STUDY OF LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN PERIPHERAL-BLOOD AND SECONDARY LYMPHOID ORGANS IN THE GOAT USING MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES TO SURFACE-MARKERS OF BOVINE LYMPHOCYTES
Ja. Navarro et al., STUDY OF LYMPHOCYTE SUBPOPULATIONS IN PERIPHERAL-BLOOD AND SECONDARY LYMPHOID ORGANS IN THE GOAT USING MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES TO SURFACE-MARKERS OF BOVINE LYMPHOCYTES, Veterinary immunology and immunopathology, 51(1-2), 1996, pp. 147-156
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to surface markers of bovine lymphocytes
MHC I, MHC II, B-cells, T-cells (CD2, CD4, CD8 and gamma/delta) and in
terleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor were tested in the goat by flow cytometry
and using immunohistochemical methods. Samples from peripheral blood a
nd secondary lymphoid organs (mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen and ileal
Peyer's patch) were studied. The percentage of positive cells obtaine
d by flow cytometry and its compartmentalisation in different tissue s
ections showed that the mAbs against MHC I, MHC II, CD2, CD4, CD8, gam
ma/delta and IL-2 receptor recognised lymphocyte subpopulations simila
r to those present in the bovine. However, the mAbs tested on B-cells
reacted only partially in the recognition of this subpopulation.
