소는 인간에게 고기와 우유를 제공하는 영양자원으로서 뿐만 아니라 노동력을 제공하는 중요한 가축 동물 중의 하나이다. 또한 사람의 질병을 규명하고 예방 및 치료의 실험적 도구로서도 많이 이용되고 있으나, 대동물이라는 점과 경제적인 이유로서 일반적인 응용과 실험적 적용에 어려움이 되어왔다. 저자들은 이와 같은 사정을 감안하여 실험적 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여, 한우를 대상으로 말초혈액상과 특히 림프아군의 특성을 알아본 결과 다음과 같이 일부 결과를 얻었다. 즉, 한우 22마리(암컷 12마리, 숫컷 10마리)의 말초혈액을 채혈하여 림프구 표면항원의 특성을 단클론항체와 반응시키고 flow cytometry로 측정한 결과 CD2는 숫컷에서 53%, 암컷에서 54%의 반응을 보였고, CD4는 숫컷에서 30% 암컷에서 32%의 반응을 보였으며, CD8에서는 숫컷에서 13%, 암컷에서 13%의 반응을 보였다. 그리고 말초혈액상은 RBC가 숫컷 7.20$\times10^6{mm}^3$, 암컷 6.35$\times10^6{mm}^3$이었고 WBC는 숫컷 8.09$\times10^3{mm}^3$, 암컷 7.09$\times10^3{mm}^3$었으며 leukocyte differential counts 에서는 lymphocytes, Neutrophils, Eosinophils의 순으로 높은 성적을 보였다.

We have previously observed that glycyrrhizin(GL) inhibits the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells via the production of nitric oxide from peritoneal macrophages. In the present study, we examined the effect of GL on Iymphocytes subpopulation change of L1210 cells-transplanted mice. GL increased the population of $CD4^-CD8^+$ cells of thymocytes in L1210 cells-transplanted mice and the lucigenin chemiluminescence of human polymorphonuclear cells. These results suggest that the proliferation of transplanted-L1210 cells is partly inhibited by an enhancement of cytotoxic T cells population and phagocytic activity in GL-administered mice.

고강도운동의 지속시간이 백혈구 조성과 T-림프구 활성 보조인자로서의 $CD4^+$와 $CD8^+$수준의 변화 그리고 림프수의 세포사에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 쥐실험을 하였다. 고강도 운동을 매일 20, 60, 그리고 120분 동안 8주간 실시하였다. 혈액내의 총 백혈구 수는 20분간 운동을 했을 때 상승하였고 이것은 다시 120분 까지 대조군의 수준 이하로 감소하였다. 림프구의 수준변화 패턴 역시 운동시간의 영향을 받았으며 그 변화 정도는 총 백혈구의 그것과 유사하였다. 고강도운동을 실시한 쥐의 혈액 내 $CD4^+$와 $CD8^+$의 수준은 운동시간이 120분간 지속될 때까지 변화가 없었기 때문에 T-림프구의 활성에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 보인다. 거의 모든 초기단계 및 후기 단계의 림프구의 세포자멸사는 운동시간에 영향을 받지 않았으나 120분간 운동한 그룹에서 후기단계의 림프구 자멸사 수준이 증가되는 것으로 보아 이때 세포노화의 촉진이 일어났으리라 사료된다. 운동시간이 길어질수록 림프구의 괴사 수준이 증가되는 것을 확인 하였고 이에 따라 고강도운동에 의한 림프구 손상과 면역력 저하의 가능성이 예상된다. 본 연구에서 장시간 동안의 고강도 운동은 림프구의 염증관련 기능과 세포 수에 있어서의 손상 등을 일으켜 면역력의 저하를 초래할 수 있다고 보며 따라서 적어도 본 연구조건에 한해서 20분 이상의 고강도운동은 건강유지 차원에서 바람직하지 않다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 노화에 따른 영양 태와 면역지표의 변화를 알아보기 위해 연령대가 다른 성인 여성 총 54명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연령 이외의 환경적 유전적 차이를 최소화하기 위하여 대부분이 한 가족 내 3세대, 즉 20대인 딸, 40~50대인 어머니, 60세 이상의 할머니들로 구성시켰다. 대상자들의 신체 계측, 식이 섭취 조사, 생화학적 검사를 통해 영양상태를 판정하였고, 면역지표를 평가하기 위해 총 백혈구 수 및 백혈구 백분율을 측정하였다. 또한 세포매개성 면역능력을 측정하기 위해 T ltmphocyte과 CD4 +, CD8 + 그리고 NK cells의 수와 비율을 측정하였으며 체액성 면역지표를 알아보기 위해 면역 글로불린 G, A, M의 농도를 측정하였다. 신체 계측 결과 연령이 증가됨에 따라 평균 체지방 함량은 증가하였고 체내 총 수분량과 근육의 양은 줄어드는 경향을 나타냈다. 각 연령별 영양 섭취 상태를 조사한 결과 20대 여대생군의 경우 열량과 철분을 제외한 다른 영양소의 영양상태는 비교적 양호하였으나 3대 영양소의 열량 섭취 비율 또한 한국인 영양섭취기준과 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 40~50대 어머니군에서도 철분의 영양 상태가 권장량에 비해 부족하였고, 할머니군에서는 에너지 섭취량은 권장량에 비해 낮은 반면 단백질과 철분의 섭취량은 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 총 백혈구 수 및 백혈구 백분율은 조사 대상자 대부분이 정상 범위에 속해 연령 증가에 따른 유의성이 없었으며, T lymphocyte 및 CD4 +, CD8 +와 NK cells을 조사한 결과 T lymphocyte과 CD4 + T cells은 연령 증가에 따라 유의적 차를 보이지 않는 반면 CD8 + T cells은 연령이 증가할수록 유의적으로 감소하여 CD4 +：CD8 +의 비율이 노화됨에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타냈고, 전체 lymphocyte 중에서 NK cells과 B lymphocyte 수는 유의적 차를 보이지 않았으나 면역 글로불린 M은 노화에 따라 그 농도가 감소하는데 비해 면역 글로불린 A는 각 군별 유의성이 없었고, 면역 글로불린 G는 어머니군에서 유의적으로 높았다. 영양 면역학은 비교적 최근의 관심 분야이고 더욱이 국내에서 이 분야의 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 그러므로 급속히 발달하고 있는 면역학 이론의 올바른 이해와 새로운 연구 방법의 신속한 적용, 정확한 연구 결과의 해석으로 좀더 구체적이고 체계적인 연구를 통해 각 영양소가 인체 면역지표에 미치는 구체적 메커니즘을 밝히고 면역능 증진을 위한 생리적 활성을 줄 수 있는 각 영양소의 권장량에 대한 연구가 앞으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다.

