1 CELL MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE

2 Chapter IV - CELL MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE Sujatha, M Evaluation of Immunological changes in Fish, Catla catla administered with bacterial pathogen, Aeromonas hydrophila, Ph.D., Thesis, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore Introduction Cell mediated immunity is controlled by a subset of lymphocytes called T lymphocytes or T cells. T cells mediate three principal functions help, suppression and cytotoxity. T-helper cells stimulate the immune response of other cells (i.e. T cells stimulate B cells to produce antibodies). T-suppressor cells play an inhibitory role and control the level and quality of the immune response. Cytotoxic T cells recognize and destroy infected cells and activate phagocytes to destroy pathogens they have taken up (Miller et al., 2003). These two components of specific immunity are closely related to each other and T cells interact with B cells in the production of antibodies against most antigens (WHO, 1993) specific antibodies and cell-mediated responses are induced for all infections, but the magnitude and quality of these two components vary in different infections. Specific immune responses that are independent of antibody are termed as cell mediated immunity. The cell mediated immunity functions directly by specific cytotoxic reactions by T-killer cells or indirectly by antigen stimulated lymphocytes which activate macrophages (Ellis, 1999). 73

3 Cellular immunity may also play an important role in combating mucosally infectious pathogen. These mucosally committed T cells may function either or prevent mucosal surface from injury by infectious pathogens or by exhibiting cellular cytotoxicity directed against intracellular pathogens (Musey et al., 1997 and Wong and Pamer, 2003). Cellular and humoral immune responses are regulated by cytokines promoting the induction of distinct Th1 or Th2 subtypes of T cells. The discovery of immunomodulators with the potential of promoting the selective induction of these distinct, populations of T cells could greatly improve immune responses thus adding value to immunotherapy (Dumont et al., 2002). Leucocytes are mostly involved in cellular defense in the fish which includes monocytes, granulocytes and non specific cytotoxic cells. The tissue macrophages play an important role in the immune responses of fish. These cells play an important role in production of cytokines, (Clem et al., 1985) and also the primary cells are involved in the phagocytosis and killing of pathogens on the first recognition and subsequent infections (Shoemaker et al., 1997). The macrophages begin the primary antigen presenting cells in telocysts and it links the non specific and acquired immune responses (Vallijo et al., 1992). The significant method employed to categorize cell mediated immune function was Delayed type hypersensitivity. The degree to which the measurements increased can be used as an indicator of cell mediated immune responsiveness (Mallard et al., 1998; Hernandez et al., 2003 and Hernandez et al., 2005). 74

4 Host defenses are mediated by antigen specific T cells and various non-specific cells of the immune system. It protects, against intracellular bacteria, viruses and more it is responsible for graft rejection. In the present study, T cell eryt hrocyte rosette assay and delayed type hypersensitivity reaction are used to evaluate cell mediated immune responses against bacterial pathogens. The antigen specific aim of cell mediated immune response consisting, T-Lymphocytes as like as B-cells, which produce soluble antibody that could bind to specific antigen. Hypersensitivity and mixed lymphocyte migration are categorized in accordance with the effectors involved in these reactions Methodology T Cell erythrocyte-rosette assay Blood samples were collected from test antigen treated and control fishes in heparin pretreated vials. T-cell counts in the blood samples were carried out after isolation of lymphocyte from blood plasma. From the plasma lymphocytes were separated using ficol and centrifuged the lymphocyte layer alone. Lymphocytes were resuspended and loaded into activated nylon wool column. Then the column was held vertically above an eppendorf tube and now hot saline (about 60 C) was slowly dripped into the column. The hot saline passing through the column was collected in the eppendorf tube, contains T lymphocytes: 0.2ml of saline containing T Lymphocytes (from the eppendorf tube containing T cell) was taken in a separate eppendorf tube and 0.2 ml of 1% SRBC was added and then the mixture was centrifuged for 12 minutes at 1600 rpm. After centrifugation these samples were incubated in an ice box or in 75

