Interleukin-12 p40 mRNA expression in bovine leukemia virus-infected animals: increase in alymphocytosis but decrease in persistent lymphocytosis.
Interleukin-12 (IL-12), a key cytokine in immune regulation, has an important role in activating the cell-mediated immune response in infectious diseases. Recently, a dichotomy between IL-12 and IL-10 regarding progression of a variety diseases has emerged. IL-12 activates type 1 cytokine production and has an antagonistic effect on type 2 cytokines. Here, by using quantitative competitive PCR,...
متن کاملAnalysis of Syk expression in bovine lymphoma and persistent lymphocytosis induced by bovine leukemia virus.
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is closely related to various cell reactions. In B-cells, Syk is involved in early B-cell receptor signaling, which affects cellular survival, proliferation and differentiation. Although the kinetics of Syk mRNA and its activity are variable in different types of tumor cells, Syk may have a relation to tumor progression in many human tumors, including B-cell lymphom...
متن کاملCellular basis of persistent lymphocytosis in cattle infected with bovine leukemia virus.
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 14 cattle infected with the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) and 14 BLV-free cattle were examined by the membrane immunofluorescent antibody technique to detect surface immunoglobulin (S-Ig) and by the erythrocyte-antibody-complement (EAC) rosette test for the detection of complement receptors. Direct comparisons of the percentages of S-Ig-bearing cells and EAC rose...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid receptors in peripheral blood lymphocytes from bovine leukemia virus-infected cows with persistent lymphocytosis.
Bovine leukemia virus-infected cows with persistent lymphocytosis have an expanded population of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood that is sensitive to glucocorticoids in vitro and in vivo. We examined peripheral blood lymphocytes from cows with persistent lymphocytosis for the presence of specific glucocorticoid receptors. Steroid binding in intact cells was determined by a whole cell comp...
متن کاملIncreased cell proliferation, but not reduced cell death, induces lymphocytosis in bovine leukemia virus-infected sheep.
Lymphocyte homeostasis is the result of a critical balance between cell proliferation and death. Disruption of this subtle equilibrium can lead to the onset of leukemia, an increase in the number of lymphocytes being potentially due to both of these parameters. The relative importance of cell proliferation vs. apoptosis during pathogenesis induced by the primate T cell lymphotropic viruses and ...
