| Popis: | Evidence strongly supports a role for the lymphocyte transmembrane glycoprotein CD5 in intracellular signalling events, whereby antigen-dependent growth and differentiation signals are augmented. Apart from its role in activation-related signalling, CD5 has been regarded as a possible B cell lineage marker differentiating subsets, CD5+ B cells (also termed B1 cells) and conventional B cells (or B2 cells). To extend these investigations to the study of pigs, porcine B cells were examined for evidence of CD5 expression. The influence of cellular activation on CD5 expression and CD5's role in signal transduction events and lymphocyte proliferation were examined. Using an anti-porcine CD5 MoAb (b53b7), porcine B cells were shown to be heterogeneous for CD5 expression. As in other species, B lymphocyte CD5 expression is low (dull), while IgM is high (bright). Ten to 30% of pig blood B lymphocytes are CD5+, with the highest frequency in neonates. Anti-CD5 antibody treatment was sufficient to induce rapid but transient calcium ion flux in porcine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). CD5 expression increased on PBL following treatment with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or immobilized anti-IgM. LPS, PMA, and concanavalin A (Con A) but not anti-CD5, anti-IgM, or combinations of these antibodies induced lymphocyte 3H-thymidine uptake. CD5+ B cells are a common constituent of porcine circulating lymphocytes and resemble B1 cells of mice, man and other species in CD5 expression, frequency and lymphoid organ distribution. Porcine CD5, like CD5 in other species, mediates signal transduction, leading to changes in intracellular calcium concentration, but this signal alone is insufficient to promote cell division. A subset of porcine B cells up-regulates CD5 expression following phorbol ester activation. |
