Clinically normal, bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-seronegative, 7 to 9-month-old steers were inoculated intranasally with NY-1, a noncytopathic strain of BVDV, or exposed intramuscularly to killed BVDV. Indirect immunofluorescence staining with monoclonal antibodies specific for bovine leukocyte subsets followed by flow cytometric analysis was used to monitor subsequent hematologic alterations. Infection with BVDV resulted in a transient leukopenia which was characterized by decreases in the absolute numbers of circulating T lymphocytes, including BoT4+ ("helper") and BoT8+ ("cytotoxic/suppressor") subsets, B lymphocytes, and neutrophils. There was no significant variation in numbers of non-T, non-B ("null") lymphocytes or monocytes. Exposure to inactivated BVDV in a combination vaccine did not cause significant alteration in the circulating numbers of any major leukocyte subset; however, significant variation was seen in the BoT4/BoT8 ratios and in the numbers of cells expressing major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D001912 Bovine Virus Diarrhea-Mucosal Disease Acute disease of cattle caused by the bovine viral diarrhea viruses (DIARRHEA VIRUSES, BOVINE VIRAL). Often mouth ulcerations are the only sign but fever, diarrhea, drop in milk yield, and loss of appetite are also seen. Severity of clinical disease varies and is strain dependent. Outbreaks are characterized by low morbidity and high mortality. Mucosal Disease, Bovine Viral Diarrhea,Bovine Virus Diarrhea Mucosal Disease

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.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
