The effects of immunosuppression were examined in 1.5-month-old calves that were given dexamethasone (DM) before endobronchial inoculation with bovine adenovirus type 3 (BAV-3). Immunohistopathologically, severe necrotizing bronchiolitis with eosinophilic and basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies was observed both in DM-treated 1.5-month-old infected calves and in non-DM-treated 7-day-old infected calves. These inclusion bodies were correlated with the detection of BAV-3 antigen and viral particles. The presence of inclusion bodies in the desquamated epithelial cells or of BAV-3 antigen, or both, correlated well with the isolated level of BAV-3 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Few immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, and IgA)-containing B lymphocytes or CD8+ T lymphocytes infiltrated the pneumonic lesion in both the 7-day-old and the DM-treated 1.5-month-old infected calves. Thus, depletion of CD8+ T lymphocytes in calves might influence the clearance of BAV-3 from respiratory tissues.

D008168	Lung	Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.	Lungs
D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy

D001990	Bronchiolitis, Viral	An acute inflammatory disease of the lower RESPIRATORY TRACT, caused by paramyxoviruses, occurring primarily in infants and young children; the viruses most commonly implicated are PARAINFLUENZA VIRUS TYPE 3; RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS, HUMAN; and METAPNEUMOVIRUS.

D001992	Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid	Washing liquid obtained from irrigation of the lung, including the BRONCHI and the PULMONARY ALVEOLI. It is generally used to assess biochemical, inflammatory, or infection status of the lung.

D002479	Inclusion Bodies	A generic term for any circumscribed mass of foreign (e.g., lead or viruses) or metabolically inactive materials (e.g., ceroid or MALLORY BODIES), within the cytoplasm or nucleus of a cell. Inclusion bodies are in cells infected with certain filtrable viruses, observed especially in nerve, epithelial, or endothelial cells.
