The effect of viable Mycoplasma bovis on the in vitro bovine peripheral blood lymphocyte response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was studied. Results showed that M. bovis did not act as a mitogen for bovine lymphocytes. Viable M. bovis produced a dose and time dependent suppression of the PHA stimulated lymphocyte response. Suppression was not a result of differences in the viability of infected or control lymphocyte cultures. The suppressive effect of M. bovis was found to be independent of the concentration of PHA used in the test and the lymphocyte response could not be restored by supplementation of the culture medium with arginine. Delay for 48 h after PHA stimulation before adding M. bovis to the lymphocyte cultures diminished, but did not prevent, the suppression of the lymphocyte response. These results show that suppression of the lymphocyte response does not require the presence of M. bovis during the period of PHA stimulation, and that M. bovis was capable of interrupting [3H]-thymidine incorporation in lymphocytes which were actively synthesizing DNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
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.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D009174 Mycoplasma A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.
