Effect of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist on Concanavalin A Response of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Newborn Calves.

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The coexistence of interleukin (IL)-1β with IL-1 receptor antagonist (ra) in bovine colostrum and the possibility of simultaneous transfer of these cytokines to neonates via colostrum have been demonstrated. In the present study, we investigated the effect of IL-1ra on the mitogenic response of calf peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated by concanavalin A (ConA), which was mediated by IL-1. Pretreatment of PBMC with recombinant bovine (rb) IL-1ra alone significantly suppressed the proli… Show more

“…However, mitogenic activities of PBMC from colostrum-fed calves were significantly higher than those of PBMC from colostrum-deprived calves after stimulation with ConA [7]. Indeed, we confirmed that coexistence of IL-1ra with IL-1β in colostrum had no effect on the mitogenic response of neonatal PBMC [21]. The cytokine inhibitors in colostrum may play a role in amelioration of the adverse effects of cytokines as suggested by Buescher and Malinowska [1].…”

“…Sera were stored at -30°C until use. PBMC from newborn calves (n=10) were prepared from heparinized peripheral blood of healthy calves at birth to 28 days after birth as described previously [21].The concentrations of five cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1ra) in sera were determined by sandwich ELISA using affinity-purified IgGs specific for each cytokine as described previously [5,6,20]. These affinity-purified IgGs from rabbit immunized with each recombinant bovine cytokine were used for capture ELISA.…”

“…The blastogenic activity of the cells in culture was evaluated by an MTT assay (20). The procedure used for the culture has been described previously (34). Briefly, 1ϫ10 5 of PBMC in RPMI-1640 medium (Sigma, U.S.A.) containing 10% FCS was added to each well of a 96-well microculture plate (Falcon, U.S.A.) along with serially diluted whey or recombinant cytokines.…”
