Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To characterize 2 bovine neutrophil monoclonal antibodies (MAB) as to effects on bovine neutrophil function and their binding antigens on the cell surface of bovine neutrophils. ANIMALS: 16 healthy, lactating Holstein cattle, 1 calf with leukocyte adhesion deficiency, and 1 age-matched control calf, 2 healthy ewes, and 2 healthy human beings as neutrophil sources. PROCEDURE: Neutrophil chemotactic and respiratory burst activities and calcium influx, and binding properties of the 2 MAB were determined. Molecular mass of corresponding cell surface antigens also was determined, as was binding of human L-selectin MAB DREG56 to molecules recognized by MAB 11G10 and 2G8 on the surface of bovine neutrophils. RESULTS: MAB 11G10 and 2G8 inhibited chemotactic activity of bovine neutrophils, up-regulated amplitude of native chemiluminescence, and shortened the time to reach maximal chemiluminescence induced by serum-opsonized zymosan. Crosslinking both MAB with a second antibody induced rapid increase in intracellular free calcium concentration. Binding density of MAB 11G10 and 2G8 to bovine neutrophils treated with trypsin was increased (P < 0.05), compared with that of untreated neutrophils. Neutrophils treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C had decreased (P < 0.05) binding density of MAB 11G10 and 2G8. Binding of the various MAB to neutrophils from calves with bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency was lower (P < 0.05) than binding to neutrophils from healthy calves. Expression of antigens recognized by the aforementioned MAB on the surface of bovine neutrophils was decreased (P < 0.05) within 10 minutes. CONCLUSION: MAB 11G10 and 2G8 recognized L-selectin molecules on bovine neutrophil membrane. L-Selectin (CD62L) is involved in low-affinity adhesion reactions between leukocytes and L-selectin ligand on postcapillary venular endothelial cells. |
