Abstract

We examined the responses of PBMCs to house dust mite (HDM) allergen in atopic and healthy, non-atopic dogs to identify differences in lymphocyte reactivity that might reflect the immunologic status of atopic dermatitis. Thirteen of 20 (65%) atopic dogs showed a positive lymphocyte proliferative response to HDM allergen. The rate of response was significantly higher in the atopic dogs than that in healthy, non-atopic dogs insensitive to the allergen (P = 0.007). The proliferative responses were positively correlated with the level of HDM-specific IgE in serum (P = 0.035), and were thereby confirmed to reflect the activity of lymphocytes competent to promote IgE production. These results suggest that HDM-specific lymphocytes were present in peripheral blood and played a role in the pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis.

혈중 항원 특이적 IgE 검사와 피내시험으로 집먼지 진드기 (house dust mites, HDM)에 양성 반응을 보인 20두의 아토피성 피부염으로 진단된 개를 대상으로, 말초혈단핵구 (peripheral blood mononuclear cells, PBMC)를 채취하여 HDM항원에 대한 반응을 검토하였다. PBMC를 분리하여 HDM항원으로 자극한 결과 20두 중 13두 (65%)에서 항원 특이적이 림프구의 증식반응을 확인할 수 있었다. HDM 항원에 증식반응은 아토피성 피부염군에서 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 반응이 확인되었다 (P=0.007). 또한, HDM에 대한 반응은 혈중의 IgE 농도와 유의적으로 상관관계를 나타내었으며 (P=0.035), 이는 체내에서 항원 특이적인 IgE의 생산을 촉진하는 작용을 반영하는 지표가 될 수 있다고 생각되었다. 이러한 결과로, 말초혈액중에 존재하는 HDM 항원 특이적인 림프구는 개의 아토피성 피부염의 병태생리에 관여하고 있는 것으로 시사되었다.
