Abstract:
:A number of studies have determined the contribution of Th1 and Th2 responses to the protective immunity and pathology of Mycobacterium bovis infection. However, much of that information is derived from experimentally infecting cattle with M. bovis and few data from naturally infected animals are available. The aim of this study was to characterize the immunological profile towards M. bovis antigens of naturally infected cattle by measurement of cytokine mRNA expression in PBMC, and to determine which lymphocyte subsets are involved in recall responses of PBMC from M. bovis infected cattle to M. bovis antigens. Consistent with data from cattle experimentally infected with M. bovis, naturally infected animals were found to display a Th1 cytokine profile in response to M. bovis PPDB stimulation. Production of IFN-gamma mRNA by PBMC after PPDB stimulation statistically distinguishes between infected and healthy herds, suggesting that this molecule is usable as an M. bovis-infection marker. As happens in experimentally infected cows, CD4, CD8 and gammadeltaTCR cells from a herd naturally infected with M. bovis are the predominant T cell subsets expanded in response to PPDB.
