Immunocompetent cells were isolated from spleen of B. himalayanus and studied surface morphology of the three different cell types--(i) plastic adherent; (ii) nylon wool adherent; and (iii) nylon wool non-adherent cells. As revealed by scanning electron microscopy, they resembled the macrophages, B and T cells, respectively. Presence of such cell types indicated that Bufo himalayanus possessed a well-organized immune system. Further work is needed to characterize the functional efficacy of these immunocompetent cells found in B. himalayanus. 相似文献

Progressive myelopathy in the German shepherd dog is a degenerative neurologic disease of unknown etiology. Results presented in a previous study indicated a depression in the response to thymus-dependent mitogens by peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from dogs with progressive myelopathy. Data presented here indicate that this depressed response to mitogens was associated with the presence of peripheral blood suppressor cells. Suppressor cell activity was detected in dogs that were severely affected with PM, but was not apparent in dogs that were mildly affected. Peripheral blood leukocytes obtained from dogs with progressive myelopathy suppressed the mitogenic response to autologous lymph node cells as well as allogeneic normal canine peripheral blood cells. The suppressor cells had the capacity to suppress mixed leukocyte reactions. Suppressor cell activity was radioresistant. Both nylon wool-adherent and -nonadherent peripheral blood leukocyte populations contained suppressor activity. Suppressive activity diminished after incubation of the suppressor cells with indomethacin, suggesting that suppression may be mediated by the release of prostaglandins. Although a role for peripheral blood suppressor cells in the disease process has not yet been established, it is possible that this abnormal regulatory activity reflects an attempt by the host to control an autoimmune event. 相似文献

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with a complex spectrum of cellular and molecular characteristics including several dramatic changes in the populations of peripheral leukocytes. These changes include general leukopenia, activation of B and T cells, and maturation of granulocytes. The manifestation of SLE in peripheral blood is central to the disease but is incompletely understood. A technique for rigorously characterizing changes in mixed populations of cells, microarray expression deconvolution, has been applied to several areas of biology but not to SLE or to blood. Here we demonstrate that microarray expression deconvolution accurately quantifies the constituents of real blood samples and mixtures of immune-derived cell lines. We characterize a broad spectrum of peripheral leukocyte cell types and states in SLE to uncover novel patterns including: specific activation of NK and T helper lymphocytes, relationships of these patterns to each other, and correlations to clinical variables and measures. The expansion and activation of monocytes, NK cells, and T helper cells in SLE at least partly underlie this disease''s prominent interferon signature. These and other patterns of leukocyte dynamics uncovered here correlate with disease severity and treatment, suggest potential new treatments, and extend our understanding of lupus pathology as a complex autoimmune disease involving many arms of the immune system. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood leukocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations, and hemic cell lines were examined for their ability to supprot HSV and CMV replication. Mitogen-stimulated mononuclear leukocytes, B lymphocytes, and T lymphcytes supported the replication of HSV to high titers over 3 to 5 days of infection. HSV replicated in unstimulated mononuclear leukocyte cultures of one of five donors, and to a limited degree in untreated B lymphocytes of three of five donors; HSV replication was not detected in unstimulated T lymphocytes (five donors). There was no evidence of enhanced uptake of 3H-thymidine in the untreated donor cells that replicated HSV. CMV replication was not detected during 9 to 10 days of infection in untreated or mitogen-treated mononuclear leukocytes and lymphocyte subpopulations from the same adult donors or in neonatal cord blood leukocytes. The ability of the cells to support HSV or CMV replication did not correlate with the presence of specific antiviral antibodies in the donor serum. HSV replication in B, T, and myeloid cell lines to high titers over 5 days of infection, whereas CMV failed to replicate in any of the hemic cell lines. A persistent HSV infection has been established in a T cell line (CEM) with high titers of infectious virus being produced concurrently with growth of the cells over the first 11 weeks of infection. 相似文献

