We have observed that canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells are ineffective as mediators of spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity (SCMC) despite being excellent mediators of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Canine lymphocytes were unable to kill seven cell lines in SCMC assays including Chang, K-562, dog kidney, and foetal intestine. One the other hand, they were able to kill Chang and K-562 cell line cells as well as chicken red blood cells in ADCC assay systems. Canine mononuclear cells were 40% E-rosette forming, 30% surface immunoglobulin bearing, 14% Fc receptor bearing, and 13% esterase staining. K-562 cell line cells inhibited the capability of human peripheral blood cells but not canine peripheral blood cells to kill CRBCs in an ADCC assay. Fc-receptor bearing human lymphocytes of both T-cell and null-cell subclasses mediated both SCMC and ADCC, while Fc-receptor bearing canine lymphocytes mediated ADCC but not SCMC. These observations add to the evidence of a dichotomy between SCMC and ADDC with regards to either cell type or cell processes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type. NK Cells,Natural Killer Cells,Cell, NK,Cell, Natural Killer,Cells, NK,Cells, Natural Killer,Killer Cell, Natural,NK Cell,Natural Killer Cell
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

D011947 Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.
