چکیده

To determine whether the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) phenotype of cattle could affect the parasite strain specificity of immunity to Theileria parva by influencing the antigenic specificity of Theileria-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), we investigated the parasite strain specificity of Theileria-specific CTL clones derived from cattle of different class I MHC phenotypes. Thirty-one class I-restricted CTL clones were generated from four cattle immunized with the Muguga stock of T. parva. The MHC restriction and parasite strain specificities were determined for each clone utilizing as targets, parasitized cell lines of different MHC phenotypes and cloned cell lines containing different parasite strains. CTL clones restricted by the same MHC determinant had similar parasite strain specificities. On the other hand, clones restricted by different MHC determinants exhibited different parasite strain specificities. This was true whether the clones were generated from the same animal or from different cattle and tested on a target cell line expressing both MHC determinants. These results provide strong evidence that differences in the strain specificities of CTL derived from animals immunized with the same parasite stock, are determined by the class I MHC phenotype of the immunized animal.

Parasite strain specificity of bovine cytotoxic T cell responses to Theileria parva is determined primarily by immunodominance.

The parasite strain specificity of CTL responses to Theileria parva varies among cattle immunized with the same parasite stock. We have investigated the influence of class I MHC on the strain specificity of CTL responses to T. parva in 19 cattle of defined class I phenotype immunized with either of two T. parva populations, in which protection to subsequent reciprocal challenge correlated with ...

Parasite strain specificity of precursor cytotoxic T cells in individual animals correlates with cross-protection in cattle challenged with Theileria parva.

Class I major histocompatibility complex-restricted parasite-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are known to be a major component of the bovine immune response to the protozoan parasite Theileria parva, but formal proof for their role in protection of cattle against infection with T. parva has been lacking. Animals immunized with one stock of T. parva show variations in the degree of protec...

Theileria annulata and T. parva infect and transform different bovine mononuclear cells.

Bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were labelled with monoclonal antibodies recognizing bovine MHC class II, sIgM, monocyte, T-helper and T-cytotoxic cell phenotypes. They were sorted into positive and negative populations with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). The cell populations were infected in vitro with sporozoites of either Theileria annulata or T. parva, and the...

Use of “one-pot, mix-and-read” peptide-MHC class I tetramers and predictive algorithms to improve detection of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in cattle

Peptide-major histocompatibility complex (p-MHC) class I tetramer complexes have facilitated the early detection and functional characterisation of epitope specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Here, we report on the generation of seven recombinant bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) and recombinant bovine β2-microglobulin from which p-MHC class I tetramers can be derived in ~48 h. We valid...

Bovine gd T-Cell Responses to the Intracellular Protozoan Parasite Theileria parva†

T cells bearing the gd antigen receptor (gd T cells) can constitute up to 50% of T cells in the peripheral blood and lymphoid organs of young cattle. We present data showing that gd T cells are involved in immune responses against Theileria parva. gd T cells isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of T. parva-naive and -immune cattle proliferated in the presence of fixed or unfi...
