Abstract
Different MHC haplotype of Kazakh sheep has different resistance and susceptibility of hydatidosis. Notably, the MvaIbc-SacIIab-Hin1Iab haplotype of MHC-DRB1 exon two was associated with resistance hydatidosis. In order to analyze the antibody and cytokine responses to hydatidosis in Kazakh sheep with hydatidosis resistance haplotype, eight Kazakh sheep with the haplotype of MvaIbc-SacIIab-Hin1Iab were chosen as the test group, and other eight, which were not associated with hydatidosis resistance or susceptibility, were taken as control. After experimentally infected with hydatid orally, the blood was collected on 0, 7, 14, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 days. Serum and mRNA level of the cytokines IL-2, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10 were evaluated by ELISA and fluorescence quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The total white blood cells and leukomonocytes were determined by automation cytoanalyze. The level of IgE, IgG, and IgM were evaluated by ELISA. The results showed that the total white blood cells and leukomonocytes in test group were significantly higher than in control on 7, 45, 90, and 105 days post-infection (p.i.). The serum level of IL-2 in test group was significantly higher than in control on 45 days p.i., while the difference of IL-2 mRNA expression between test and control group was not significant. The serum level of TNF-α in test group was significantly higher than in control at 90 and 105 days p.i., and the TNF-α mRNA in test group was also significantly higher than in control on 90 days p.i. The level of IgE, IgG, and IgM in test group was higher than in control, but none was significant. The results suggested that the test group, which was predominant of Th1, could induce the protective immunity, while the control, which was predominant of Th2, could induce the susceptibility to infection of hydatidosis.
