The reviews do not attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of equine research, but are focused on some of the most important contemporary equine research topics and are complimentary to other recent EVJ reviews, such as those on laminitis [1] and musculoskeletal adaptations to exercise [2], both of which are of particular interest to the GJCRF. The authors of this editorial served as editors for the series in our capacity as members and former members of the GJCRF Research Advisory Committee. The GJCRF is one of the leading sources of funding of equine research in the world, alongside other organisations, such as the Horserace Betting Levy Board in the UK and the Morris Animal Foundation in the USA. All these organisations use peer review as a critical component of their competitive grants programmes. The GJCRF was established 25 years ago (although the parent foundations enjoy longer histories; for details see http:// www.grayson-jockeyclub.org). The mission of the GJCRF is to fund research that can help horses, and promote their welfare and safety. The annual competitive funding process was reorganised in 1999 by Drs Larry Bramlage and Gary Lavin, and remains a strong model of excellence among veterinary funding foundations. Funding recommendations are made by a Research Advisory Committee that includes scientists and equine practitioners from academia and industry, which positions the group to assess not only the scientific merit of proposals, but also the likelihood of meaningful impact on the problem studied and on the horse itself. Another key feature of the process is that beyond scoring the proposals for science and impact, the committee ranks the proposals in a ‘head-to-head’ competition. This single feature, while simple in concept, has proved to be a powerful tool for identifying the strongest proposals to fund. The GJCRF has provided well over $20,000,000 in research grant funding to date, and also provides Storm Cat Career Development Awards annually to several young equine scientists. Notably, while the GJCRF is a North American organisation, it not infrequently funds proposals from universities in other countries. The outcome of grant awards is carefully tracked by the GJCRF, and peer-reviewed manuscript publication is an expectation of all awardees. The GJCRF will fund any research project that promotes its mission, but an analysis of the past 15 years of funding (since the reorganisation of the competitive review process in 1999) demonstrates some striking trends. Slightly over a third of all awards were given for studies of musculoskeletal disease, including laminitis, and a similar number for infectious disease studies. When laminitis is considered alone, it is the single disease entity that has received the highest research funding from the GJCRF. It is interesting to compare these GJCRF research-funding patterns with what equine veterinarians consider to be the most pressing areas in need of research focus. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) conducted an online survey of its members in 2009 to determine equine research needs. Over 570 members responded, 88% of whom practised in the USA. The most important research categories were laminitis, colic, musculoskeletal diseases and racing injury, and infectious disease, followed by noninfectious respiratory disease and diseases of the foal. Perhaps the biggest difference between the priorities of the AAEP practitioners and the GJCRF funding history is in the field of colic research, as a relatively small number of grants have been awarded in this area. We speculate that the reasons lie in the difficulty in studying colic using ethically acceptable equine models, while studies of naturally occurring colic are extremely challenging due to the high variability in the types and causes of this condition. Nevertheless, when we consider the other research targets it is reassuring to see the close parallels between the priorities of this group of equine clinicians and the funding history of the GJCRF during the past decade and a half. Recently. the GJCRF Research Advisory Committee conducted its own review of the most critical needs in equine research. Among the highest priorities were musculoskeletal disease (including laminitis), racing safety and infectious/contagious disease. Interestingly, only two of these priorities represent conventional scientific topics, while ‘racing safety’ captures the pressing need for scientific studies that improve the safety and well-being of horses in competition. In recent times, horse enthusiasts and the general public have been challenged by misfortunes that have befallen both the horse and some parts of the equine industry. Competitive fatalities and injuries, the ‘unwanted horse’ and outbreaks of infectious disease have all caused us to consider whether there is more that we can do for the horse. In many instances, these challenges need to be addressed by answering scientific questions and applying new knowledge. However, research cannot address all these problems. In some cases, scientists have already provided the needed answers, and the problem is our reluctance to implement the solutions. In other cases, the challenges are economic, societal or bound up in tradition and beyond the reach of scientific method. The good news is that research can provide answers to many of these questions if researchers receive support from organisations such as GJCRF. In determining the focus for this series of six reviews from many deserving priorities, we selected topics that included fast-evolving contemporary research, such as regenerative medicine and genetics, or areas that were overdue for authoritative review, such as stallion fertility and the development of equine immunity, and finally, areas that are always contemporary and a constant challenge for equine clinicians, such as biosecurity and infection control, and pain control. The goals were to provide readers with the best contemporary understanding of the fields and to establish the critical knowledge gaps that research must close in the future. We are grateful to the authors for their excellent efforts in achieving these goals. As members of the equine research community, we are also very grateful to the research foundations and donors that make our work possible and, in the case of the GJCRF, we are particularly grateful for the vision, commitment and fund-raising prowess of the Chair of the Board of Directors, Ms Dell Hancock of Claiborne Farm (Paris, Kentucky, USA) and for bs_bs_banner}, number={4}, journal={EQUINE VETERINARY JOURNAL}, author={Lunn, D.