Summary At low cell density, the proliferative response of B cells to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is not detectable. We investigated under these experimental conditions the role of several cell populations on the LPS-induced B-cell proliferation. The addition to murine B cells of irradiated peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from the C3H/ HeJ mouse strain, or of culture supernatants of these cells, efficiently restored a response to LPS. Similar results were also obtained with irradiated PBL from other mouse strains and from rabbits. The activities of the culture supernatants were not significantly modified when the PBL were depleted of adherent cells or of Thy-1.2 positive cells, thus suggesting that the active factors were secreted neither by T cells, nor by monocytes.Abbreviations BSS

Blood leukocytes incubated in vitro with rabbit-marrow cells induced a several-fold increase in basophilic erythroblasts and smaller increases in acidophils and reticulocytes. The main effect was nearly complete in one hour at 37°. Erythropoietin augmented the leukocyte effect; anti-erythropoietin inhibited it with or without erythropoietin. The erythroblast increase came entirely from the marrow cells; the precursor cell class has not been identified, except that division of pre-existing basophils appears to be excluded. Autologous and homologous leukocytes were about equally effective. A method is described of measuring on stained smears changes in relative concentrations of different classes of cells induced experimentally. A method of preparing highly concentrated peripheral blood leukocytes is described. 相似文献

Modulation of the human in vitro antibody response by human leukocyte interferon preparations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The ability of human leukocyte Interferon to modulate the plaque-forming-cell response of human peripheral blood leukocytes to horse red blood cells was examined. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured in vitro with the addition of varying doses of human leukocyte interferon 24 hr prior to, simultaneously with, and 24 hr after sensitization of the cultures with horse red blood cells. Plaque-forming-cell responses were measured 5 days after sensitization with antigen using poly-L-lysine-coupled horse red blood cell monolayers. When human leukocyte interferon preparations were added 24 hr prior to sensitization with antigen, a significant enhancement of the plaque-forming-cell response was observed. When the interferon was added simultaneously with antigen, the plaque-forming-cell response was significantly suppressed. Therefore, human leukocyte interferon appears to have a time-dependent immunomodulatory activity. The kinetics of immunomodulation appear to be different from those of previously described mouse models. 相似文献

A new, simple, and rapid in vitro assay has been developed for identification of adherent and nonadherent leukocytes. The assay is based on adherence of latex (polystyrene) particles to the cell surface. Using the latex particle adherence (LPA) assay, the percentage of adhesive leukocytes has been determined in human peripheral blood mononuclear preparations and in the lymph nodes, thymus, bursa of Fabricius, spleen, and bone marrow of mouse, chicken, and rat origin. The highest proportion of LPA-positive cells was found in peritoneal exudate, bone marrow, and spleen, the lowest proportion, in thymus and bursa of Fabricius. LPA-Positive cells in human peripheral blood mononuclear preparations were identified as surface immunoglobulin-positive lymphocytes nonrosetting with sheep red blood cells. LPA-Positive cells in peritoneal exudate were identified as macrophages. Incubation of leukocyte suspensions on polystyrene petri dishes or nylon wool columns reduces substantially the percentage of LPA-positive cells in the nonadherent fraction. The LPA assay seems to be a method of choice for establishing the relationship between adhesiveness of the cell surface and other cell membrane markers on a single-cell level. 相似文献

The DNA structure of peripheral blood leukocytes in healthy donors and in viral hepatitis B patients was studied by the rate of the alkaline denaturation of DNA in cell lysates. An increased rate of the DNA alkaline denaturation of cell lysates was established, which was indicative of the damages in their DNA. The most pronounced damages of DNA were found in granulocytes of patients with highly active chronic hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis, especially in cases of simultaneous delta-virus infection. The damage of leukocyte DNA reflected probably the accumulation of cells, committed to apoptosis, in peripheral blood. Apoptosis may be induced by cytotoxic lymphocytes recognizing HBV-infected cells. 相似文献