5 refrigerator at 4 C for 5 minutes. After cold incubation, the pellet in the eppendorf tube was resuspended by gentle flushing with Pasteur pipette. Then a drop of it was taken in a clean dry slide. Observed under the microscope (20x / 40x) and enumerated T cells for rosettes. Number of rosettes formed in hemocytometer was observed per hundred lymphocytes observed and tabulated Delayed type hypersensitivity Delayed type hypersensitivity was studied in dissolving following method of Tamang et al., (1988). The experimental fishes (control and 7 days antigen exposed fishes) were sensitized by a single subcutaneous application of 0.5 ml DNCB (10 mg/ml). A positive response is conventionally assessed as one giving in durations. Response can be graded as 3 4 mm = +; 5 8 mm = ++; 9 11 = +++; 12 mm or more = Fishes were sensitized by subcutaneous injection in the intranasal region with 0.5 ml of Freunds adjuvant containing 500 mg of antigen and boosted at 6 th and 8 th day by an intradermal injection to sterile phosphate buffer with a vernier caliper prior to challenge, i.e. 0 th, 2 nd, 4 th, 6 th and 12 th hour post challenge, each with three readings. The increase in mean skin thickness (MST) of fishes was obtained after deducting the skin thickness of the same oil before challenge. Overall MST was obtained by taking the mean of individual fishes with a group Lymphocyte migration inhibition test Blood is collected from antigen treated and control fishes using a heparin pretreated vials ml of the blood was collected and it was introduced into sterile 76

6 conical flask / beaker containing (4 5) sterile glass beads. It was then continuously swirled until no sounds heard from the vessel. This indicates that all fibrins have adhered to the beads. This blood was considered as defibrinated blood and diluted with equal volume of physiological saline. 3 ml of the lymphoprep solution was taken in a centrifuge tube using Pasteur pipette. Care was taken so that FICON layer of the lymphoprep solution present in the centrifuge tube was then centrifuged at 1600 rpm for 20 min. The interphase (containing lymphocytes) was removed using pipette. The cells were washed with 1 ml saline and excess FICON was removed. The cells after washing 3 times in Hangs balanced salt (HBSS) containing Heparin (5 ml) are suspended in Eagles minimum essential medium with 10% bovine serum. The viability of the cells was checked by tryphanblue dye exclusion method and the concentrations have to be adjusted to 1 x 10 7 cells / ml. The cells are packed in capillary tubes and fixed in Petridish to which added Eagles medium containing specific antigen then incubated overnight for migration Results and Discussion T cell production of control and treated animals were estimated by rosette forming assay and recorded in Table The result showed significant changes in Catla catla fishes, when compared to control of five kinds of antigen treatment, the increment in T lymphocyte number was much pronounced in Catla catla treated with heat killed antigen with antiserum. T cell is a vital component in cell mediated immune response, and it gets suppressed due to exposure of antigens (whole cell antigens). Immune response enhances 77

7 the production of T cells due to pathogen tested (immune complexes and nucleotide antigens). It is found to be suppressive to T cell production so induction in cell mediate immunity has confirmed pathogenic potential of A. hydrophila. Dhasarathan et al., (2006) and Muller et al., (1997) had reported that the immunosuppressive drug inhibits cell proliferation and T-cell cytotoxicity. It also induces apoptosis in activated as well as testing cells. T cell population which has reduced T cell counts, the inhibition of T cell activation, proliferation, immunity exclusion and cooperation with other cells had affected the overall immunity in fishes. So the immune complex of pathogens induces the T-cell counts compared to other treated and control fishes. The increment of T-cell activation, and proliferation modulate the overall immunity in the fishes. The delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin and DNCB antigen were tested in control and pathogen exposed fishes. The impact of pathogens on DTH response in fishes is recorded in Table 4.2. A comparative analysis of DTH response in fishes (in control and antigen exposed) revealed some interesting changes found due to pathogenesity in two antigens, whole and heat killed antigens show the high DTH responses compared to control. The size of skin edema also declined in whole cell and heat killed antigen exposed fishes. The reduced development of skin reaction in fishes after the exposure to two antigens suggests possible impairment in the immune capacity of the fishes. Seth et al., (2002) reported that the stress has been associated with a detrimental effect on immunity. This is recognized that the immune cells produce peptide hormones which interact through 78

