Article Snippet: For the individual (ID) testing, serum samples were screened for the presence of HTLV-1/2 antibodies, first with the automated EC-approved assays HTLV-I/HTLV-II Ab-Capture ELISA Test System (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ; Triturus ELISA processor, Grifols Diagnostic, Barcelona, Spain), in place from February 2008 to May 2009, and then with the Abbott Prism HTLV-I/ HTLV-II chemiluminescent immunoassay (ChLIA, Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division, Wiesbaden, Germany), in place from June 2009 to December 2010.

Article Title: Frequency and phenotype of natural killer cells and natural killer cell subsets in bovine lymphoid compartments and blood

doi: 10.1111/imm.12708

Figure Lengend Snippet: CD2 − natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant subset of NK cells present within skin‐draining afferent lymph (AL). Lymphocytes derived from peripheral blood (PB), AL and the lymph nodes (LNs) of seven calves were labelled with monoclonal antibodies to NKp46, CD3 and CD2 and analysed by flow cytometry. FACS plots from one representative animal illustrate the expression of NKp46 and CD3 by PB‐, AL‐ and LN‐derived lymphocytes (a). FACS plots from one representative animal illustrate the expression of NKp46 and CD2 by PB‐, AL‐ and LN‐derived lymphocytes (b). Gates were set based on Fluorescence Minus One controls. Pooled data from seven calves indicate the average percentage of NKp46 + CD3 − NK cells ± SD present in PB (circles), AL (squares) and LNs (triangles) (c). Pooled data from seven calves illustrate the average percentage of CD2 + (lighter bars) and CD2 − (darker bars) NK cells ± SD within the total gated NKp46 + NK cell population from PB, AL or the LNs (d). Data were normally distributed ( P > 0·05). Significance between PB and AL was assessed using a paired t ‐test and significance between PB and LN was assessed using a two‐sample t ‐test. P < 0·001***. [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com ]

Article Title: Frequency and phenotype of natural killer cells and natural killer cell subsets in bovine lymphoid compartments and blood

doi: 10.1111/imm.12708

Figure Lengend Snippet: Natural killer (NK) cells are present in bovine efferent lymph and CD2 − NK cells are the principal subset present. Lymphocytes derived from peripheral blood (PB), afferent lymph (AL), lymph nodes (LNs) and efferent lymph (EL) were labelled with monoclonal antibodies for NKp46, CD3 and CD2 and analysed by flow cytometry. Pooled data from seven calves for PB, AL and LNs and five calves for EL, show the average percentage of NKp46 + CD3 − NK cells ± SD present within PB (circles), AL (squares), LNs (triangles) and EL (diamonds) (a). Pooled data from seven (PB, AL and LNs) and five (EL) calves illustrate the average percentage of NKp46 + CD2 + (lighter bars) and NKp46 + CD2 − (darker bars) NK cells ± SD within the total gated NKp46 + NK cell population from PB, AL, LNs and five calves for EL (b). Data were normally distributed ( P > 0·05) and significance between PB and EL was assessed using a two‐sample t ‐test. P < 0·01**, P < 0·001***.
