The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) infection on DC properties. Cytokine profiles of myeloid, plasmacytoid and mono- cyte derived DCs from BLV infected cattle were analysed. Concentrations of IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in DC cultures were measured by flow cytometry. Obtained results indicated activation of pDCs population, where a significant increase in production of the IFN-γ was shown. Meanwhile, a decrease in production of IFN-γ and increase in production of IL-10 were shown in mDCs; the main population responsible for antigens presentation. This may indicate a contribu- tory role of the population during the process of persistent infection. In MoDCs population a significant elevation in secretion of proinflammatory cytokines – IL-6 and TNF-α was noted.}, type={Article}, title={Determination of cytokine profiles in populations of dendritic cells from cattle infected with bovine leukaemia virus}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/108460/PDF/04.pdf}, doi={10.24425/124306}, keywords={bovine leukaemia virus, dendritic cells, cytokines}, }
