Lymphocyte Apoptosis during Classical Swine Fever: Implication of Activation-Induced Cell Death

Abstract: Infection of pigs with classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, causes a severe leukopenia, particularly notable with the lymphocytes. The goal of this study was to analyze mechanisms behind this CSFV-induced lymphopenia. To this end, the kinetics of leukocyte depletion, the appearance of apoptotic cells, and virus infection of leukocytes after infection of pigs with the virulent CSFV strain Brescia were analyzed. Depletion of B and T lymphocytes was noted as early as 1 day post… Show more

“…In the acute phase of many other virus infections a lymphopenia with characteristics as those presented here can be observed (Oldstone, 1996). Examples include classical swine fever (Summerfield et al, 1998, bovine viral diarrhea (Ridpath et al, 2000), porcine Circovirus-2 infection (Nielsen et al, 2003), influenza (Tumpey et al, 2000), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (Peiris et al, 2003), foot and mouth disease (Bautista et al, 2003), Dengue virus infection (Fadilah et al, 1999), cytomegalovirus infection (Einsele et al, 1993), and many others. Interestingly, in many cases a correlation of disease severeness and degree of lymphocyte depletion was observed.…”

“…Lymphocyte proliferation assay was performed using PBMCs from immunized pigs, and swine PBMCs were isolated as described by Summerfield et al (1998). The PBMCs were plated in 96-well round-bottom plates at a concentration of 2 9 10 5 cells/well (100 lL/well) and incubated with or without PRRSV (10 4 TCID 50 / well) in hexaplicate for 72 h at 37°C in 5% CO 2 .…”

“…Some viral infections of swine cause immunopathology by inducing a decline in circulating lymphocytes. Classical swine fever virus, for example, induces a severe lymphopenia of 7-10 days duration (51)(52)(53). PRRSV causes a transient leukopenia (54,55) and pathology in lymphoid tissues of infected swine (56).…”
