In the veterinary field, only limited information is available about interleukin-17A (IL-17), despite the fact that this cytokine plays an important role during pro-inflammatory immune responses and induces the production of chemotactic factors for neutrophils. The aim of this study was to characterize porcine IL-17-producing cells. We tested the cross-reactivity of five anti-human IL-17 monoclonal antibodies because such antibodies against porcine IL-17 are currently unavailable. Whole blood cells (WBCs) were stimulated with phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin and subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry. The antibody clone SCPL1362 was found to cross-react with porcine IL-17, whereas the other four antibodies tested did not recognize this cytokine. Using this antibody, we characterized porcine WBC-secreting IL-17 after PMA and ionomycin stimulation. All IL-17-producing WBCs were positive for the T lymphocyte marker CD3. Myeloid cells (CD172α(+)) and B lymphocytes (CD79α(+)) were IL-17 negative. The major subset of IL-17 positive T lymphocytes was the CD4(+) lymphocytes (about 60% of all IL-17 positive WBCs). The remaining IL-17 positive WBCs were γδTCR(+) lymphocytes. CD8 positive and CD8 negative cells were found within both CD4(+) and γδTCR(+) cells producing the cytokine. Moreover, IL-17 positive cells were mostly CD45RA negative, therefore activated cells or memory cells. Flow cytometry data were confirmed using sorted cells. Both sorted CD4(+) and γδTCR(+) cells produced IL-17 at mRNA level after PMA and ionomycin stimulation while double negative CD4(-)γδTCR(-) cells were negative for IL-17. We can conclude that only two subpopulations of porcine WBCs are sources of IL-17 after non-specific stimulation: CD3(+)CD4(+) and CD3(+)γδTCR(+).

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

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.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.

D016692 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta T-cell receptors composed of CD3-associated gamma and delta polypeptide chains and expressed primarily in CD4-/CD8- T-cells. The receptors appear to be preferentially located in epithelial sites and probably play a role in the recognition of bacterial antigens. The T-cell receptor gamma/delta chains are separate and not related to the gamma and delta chains which are subunits of CD3 (see ANTIGENS, CD3).