The salient observations are as follows: (i) EHV-1 significantly down-modulated MHC-I and MHC-II expression in equine respiratory epithelial cells (ERECs). MHC-I expression remained unaffected in PBMCs and MHC-II expression was increased. (ii) Infection with an EHV-1 ORF1 deletion mutant partially restored MHC-I and MHC-II expression and altered IFN-alpha and IL-10 mRNA expression. (iii) Deletion of EHV-1 ORF1 also significantly increased chemokine expression and chemotaxis of monocytes and neutrophils in ERECs.

Protection following infection or vaccination is typically incomplete and this lack of protective immunity is thought to be due to the immunomodulatory properties of EHV-1. EHV-1 immune modulation is likely initiated early in the infection cycle at the respiratory epithelium, but to date, immunity to EHV-1 at the epithelial cell barrier remains poorly characterized. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use a recently established primary equine respiratory epithelial cell culture (EREC) system to characterize innate immunity to EHV-1. Differentiated ERECs were inoculated with a neuropathogenic strain of EHV-1 and cytokine responses were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and ELISA. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I and MHC-II as well as toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and TLR9 protein expression were examined using fluorescence activated cell-sorting analysis and chemotaxis of neutrophils and monocytes were evaluated using chemotaxis assays. Infection with EHV-1 resulted in increased expression of TLR3 and 9 as well as inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, TNF-alpha, IFN-alpha, and IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8, MCP-1). In contrast, EHV-1 infection caused marked decreases of MHC-I and MHC-II expression as well as a reduction in IFN-gamma production. In summary, these results provide an initial characterization of the early immune response to EHV-1 at the epithelial cell barrier and show that, while EHV-1 maintains induction of an inflammatory response, it causes an attenuation of IFN-gamma responses and down-modulates expression of MHC-I and MHC-II, which are important molecules for antigen presentation.}, number={1-2}, journal={VETERINARY MICROBIOLOGY}, author={Hussey, Gisela Soboll and Ashton, Laura V. and Quintana, Ayshea M. and Lunn, David P. and Goehring, Lutz S. and Annis, Kristina and Landolt, Gabriele}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={28–38} } @article{broccardo_hussey_goehring_lunn_prenni_2014, title={Proteomic Characterization of Equine Cerebrospinal Fluid}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1542-7412"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jevs.2013.07.013}, abstractNote={Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a biofluid that is reflective of overall health.

A workshop on Infectious Diseases of Working Equids was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in November 2013, attended by 35 participants representing academia, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), governmental institutions and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The aim of the workshop was to identify ways to reduce the burden of infectious diseases in working equids worldwide. The specific workshop goals were as follows: 1) to identify the global working equid population and define its role in low-income countries with respect to food security, poverty alleviation and gender equity; 2) to collate the current knowledge of infectious diseases in working equids and identify key priority pathogens responsible for high morbidity and mortality; 3) to identify current diagnostic, surveillance, treatment and prevention strategies for infectious diseases in working equids and identify gaps and strategies needed for future control programmes; 4) to identify current and future roles and responsibilities of various institutions and stakeholders in infectious disease control of working equids and ways to engage them in effective disease reduction; and 5) to identify key focus areas with the greatest opportunities for impact on the occurrence of infectious diseases affecting working equids and form consensus opinions on the future goals and strategies to reduce the impact of infectious diseases on working equids. Workshop presentations focused on the role of working equids and their impact on livelihoods, priority infectious diseases, surveillance and disease control strategies, regulatory policies, the role of institutions in disease control, research gaps and funding opportunities.

Common causes include equine influenza virus (EIV) and equine herpesviruses-1 and -4 (EHV-1 and -4), and risk of exposure to these agents may be highest in young horses commingling at sales and competitive events. A surveillance study was conducted at two horse shows and two Thoroughbred sales to determine whether horses shed EHV-1, EHV-4, or EIV on arrival, or 2-4 days later, and whether shedding was associated with identifiable risk factors. Real-time polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect EHV-1, EHV-4, and EIV nucleic acid in nasal swabs obtained from 369 horses at the four events. In response to evidence of clinical disease, 82 additional horses were sampled at two farms providing horses for one of the sales. On arrival at the events, shedding of EHV-1 was detected in 3.3%, EHV-4 in 1.1%, and EIV in 0.8% of horses. EHV-1 was detected at low levels, and EHV-1 and EHV-4 detection was not associated with clinical disease. EIV was detected only in horses at a Thoroughbred sale, in association with an outbreak of respiratory disease traced back to regional farms. On arrival at events, horses younger than 2 years had a significantly greater risk of shedding EHV-1 compared with older horses; no other significant risk factors associated with viral shedding were identified.