We have extended our previous work that cross-linking CD4 molecules using specific MAb induced antigen nonspecific, MHC unrestricted killing of virally infected target cells by CD$4^+$We have extended our previous work that cross-linking CD$4^+$ molecules using specific MAb induced antigen nonspecific, MHC unrestricted killing of virally infected target cells by CD$4^+$ T cells. The killing activity of antibody activated CD$4^+$T cells was completely blocked by herbimycin A, a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor, but not by bisindolylamaleimide, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. Herbimycin A treated human or bovine peripheral blood CD$4^+$T cells lacked PTK activity and failed to kill virally infected target cells even after cross-linking of CD4 molecules. The CD$4^+$cross-linking failed to induce effector cell proliferation or the transcription of TNF${\beta}$ Upregulation of TNF${\beta}$ was induced by incubating the antibody activated effector cells with BHV-1 infected D17 target cells for 10 h. Anti-TNF${\beta}$ antibody partially abolished (13-44%) the direct effector cell-mediated antiviral cytotoxicity. However, this antibody neutralized 70 to 100% of antiviral activity of effector and target cell culture supernatants against BHV-1 infected D17 cells. The inhibition level of the antiviral activity by the antibody was dependent on the effector and target cell ratio. These results support the hypothesis that increased p$56^ICK enzyme activity in effector cells transduces a signal critical for effector cell recognition of viral glycoproteins expressed on the target cells. Following target cell recognition, lytic cytokines known to participate in target cell killing were produced. A better understanding of the killing activity displayed by CD$4^+$T lymphocytes following surface receptor cross-linking will provide insight into the mechanisms of cytotoxic activity directed toward virally-infected cells.T cells.

Canine T-zone lymphoma (TZL) is a mature T-cell lymphoma in dogs. The diagnosis and sub-classification are impossible without biopsy or immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. An 11-year-old, spayed, female Golden Retriever presented with lymph node enlargement. Clinical examination was consistent with canine multicentric lymphoma. However, immunophenotyping revealed positive for CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD21, TCRαβ, and MHCII but negative for CD34, CD45, CD79a, and TCRγδ. Histopathology revealed lymphocytes expanding to the cortex-preserving architecture and thinning of the nodal capsule, and CD3 positive but PAX-5 negative. Owing to the indolent nature of TZL, careful monitoring approach without clinical intervention was utilized.