A Xenopus-specific anti-leukocyte monoclonal antibody designated XL-2 was isolated and used to identify leukocytes in tailbud embryos
and activin A-treated explants of blastula animal cap. XL-2 bound to a 135-kDa polypeptide in western blots of protein extracts
from adult thymocytes, tailbud embryos, tadpoles, and explants. In cell suspensions, it immunostained the cell surface of
all types of adult leukocytes including lymphocytes, monocyte/macrophages, thrombocytes, and granulocytes. At embryonic stage
24, immunocytochemistry revealed XL-2-positive leukocytes, the earliest time at which such cells have been recognized. Whole-mount
staining of tailbud embryos and tadpoles showed a widely dispersed population of XL-2-reactive leukocytes, many of which had
elongated shapes and ameboid pseudopodia. In activin A-treated animal caps, XL-2 recognized a subpopulation of cells within
the lumen of the central fluid-filled cavity as well as cells in the interstitium of mesenchymal and mesothelial components
of the explant. Together, activin A and human interleukin-11 induced 100% of explants to form lumenal blood cells. Compared
to activin A alone, murine stem cell factor plus activin A significantly increased the numbers of XL-2-reactive leukocytes
and erythrocytes. These results support the view that activin A induces leukocyte and erythrocyte progenitors during Xenopus embryogenesis.

Background
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the upper airway mucosa that also affects leukocytes in bone marrow and peripheral blood. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is a receptor for unmethylated CpG dinucleotides found in bacterial and viral DNA. The present study was designed to examine the expression of TLR9 in the nasal mucosa and in leukocytes derived from different cellular compartments during symptomatic allergic rhinitis.Methods
The study was based on 32 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis and 18 healthy subjects, serving as controls. Nasal biopsies were obtained before and after allergen challenge. Bone marrow, peripheral blood and nasal lavage fluid were sampled outside and during pollen season. The expression of TLR9 in tissues and cells was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively.Results
TLR9 was found in several cell types in the nasal mucosa and in different leukocyte subpopulations derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood and nasal lavage fluid. The leukocyte expression was generally higher in bone marrow than in peripheral blood, and not affected by symptomatic allergic rhinitis.Conclusion
The widespread expression of TLR9 in the nasal mucosa along with its rich representation in leukocytes in different compartments, demonstrate the possibility for cells involved in allergic airway inflammation to directly interact with bacterial and viral DNA. 相似文献13.

The fibrinolytic activity of human peripheral blood leukocytes was studied by plating the cells on 125I-fibrin coated dishes. The separation of the three major leukocyte types allowed to demonstrate that most of the activity was produced by granulocytes. The rate of fibrinolysin was found to be linear with incubation time and cell number in the range of 1-4 X 10(5) cells/ml. Since little activity was found in absence of exogenous plasminogen, it was concluded that the cell fibrinolytic activity depended mostly upon the release of plasminogen activator. Plasmatic and granulocytic activators obtained from the same amount of blood were found to be of similar level suggesting a possible clinical implication of the cellular activity in the thrombolytic system. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that subsets of human T helper cells can orchestrate leukocyte adhesion to synovial fibroblasts (SFbs), thus regulating the retention of leukocytes in the joints of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients. Several cell types, such as monocytes/macrophages, granulocytes, T and B lymphocytes, SFbs and osteoclasts participate in joint tissue damage JIA. Among T cells, an enrichment of classic and non-classic Th1 subsets, has been found in JIA synovial fluid (SF), compared to peripheral blood (PB). Moreover, it has been shown that IL-12 in the SF of inflamed joints mediates the shift of Th17 lymphocytes towards the non-classic Th1 subset. Culture supernatants of Th17, classic and non-classic Th1 clones, have been tested for their ability to stimulate proliferation, and to induce expression of adhesion molecules on SFbs, obtained from healthy donors. Culture supernatants of both classic and non-classic Th1, but not of Th17, clones, were able to induce CD106 (VCAM-1) up-regulation on SFbs. This effect, mediated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, was crucial for the adhesion of circulating leukocytes on SFbs. Finally, we found that SFbs derived from SF of JIA patients expressed higher levels of CD106 than those from healthy donors, resembling the phenotype of SFbs activated in vitro with Th1-clones supernatants. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that classic and non-classic Th1 cells induce CD106 expression on SFbs through TNF-α, an effect that could play a role in leukocytes retention in inflamed joints. 相似文献