8 shared ligand receptors and such peptides are capable of modulating various activities. Fishes exposed to immune complexes and DNA, DTH response was higher and size of the skin edema also increased when compared to control and other treated animals. The induced development of skin reactions suggest immune enhancement of fishes after exposure of immune complex and DNA antigens in the present study. T-cell counts also play a vital role in pathogenecity as T helper cells(t h cells) were one of the key factors that determine given antigens induces hypersensitivity reactions (Dhasarathan et al., 2011). Further, T helper cells (T h-2) produce interleukin (IL-4) that in turn generate and maintain Ig E an important immunoglobulin produced during hypersensitive reactions. During DTH response, circulating T lymphocytes come in contact with antigen (mainly held by skin macrophages) and pre-sensitized cells present are stimulated to lymphokine production, and blast cell transformation. The lymphokines encourage the trapping of circulating mononuclear cells at the site of antigen and activation of non-sensitized bystander cells into the reaction. A cascade effect is produced with necessary localization of mononuclear cells, which are clinically manifested as induction. These pathogen exposures have altered all these mechanism and induced DTH response in fishes. 79

Whole cell bacterial antigen with antiserum Nucleotide antigen Lymphocytes are blood cells involved in immune response. The study of the migration of lymphocyte sheds light on the defense machinery inside the immune system. Pathogens inhibit defense machinery of the immune system. Migration of lymphocytes affects by cellular functioning, cell energetics and other cellular functions of immune cell which are involved in cellular immune responses and inhibition of lymphocyte migration. This could reduce the immunity and the animal may develop risk for defense mechanism. In the present study, significant changes were observed in heat killed antiserum of fishes than in normal fish. Among the different antigens exposed in fish, when compared with other antigens, the lymphocyte migration in fishes exposed to nucleotide antigen shows fastest migration. Lymphocyte migration was also significant in heat killed antiserum. Hence, the heat killed antiserum and nucleotide antiserum exposed fishes causes tolerance in immunity and provide defense against microbial infections and alterations. This study reflects the possible changes in animal system on exposure to vaccine molecules Table 4.3. and Plate

12 If the symptoms for hypersensitive reactions are expressed after days of antigenic challenge, it is called delayed type hypersensitivity some subpopulations of activated TH cells when encounter some types of antigen, they secrete cytokines that induce a localized inflammatory reaction. The presence of delayed type hypersensitivity reaction can be measured experimentally by injecting antigen intradermally into an animal and observing whether a characteristic skin lesion develops at the injection site. A positive skin test reaction indicates that the individual has a population of sensitized T h-1 cells specific for the test antigen. On injection of antigen, delayed type hypersensitivity response is diagnosed based on the development of a red, slightly swollen, firm lesion at the site of injection between 48 and 72 hrs later. The skin lesions result from intense infiltration of cells to the site of injection during a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction; 80% - 90% of these cells are macrophages. The presence or absence of delayed type hypersensitivity response in fish after exposing it to bacterial antigen highlights the functioning of the T h-1 cells. Hence, delayed type hypersensitivity analysis can be taken as one of the parameters to assess immunity changes that occur in fish after antigen treatment. An immune response mobilizes a battery of effectors molecules that act to remove antigen by various mechanisms. Generally, these effector molecules induce a localized inflammatory response that eliminates antigen without extensively damaging the host s tissue (Dhasarathan et al., 2011). The inappropriate immune response is termed hypersensitivity or allergy. Hypersensitivity reactions may develop in the course of either humoral or cell mediated responses (Goldsby et al., 2003). 83

13 Cell mediated immunity plays a vital role in defence against the pathogens. The cell mediated immunity gets suppressed in Catla catla due to the exposure of whole cell bacterial antigen, whole cell bacterial antigen with antiserum, heat killed antigen, heat killed antigen with antiserum, nucleotide antigen. It is found to be suppressive to T cell production and induction in cell mediated immunity has confirmed the pathogenic potential of A. hydrophila. A comparative analysis of DTH responses exhibited by fish (in control and antigen administered) showed some interesting changes and these were found due to antigenicity of two types of antigens. The whole cell bacterial antigens and heat killed bacterial antigens show high DTH responses compared to control. Migration of lymphocytes affects cellular functioning, cell energetics and other cellular functions of immune cell which are involved in cellular immune responses and inhibition of lymphocyte migration could reduce the immunity and the Catla catla may develop risk for defense mechanism. 84