EHV-1 infection of the ocular vasculature may offer an alternative model as EHV-1-induced chorioretinopathy appears to occur in a significant number of horses, and the pathogenesis of EHM and ocular EHV-1 may be similar. To investigate the potential of ocular EHV-1 as a model for EHM, and to determine the frequency of ocular EHV-1, our goal was to study: (1) Dissemination of virus following acute infection, (2) Development and frequency of ocular lesions following infection, and (3) Utility of a GFP-expressing virus for localization of the virus in vivo. Viral antigen could be detected following acute infection in ocular tissues and the central nervous system (experiment 1). Furthermore, EHV-1 infection resulted in multifocal choroidal lesions in 90% (experiment 2) and 50% (experiment 3) of experimentally infected horses, however ocular lesions did not appear in vivo until between 3 weeks and 3 months post-infection. Taken together, the timing of the appearance of lesions and their ophthalmoscopic features suggest that their pathogenesis may involve ischemic injury to the chorioretina following viremic delivery of virus to the eye, mirroring the vascular events that result in EHM.

Infection experiments were performed in two groups of 7 pregnant pony mares at 270–290 days of gestation with a contemporary EHV-1 strain (University of Findlay 2003 isolate – OH03) or an EHV-1 strain isolated over 30 years ago, and previously described in abortion models (Ab4). All mares in both groups exhibited nasal viral shedding and viremia. Infection with OH03 resulted in 1/7 abortion and infection with Ab4 resulted in 5/7 abortions. In the OH03 challenge, placentas of foals delivered at term showed little detectable virus, while the aborted fetus expressed high levels of virus infection in the spleen and liver, lower levels in the lung and thymus, and lowest levels in the chorioallantois. After Ab4 challenge, high viral loads were detected in fetal and placental tissues in abortions. In the two normal deliveries, the chorioallantois contained virus levels comparable with the chorioallantois of aborted foals and both foals shed EHV-1 starting on day 4 of life, but were clinically healthy. Our results demonstrate the continued importance of strain selection for abortion models, and this study is the first report of viral load quantification using contemporary methods.