Junctional adhesion molecule-C regulates the early influx of leukocytes into tissues during inflammation 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Leukocyte recruitment from blood to inflammatory sites occurs in a multistep process that involves discrete molecular interactions between circulating and endothelial cells. Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C is expressed at different levels on endothelial cells of lymphoid organs and peripheral tissues and has been proposed to regulate neutrophil migration by its interaction with the leukocyte integrin Mac-1. In the present study, we show that the accumulation of leukocytes in alveoli during acute pulmonary inflammation in mice is partially blocked using neutralizing Abs against JAM-C. To confirm the function of JAM-C in regulating leukocyte migration in vivo, we then generated a strain of transgenic mice overexpressing JAM-C under the control of the endothelial specific promotor Tie2. The transgenic animals accumulate more leukocytes to inflammatory sites compared with littermate control mice. Intravital microscopy shows that this is the result of increased leukocyte adhesion and transmigration, whereas rolling of leukocytes is not significantly affected in transgenic mice compared with littermates. Thus, JAM-C participates in the later steps of the leukoendothelial adhesion cascade. 相似文献

The uptake of chlorine e6 derivatives by peripheral blood leukocytes was studied using a fluorescence-activated sorter. The analysis showed that the order of pigment uptake by leukocyte populations is the following: granulocytes > or = monocytes > lymphocytes. It was found that the accumulation of the pigments in the cell significantly varied. The level of chlorine e6 dimethyl ester accumulated by cells was found to be 15 times higher than that of chlorine e6. It was assumed that the differences in pigment uptake by different types of blood cells are due to structural and morphological features of leukocytes. The data obtained may be useful in developing the new methods of photodynamic therapy. 相似文献

