T and B peripheral blood lymphocytes in normal and lymphocytotic sheep. 1987

S Djilali, and A L Parodi

Surface immunoglobulins (SIg), Peanut Agglutinin (PNA), spontaneous erythrocyte rosette (E-rosette) and Helix pomatia (HP) marker were investigated in normal and Bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-infected sheep. In normal sheep, 19.3% +/- 4.9 of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were SIg+, whereas 58% +/- 5.69 were PNA+, and 19.6 +/- 5.2 were E-rosette forming cells (E-RFC). In BLV-induced lymphocytotic sheep, SIg+ cells in PBL reached 59.4% +/- 15.06. In the same animals, PNA bound to 20.6% +/- 9.69 and E-RFC were 8.7% +/- 4.5. A panning technique was applied with an anti sheep-immunoglobulins coated plates to separate SIg+ (adherent cells = A) and SIg- cells (non-adherent cells = NA). The (A) population was 94-95% SIg+ cells and 2-3% PNA+, while the (NA) population was 0-4% SIg+ and 79-85% PNA+ cells. Thus PNA is a T cell marker in sheep species. HP, a marker for bovine T lymphocytes was also studied. Sheep PBL do not bind to HP. However, after panning separation about 50% of NA cells became HP+.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007136	Immunoglobulins	Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

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.

D001402	B-Lymphocytes	Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity.

D012397	Rosette Formation	The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells.	Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
