The kinetics and phenotype of T lymphocytes infiltrating the airways of guinea pigs undergoing late-phase asthmatic reactions (LAR) were studied with monoclonal antibodies, cytofluorimetry, and immunocytochemistry. Challenge of sensitized animals with aerosolized ovalbumin was followed by early (2 h) and late-phase (17 h) bronchoconstriction. The induction of hypersensitivity, by aerosolized antigen, was associated with an increase in mucosal T cell numbers, which consisted almost entirely of CD8+ T cells. Following allergen challenge of fully sensitized animals, a biphasic rise in total T cell (CD3+) numbers was observed in the bronchial mucosa, peaking at 17 and 48 h. A similar pattern of T cell accumulation was observed in the bronchial adventitia but with an extra early peak at 2 h. In contrast to the T cell influx of the sensitization phase, the postchallenge infiltrate consisted largely of CD3+, CD8- cells. Eosinophil numbers were elevated in both submucosa and adventitia, with a single broad peak between 17 and 48 h. T cell infiltration was compared with eosinophil accumulation; while correlations between T cell and eosinophil numbers varied over the 96 h of the experiment, strong associations were observed between CD8+ numbers and eosinophils in the adventitia at 6 h (r = 0.733, p less than 0.01) and between CD3+ numbers and eosinophils in the submucosa at 72 h (r = 0.88, p less than 0.001). No significant changes were detected in T cell or eosinophil numbers in the lung parenchyma. There was a postchallenge increase in eosinophils (but not T cells) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.

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.