Despite increasing outbreaks of EHM in recent years, our understanding of EHM pathogenesis is still limited except for the knowledge that a cell-associated viremia in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is a critical link between primary respiratory EHV-1 infection and secondary complications such as late-term abortion or EHM. To address this question our objective was to identify which PBMC subpopulation(s) are infected during viremia and may therefore play a role in transmitting the virus to the vascular endothelium of the spinal cord or pregnant uterus. PBMCs from 3 groups of animals were collected between days 4 and 9 following experimental infection with EHV-1 strain Findlay/OH03 or strain Ab4. PBMCs were labeled with primary antibodies selective for CD4+ or CD8+ T lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, or monocytes and positively selected using magnetic bead separation. Cell numbers and EHV-1 genome numbers in each subpopulation were then determined using quantitative PCR for β-actin and the EHV-1 glycoprotein B, respectively. Viral genomic DNA was found in all PBMC subpopulations; the CD8+ lymphocytes were most frequently positive for viral DNA, followed by B-lymphocytes. These differences were statistically significant in horses infected with the EHV-1 strain Findlay/OH03, and ponies with Ab4. These results differ from what has been reported in in vitro studies, and indicate that different PBMC subpopulations may play different roles in EHV-1 viremia.}, number={1-2}, journal={Veterinary Microbiology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Wilsterman, S. and Soboll-Hussey, G. and Lunn, D.P. and Ashton, L.V. and Callan, R.J. and Hussey, S.B. and Rao, S. and Goehring, L.S.}, year={2011}, month={Apr}, pages={40–47} } @article{soboll hussey_hussey_wagner_horohov_van de walle_osterrieder_goehring_rao_lunn_2011, title={Evaluation of immune responses following infection of ponies with an EHV-1 ORF1/2 deletion mutant}, volume={42}, ISSN={1297-9716}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1297-9716-42-23}, DOI={10.1186/1297-9716-42-23}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Research}, publisher={Springer Nature}, author={Soboll Hussey, Gisela and Hussey, Stephen B and Wagner, Bettina and Horohov, David W and Van de Walle, Gerlinde R and Osterrieder, Nikolaus and Goehring, Lutz S and Rao, Sangeeta and Lunn, David P}, year={2011}, pages={23} } @article{goehring_hussey_ashton_schenkel_lunn_2011, title={Infection of central nervous system endothelial cells by cell-associated EHV-1}, volume={148}, ISSN={0378-1135}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2010.08.030}, DOI={10.1016/j.vetmic.2010.08.030}, abstractNote={Infection with equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) causes respiratory disease, late-term abortions and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalitis (EHM). Our understanding of EHM pathogenesis is limited except for the knowledge that EHV-1 infected, circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) transport virus to the central nervous system vasculature causing endothelial cell infection leading to development of EHM. Our objective was to develop a model of CNS endothelial cell infection using EHV-1 infected, autologous PBMC. PBMCs, carotid artery and brain endothelial cells (EC) from 14 horses were harvested and grown to confluency. PBMC or ConA-stimulated PBMCs (ConA-PBMCs) were infected with EHV-1, and sedimented directly onto EC monolayers (‘contact’), or placed in inserts on a porous membrane above the EC monolayer (‘no contact’). Cells were cultured in medium with or without EHV-1 virus neutralizing antibody. Viral infection of ECs was detected by cytopathic effect. Both brain and carotid artery ECs became infected when cultured with EHV-1 infected PBMCs or ConA-PBMCs, either in direct contact or no contact: infection was higher in carotid artery than in brain ECs, and when using ConA-PBMCs compared to PBMCs. Virus neutralizing antibody eliminated infection of ECs in the no contact model only. This was consistent with cell-to-cell spread of EHV-1 infection from leucocytes to ECs, demonstrating the importance of this mode of infection in the presence of antibody, and the utility of this model for study of cellular interactions in EHV-1 infection of ECs.}, number={2-4}, journal={Veterinary Microbiology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Goehring, L.S. and Hussey, G.S. and Ashton, L.V. and Schenkel, A.R. and Lunn, D.P.}, year={2011}, month={Mar}, pages={389–395} } @inbook{goehring_lunn_2011, place={Chichester, UK}, edition={2nd}, title={Viral respiratory diseases of the older foal}, booktitle={Equine Reproduction}, publisher={Wiley-Blackwell}, author={Goehring, L. and Lunn, D.P.}, editor={McKinnon, A and Squires, EL and Vaala, W and Voss, JEditors}, year={2011}, pages={720–727} } @article{chambers_holland_tudor_townsend_cook_bogdan_lunn_hussey_whitaker dowling_youngner_et al._2010, title={A new modified live equine influenza virus vaccine: phenotypic stability, restricted spread and efficacy against heterologous virus challenge}, volume={33}, ISSN={0425-1644 2042-3306}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2746/042516401776249291}, DOI={10.2746/042516401776249291}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={7}, journal={Equine Veterinary Journal}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Chambers, T.

