Demonstration of cytotoxic lymphocytes to virus-infected target cells in pigs inoculated with transmissible gastroenteritis virus

Abstract
Lymphocytes, cytotoxic to virus-infected target cells, were induced in pigs orally exposed to transmissible gastroenteritis virus. They were studied and experiments were carried out by using autochthonous testicle cells as target cells to avoid genetic incompatibility of effector lymphocytes and target cells. Cytotoxic lymphocytes were demonstrated in Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, and peripheral blood on postinoculation day (PID) 7. Cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes increased thereafter and reached the maximal amount at PID 21. Lymphocyte cytotoxicity was somewhat greater in lymphocytes of peripheral blood and spleen than in those of Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes after PID 14. On the contrary, lymphocyte reactivity to the viral antigen measured by lymphocyte proliferative assay was higher in Peyer's patch and mesenteric lymph node cells than in peripheral blood and splenic cells. Lymphocyte cytotoxicity was depressed by treating effector cells with anti-porcine thymocyte serum and complement. However, lymphocyte suspensions treated with anti-porcine thymocyte serum and complement were still cytotoxic to some extent against virus-infected target cells, although T lymphocytes were completely excluded by the treatment. This suggests that cytotoxic mechanism other than the direct action of cytotoxic T lymphocytes may be involved in the cytotoxicity assay systems used in the present studies. In experiments in which allogenic cells (testicle cells of siblings) were used together with autochthonous cells as targets, lymphocyte cytotoxicity was equally expressed against both autochthonous and allogenic target cells in 2 of 3 experiments. However, lymphocyte cytotoxicity was greater against autochthonous cells than against allogenic target cells in 1 of 3 experiments.