To investigate the effects of short-term exposure of beryllium on the human immune system, the proportion of T-lymphocytes such as CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD95, and NK cells, and the proportion of B cells and $TNF{\alpha}$ level in peripheral blood and immunoglobulins in the serum of 43 exposed workers and 34 healthy control subjects were studied. External exposure to beryllium was measured by atomic absorption spectrometer as recommended by the NIOSH analytical method 7300. T lymphocyte subpopulation analysis was carried out with flow cytometer. The working duration of exposed workers was less than 3 months and the mean ambient beryllium level was $3.4{\mu}g/m^3$, $112.3{\mu}g/m^3$, and $2.3{\mu}g/m^3$ in molding (furnace), deforming (grinding), and sorting processes, respectively (cited from Kim et al., 2008). However, ambient beryllium level after process change was non-detectable (< $0.1{\mu}g/m^3$). The number of T lymphocytes and the amount of immunoglobulins in the beryllium-exposed workers and control subjects were not significantly different, except for the total number of lymphocytes and CD95 (APO1/FAS). The total number of lymphocytes was higher in the beryllium-exposed individuals than in the healthy control subjects. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed lymphocytes to be affected by beryllium exposure (odd ratio = 7.293; p<0.001). These results show that short-term exposure to beryllium does not induce immune dysfunction but is probably associated with lymphocytes proliferation.

Although there are many reports on the splenic (systemic) T cell response after Toxoptasma gondii infection, little information is available regarding the local T cell responses of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and gut intraepithelial Iymphocytes (IEL) following peroral infection with bradyzoites. Mice were infected with 40 cysts of the 76K strain of T. gondii, and then sacrificed at days 0, 1, 4, 7 and 10 postinfection (PI). The cellular composition and T cell responses of PEC and IEL were analyzed. The total number of PEC and IEL per mouse increased after infection, but the ratio of increase was higher in IEL. Lymphocytes were the major component of both PEC and IEL. The relative percentages of PEC macrophages and neutrophils/eosinophils increased signiflcantly at day 1 and 4 PI, whereas those of IEL did not change significantly. The percentage of PEC NK1.1 and ${\gamma\delta}T$ cells peaked at day 4 PI (p < 0.0001), and CD4 and $CD8{\alpha}T$ cells increased continuously after infection. The percentages of IEL $CD8{\alpha}$ and ${\gamma\delta}T$ cells decreased slightly at first, and then increased. CD4 and NK1.1 T cells of IEL did not change significantly after infection. $IFN-{\gamma}-producing$ PEC NK1.1 T cells increased significantly from day 1 PI, but the other T cell subsets produced $IFN-{\gamma}$ abundantly thereafter. The proportion of IEL $IFN-{\gamma}-producing$ $CD8{\alpha}$ and ${\gamma\delta}T$ cells increased significantly after infection, while IEL NK1.1 T cells had similar $IFN-{\gamma}$ production patterns. Taken together, CD4 T cells were the major phenotype and the important $IFN-{\gamma}$ producing T cell subsets in PEC after oral infection with T. gondii whereas $CD8{\alpha}T$ cells had these roles in IEL. These results suggest that PEC and IEL comprise different cell differentials and T cell responses, and according to infection route these factors may contribute to the different cellular immune responses.

The objective of this study was to characterize serum immunoglobulins and lymphocytes subpopulations in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Holstein calves in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge from Escherichia coli. Fourteen calves received subcutaneous injections of E. coli LPS at 10 weeks of age, and six calves were injected with saline as a control. The concentrations of total serum IgG and the relative amount of LPS-specific IgG in calves challenged with LPS were significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to control animals and LPS challenge significantly increased (p<0.05) the percentage of $CD5^+$ and $CD21^+$ T cells in PBMCs. Meanwhile, LPS challenge significantly increased (p<0.05, p<0.01) the percentage of $CD8^+$ and $CD25^+$ T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at 7 and 14 Day-post LPS challenge (DPLC), respectively. The composition of $CD4^+CD25^+$ T cells and $CD8^+CD25^+$ T cells from calves challenged with LPS was also higher (p<0.05 and p = 0.562, respectively) than those of control calves at 14 DPLC. In conclusion, LPS challenge not only induces production of IgG with expression of B-cell immune response related cell surface molecules, but also stimulates activation of T-lymphocytes in PBMC. Our results suggest that LPS challenge in calves is a good model to elucidate cellular immune response against Gram-negative bacterial infections.
