Antibody-forming cells and serum hemolysin responses of pastel and sapphire mink inoculated with Aleutian disease virus.

The effect of Aleutian disease virus (ADV) on serum hemolysin titers and antibody-forming cells in lymph nodes and spleens of sapphire and pastel mink inoculated with goat erythrocytes (G-RBC) was investigated. ADV injected 1 day after primary antigenic stimulation with G-RBC did not depress the immune responses of either color phase for a period of 26 days. However, when G-RBC were injected 47 days after ADV, both the number of antibody-forming cells and hemolysin titers were more markedly depressed in sapphire than in pastel mink. The results are discussed in relation to the greater susceptibility of sapphire mink and the variable susceptibility of pastel mink to the Pullman isolate of ADV.

Isolation from mouse spleen of cell populations with high specific infectivity for scrapie virus.

Spleen cells from mice infected with scrapie virus were separated into subpopulations on the basis of buoyant density in discontinuous gradients of isotonic albumin or differential adherence of cells to plastic. At three different intervals after infection, a population of "less dense" cells was found in albumin gradients that had 40-to 60-fold higher specific infectivity (cells per median lethal dose) than the total cell suspension before gradient sedimentation. The class of cells associated with high relative specific infectivity has a density characteristic of lymphoblasts, myeloblasts, and macrophages. Separation of "macrophage rich" cells on the basis of adherence to plastic did not result in significant enrichment of scrapie virus-infected cells.

Cellular and humoral antibody responses of normal pastel and sapphire mink to goat erythrocytes.

This study was undertaken to determine whether normal sapphire and royal pastel mink differ immunologically at the cellular and humoral levels. Two days after primary intraperitoneal (ip) inoculation of goat erythrocytes (GE), essentially no 19 or 7S plaque-forming cells (PFC) per 10(6) cells were detected in spleen or in abdominal and peripheral lymph nodes of either color phase. On the 4th day, more 19S PFC were detected in pastel than in sapphire tissues; pastel tissues also contained 7S PFC, whereas essentially none was present in sapphires until the 6th day. After an ip booster inoculation, the number of PFC was markedly different between the two color phases. These differences were most apparent in spleen and peripheral lymph nodes. In parallel with differences observed in PFC responses between the color phases, total hemolysin and 2-mercaptoethanol-resistant hemolysin titers of pastels exceeded those of sapphires in all but one interval after the primary, and at every interval after the booster, inoculation. These data indicate that sapphire mink are not immunological cripples, nor are they immunologically hyperactive, but that differences do exist between sapphire and royal pastel mink, especially in the response to booster injections of GE.
