The surface phenotype of swine blood and tissue eosinophil granulocytes.

Cell surface antigens of swine eosinophil granulocytes were studied with flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. The monoclonal antibody 335-2, specific for swine differentiation antigen swC1a, originally described to be present on swine T and myeloid cells, is able to distinguish swine eosinophils (swC1a negative) from neutrophils (swC1a positive). This monoclonal antibody (mAb) was used in two-colour fluorescence measurements in combination with anti-swine -CD2, -CD4, -CD8, -MHC class II, -LFA-1 or -swC3 mAbs. All of the blood eosinophils proved to be positive for LFA-1 and swC3, a common marker of swine monocytes, granulocytes and macrophages. However, they do not react with antibodies recognizing swine CD2, CD4, CD8 or MHC class II cell surface molecules. The reactivity pattern of tissue eosinophils with these mAbs was determined on cryostat sections of different tissues of swine. Tissue eosinophils were negative for swC1a, CD2, CD8, while all of them reacted with swC3. In contrast with blood eosinophils, 10-30% of tissue eosinophils were demonstrated to be negative for LFA-1. In some cases, a few tissue eosinophils were found to be stained weakly by antibodies to swine CD4 or MHC class II antigens.[1]
