Immunological aspects of Theileria annulata infection calves. 2. Production of macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) by sensitized lymphocytes from Theileria annulata-infected calves. 1981

G Rehbein, and J S Ahmed, and E Schein, and F Hörchner, and E Zweygarth

Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from calves infected experimentally with a stabilate of Theileria annulate, produced a factor which inhibited the migration of macrophages. This was first demonstrated against schizont antigen in some animals on day 8 post infection while in the others on day 12. The highest activity of the macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) was recorded on day 12 in some of the infected animals and on day 16 in the others, whereas on day 30 or more MIF was demonstrable. The MIF was also demonstrated against piroplasm antigen. 64 days after the first infection, the recovered calves were challenged with the homologous strain. It was found that PBLs from all challenged calves were able to produce MIF against both, schizont and piroplasm antigen. These results indicate occurrence of sensitized lymphocytes as effector cells of cell-mediated immunity to T. annulata infection.

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
D008263 Macrophage Migration-Inhibitory Factors Proteins released by sensitized LYMPHOCYTES and possibly other cells that inhibit the migration of MACROPHAGES away from the release site. The structure and chemical properties may vary with the species and type of releasing cell.

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.

D016782 Apicomplexa A phylum of unicellular parasitic EUKARYOTES characterized by the presence of complex apical organelles generally consisting of a conoid that aids in penetrating host cells, rhoptries that possibly secrete a proteolytic enzyme, and subpellicular microtubules that may be related to motility.
