Cultural conditions found to be optimal for enumeration of bovine E-rosettes are similar to those reported as optimal for detection of human T cells. The specificity of rosette formation by bovine thymus derived (T) lymphocytes was shown by demonstration of (1) rosettes and surface membrane immunoglobulins (mIg) on different cells in PBL, (2) rosette formation by the majority of fetal thymocytes, and (3) no inhibition of rosette formation by anti-immunoglobulin serum. Using the E-rosette and mIg assays for presumptive bovine T and B lymphocytes, respectively, it was possible to differentiate from 57.5 to 90% (75.2%±9.3) of cells in bovine PBL preparations, and from 90.2 to 97.5% (94.2%±2.1) of cells in bovine fetal thymocyte preparations into T and B cells.
