چکیده

The induction of apoptosis by bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) was examined in bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) incubated with an antigenically homologous pair of non-cytopathic and cytopathic BVDV. Our results show that the cytopathic biotype, in contrast to the non-cytopathic counterpart, induces apoptosis in PBMC. Flow cytometry analysis of cells undergoing apoptosis revealed that: (1) monocytes constitute the major cell population undergoing apoptosis; (2) cytopathic virus also induces apoptosis in BoCD4+, BoCD8+ and BoWC1+ T cells in whole PBMC cultures but not in purified T cell suspensions; (3) the degree of apoptosis of BoCD4+ and BoCD8+ T cells incubated with the cytopathic virus was significantly enhanced by the presence of monocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that bovine monocytes play an important role in apoptosis induced by cytopathic BVDV.

Ganoderma Lucidum Induces the Expression of CD40/CD86 on Peripheral Blood Monocytes

Background: The major immuno-modulating effects of Ganoderma lucidum include mitogenicity and activation of immune effector cells such as T cells, macrophages and natural killer cells resulting in the production of cytokines. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of CD40 and CD80 by G. lucidum-treated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Methods: Monocytes wer...

Prevalence of Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus antibodies and antigen among the aborted cows in industrial dairy cattle herds in Mashhad area of Iran

The measurement of antibody responses of animals exposed to BVDV either through a natural exposure or an immunization protocol is still a standard procedure. For BVDV, the test formats have been largely limited to ELISA which is a valuable diagnostic test to measure the level of BVDV specific antibodies as well as antigen in blood samples. In the present study, 120 blood samples were collected ...

Demonstration of bovine viral diarrhoea virus in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of persistently infected, clinically normal cattle.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBL) from cattle known to be persistently viraemic with bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) following a foetal infection, were examined for the presence of viral antigens and cell-associated infectious virus. Using immunocytochemical techniques, physical separations of PBL subsets and virus isolation techniques (directly and by cocultivation) it was found tha...

Detection of bovine viral diarrhoea virus p80 protein in subpopulations of bovine leukocytes.

Flow cytometry and two-colour immunofluorescence were used to detect cytoplasmic bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) antigen in leukocytes from viraemic cattle. Monoclonal antibody to the p80 protein of BVDV, a non-structural viral antigen, was used to identify the subpopulations of leukocytes in which viral protein synthesis had occurred. Viral antigen was detected in 23% of peripheral blood m...

The effect of bovine viral diarrhea virus on bovine monocyte phenotype

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen of the livestock industry worldwide. BVDV is classified into cytopathic (cp) and noncytopathic (ncp), depending on its effects on cultured cells. BVDV is known to alter the host’s immune response. Of this, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules play a central role in the development and function of the i...
