OBJECTIVE To investigate the induction of cytotoxic T cells in carp (Cyprinus carpio) after inoculation of fish with 2 xenogeneic line cells and to examine specificity of the cytotoxic activity. METHODS 22 carp. METHODS Fish were inoculated with mouse myeloma line cells P3.NS-1/1Ag4.1 (NS-1) or chicken Marek's disease tumor-derived lymphoma line cells (MDCC MSB-1). Cytotoxic activity of immune lymphocytes was evaluated by incubating effector cells with homologous and heterologous target cells. Populations of effector cells were identified by blocking T-lymphocytes from effector cells, using anti-carp T-cell monoclonal antibody and complement. RESULTS Lymphocytes in blood, spleen, and head kidney of carp inoculated with NS-1 cells or MDCC MSB-1 cells had dose-dependent cytotoxic effects against homologous target cells but not against heterologous target cells. Lymphocytes from noninoculated carp did not have cytotoxic effects. Depletion of T-lymphocytes in spleen cells from NS-1-inoculated carp resulted in a decrease of cytotoxic activity against NS-1 cells. Cytotoxic activity of spleen lymphocytes from NS-1-inoculated or noninoculated carp was not evident when cytotoxic tests were performed after addition of anti-NS-1 carp serum. CONCLUSIONS Inoculation with xenogeneic target cells induces a specific cytotoxic T-cell response in carp. Thus, cell-mediated immunity plays a role in defense against infection of parasitic organisms such as protozoa and helminths.

D007770 L-Lactate Dehydrogenase A tetrameric enzyme that, along with the coenzyme NAD+, catalyzes the interconversion of LACTATE and PYRUVATE. In vertebrates, genes for three different subunits (LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C) exist. Lactate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, L-Lactate,Dehydrogenase, Lactate,L Lactate Dehydrogenase
D008380 Marek Disease A transmissible viral disease of birds caused by avian herpesvirus 2 (HERPESVIRUS 2, GALLID) and other MARDIVIRUS. There is lymphoid cell infiltration or lymphomatous tumor formation in the peripheral nerves and gonads, but may also involve visceral organs, skin, muscle, and the eye.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Included are glycoproteins in the various pathways of complement activation (CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; ALTERNATIVE COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; and LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY).

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