机体老化与癌症、神经退行性疾病等许多复杂疾病相关。目前,研究者已在外周全血中识别了大量的与老化相关的DNA甲基化标记,这些标记可能反映外周血白细胞在机体老化过程中发生的变化,也可能反映外周血中与年龄相关的细胞构成比例的变化。文章利用3组正常个体外周全血DNA甲基化谱,采用Spearman秩相关分析识别了与老化相关的CpG甲基化位点(age-related DNA methylation CpG sites, arCpGs)并评价了其可重复性;利用去卷积算法估计了各外周血样本中髓性和淋巴性细胞的比例并分析了其与年龄的相关性;比较了在外周全血、CD4+T细胞和CD14+单核细胞中识别的arCpGs的一致性。结果显示,在独立外周全血数据中识别的arCpGs具有显著的可重复性(超几何检验,P=1.65×10-11)。外周血髓性和淋巴性细胞的比例分别与年龄显著正、负相关(Spearman秩相关检验,P<0.05,r≤0.22),它们间DNA甲基化水平差异较大的CpG位点倾向于在外周全血中被识别为arCpGs。在CD4+T细胞中识别的arCpGs与在外周全血中识别的arCpGs显著交叠(超几何检验,P=6.14×10-12),且99.1%的交叠位点在CD4+T细胞及外周全血中的DNA甲基化水平与年龄的正、负相关性一致。尽管在CD14+单核细胞中识别的arCpGs与在外周全血中识别的arCpGs并不显著交叠,但是在交叠的51个arCpGs中,有90.1%的位点在CD14+单核细胞、外周全血以及CD4+T细胞中的DNA甲基化水平与年龄的正、负相关性一致,提示它们可能主要反映细胞间共同的改变。在外周全血中识别的arCpGs主要反映某些白细胞共同或特异的DNA甲基化改变,但是也有一部分反映外周血细胞比例构成的变化。 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The presence of malignant breast cancer cells in bone marrow or peripheral blood is a prognostic factor. We tested the capacity of a novel magnetic cell analyzer to detect rare cancer cells in mixtures with human peripheral leukocytes. METHODS: Human peripheral leukocytes were spiked with cells of the MCF-7 line, and the cell mixture was labeled with anti-epithelial membrane antigen antibody and a magnetic colloid. The MCF-7 cells were selectively captured on a magnetic deposition substrate from the flowing leukocyte and MCF-7 cell mixture. RESULTS: The recovery of the MCF-7 cells from the original mixture ranged from 20% to 60%. The limit of detection of the MCF-7 cells was 10(-6) (n = 9). The morphology of the captured cancer cells was well preserved and comparable to that observed in cytospin smears. All deposited cells were located in a small area of 1.4 mm x 6 mm and could be quickly identified with an optical microscope following Wright's staining. CONCLUSIONS: This is a proof-of-principle study using a simplified model of rare cancer cells in a leukocyte mixture. The clinical relevance of the method will be tested in the future by extension to patient bone marrow samples and using antibody cocktails to increase specificity against the breast carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Antigen presentation by Toxoplasma gondii-infected cells to CD4+ proliferative T cells and CD8+ cytotoxic cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Cytotoxic cells specific for Toxoplasma gondii-infected cells were detected in the peripheral blood leukocytes from a patient with acute toxoplasmosis. The cytotoxicity was mediated by CD5+, CD4-, CD8+ cells. The cytotoxic T cells lysed Toxoplasma-infected target cells with HLA class I restriction. Two types of T cell clones were established from peripheral blood leukocytes of a patient with chronic toxoplasmosis; one was a CD5+, CD4-, CD8+ cytotoxic cell specific for Toxoplasma-infected cells, and the other was a CD5+, CD4+, CD8- proliferative cell that responded to Toxoplasma antigen. Toxoplasma-infected cell-specific cytotoxic cloned T cells recognize the infected target cells in the context of the HLA class I molecules, and the CD8 molecule was involved in the cytotoxicity. Toxoplasma antigen-specific proliferative cloned T cells were stimulated by Toxoplasma antigen-pulsed or Toxoplasma-infected cells in conjunction with HLA-DR molecule on the target cells. Thus, antigen presentation by Toxoplasma-infected cells for activation of both cytotoxic and proliferative T cells has been demonstrated. 相似文献

A leukocyte population consisting of approximately 85% lymphocytes, prepared from human peripheral blood by centrifugation through a Ficoll-Hypaque gradient, was studied for its capacity to destroy antibody-coated human liver (Chang) cells in vitro. Cytolysis was a rapid event: increased ionic flux (86Rb) from the target cell occurred within 10 min of the addition of effector cells. Kinetic analysis of target cell destruction (51 Cr release) was compatible with a "one hit" hypothesis, thereby indicating that cytolysis resulted from a single collision was an effector cell. The initial rate of cytolysis was linear and related to the number of leukocytes added, but lysis at all of the leukocyte to target cell ratios tested ceased after 5 hr. The number of target cells killed at that time was directly proportional to the number of leukocytes added. While the lytic capacity of the effector population was totally depleted after incubation with antibody-coated target cells, cytotoxicity was not affected by co-culturing leukocytes with Chang cells treated with pre-immune serum. The cytotoxic effector cells functioning in this antibody-dependent lytic system are thus to be contrasted with killer T cells, whose lytic activity is not compromised by interaction with homologous target cells. It was estimated that approximately 4% of the leukocyte population employed could kill antibody-coated Chang cells, a figure consistent with the estimated frequency of "null" cells within human peripheral lymphocytes. 相似文献