OBJECTIVES To describe the viral kinetics of reactivated EHV-1 in blood and nasal secretions from latently infected horses after administration of corticosteroids, and to study the infectious nature of reactivated EHV-1 to sentinel horses. ANIMALS Eight healthy horses. METHODS Four horses infected 4 months previously with EHV-1 received dexamethasone on 5 consecutive days. Four seronegative horses served as sentinels and had direct contact with the latently infected horses. All horses were monitored daily for development of clinical signs. Whole blood and nasal secretions were collected daily for molecular detection and cell culture of EHV-1. Serum was collected weekly for the detection of antibodies against EHV-1. RESULTS All horses in the latently infected group showed transient molecular detection of EHV-1 in blood and nasal secretions, but only 1 horse developed fever. Three latently infected horses developed an increase in antibody concentrations against EHV-l. Viral cultures remained negative for all latently infected horses after corticosteroid administration. None of the sentinel horses developed clinical signs, viremia, viral shedding, or seroconversion. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE EHV-1 was successfully reactivated after corticosteroid administration in latently infected horses. However, transmission of reactivated virus to sentinel horses was unsuccessful. Failure to effectively transmit EHV-1 to susceptible horses may have resulted from the low level and short period of viral shedding in latently infected horses.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Pusterla, N. and Hussey, S.B. and Mapes, S. and Johnson, C. and Collier, J.R. and Hill, J. and Lunn, D.P. and Wilson, W.D.}, year={2010}, month={Jun}, pages={1153–1157} } @article{soboll_hussey_minke_landolt_hunter_jagannatha_lunn_2010, title={Onset and duration of immunity to equine influenza virus resulting from canarypox-vectored (ALVAC®) vaccination}, volume={135}, ISSN={0165-2427}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2009.11.007}, DOI={10.1016/j.vetimm.2009.11.007}, abstractNote={Equine influenza virus remains an important problem in horses despite extensive use of vaccination. Efficacy of equine influenza vaccination depends on the onset and duration of protective immunity, and appropriate strain specificity of the immune response. This study was designed to test the protective immunity resulting from vaccination with the North American commercial ALVAC equine influenza vaccine (RECOMBITEK Influenza, Merial, USA)(1) against challenge with American lineage influenza viruses. In experiment 1, 12 ponies were vaccinated twice, at a 35 day interval, using the ALVAC-influenza vaccine expressing the HA genes of influenza A/eq/Newmarket/2/93 and A/eq/Kentucky/94 (H3N8), and 11 ponies served as unvaccinated controls. Six months after the second vaccination, all ponies were challenged with A/eq/Kentucky/91. In experiment 2, 10 ponies received one dose of the ALVAC-influenza vaccine, 10 ponies served as unvaccinated controls, and all ponies were challenge infected with A/equine/Ohio/03, 14 days after vaccination. Parameters studied included serological responses, and clinical disease and nasal viral shedding following challenge infection. In experiment 1, following the two-dose regimen, vaccinated ponies generated high titered anti-influenza virus IgGa and IgGb antibody responses to vaccination and demonstrated statistically significant clinical and virological protection to challenge infection compared to controls. Infection with A/eq/Kentucky/91 produced unusually severe signs in ponies in the control group, requiring therapy with NSAID's and antibiotics, and leading to the euthanasia of one pony. In experiment 2 following the one-dose regimen, vaccinates generated IgGa responses pre-challenge, and anamnestic IgGa and IgGb responses after challenge. Vaccinates demonstrated statistically significant clinical and virological protection to challenge infection compared to controls.

Rabies serum neutralizing antibody titres and equine influenza virus specific antibody subclasses (immunoglobulin IgGa and IgGb) and single radial haemolysis titres were determined. Healthy aged horses mounted a primary immune response to rabies vaccine that was similar to that of younger adult horses. However, aged horses had a significantly reduced anamnestic response to influenza vaccination in comparison with the younger adult horses, even though the pre-vaccination antibody titres of aged horses were higher. Rabies antibody titres in both groups declined significantly by 6 months post-vaccination. Serum concentrations of selenium (Se) and vitamin E were measured to test for potential confounding effects.

Unfortunately, current vaccines are inefficient at inducing these responses. We have identified the immediate early (IE) gene of EHV-1 as a potent stimulator of virus-specific CTL responses in ponies expressing a specific MHC class I serological haplotype (A3/B2). This study was designed to determine if vaccination of A3/B2 MHC I positive ponies with the IE gene could induce protection and immune responses associated with cell mediated immunity. Ponies expressing the MHC-I A3/B2 haplotype (A3/B2 vaccinates) and ponies with a different MHC I haplotype (either non-A3 vaccinates or A3-non-B2 vaccinates) were vaccinated with a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (rMVA) vector expressing the IE gene on 3 occasions and vaccinates and unvaccinated controls were challenge infected 8 weeks after the last vaccination. Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA and antibody titers were determined throughout the study and clinical signs, nasal virus shedding and viremia were determined following challenge infection. Vaccination of A3/B2 vaccinates conferred significant clinical protection and a significant reduction in EHV-1 viremia. IFN-gamma mRNA increased significantly following vaccination in the A3/B2 vaccinates. Antibody titers remained low until after challenge infection, indicating that no accidental field acquired or recrudescent EHV-1 infection had occurred. In summary, this is an important study showing that vaccination of ponies with the EHV-1 IE protein provides not only reduction in clinical disease but also reduction of cell associated viremia, which is a prerequisite for the prevention of abortion and neurological disease.}, number={1-2}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Soboll, G. and Breathnach, C.C. and Kydd, J.H. and Hussey, S.B. and Mealey, R.M. and Lunn, D.P.}, year={2010}, month={May}, pages={108–117} } @article{pusterla_hussey_mapes_leutenegger_madigan_ferraro_wilson_lunn_2009, title={Comparison of Four Methods to Quantify Equid Herpesvirus 1 Load by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction in Nasal Secretions of Experimentally and Naturally Infected Horses}, volume={21}, ISSN={1040-6387 1943-4936}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/104063870902100611}, DOI={10.1177/104063870902100611}, abstractNote={ The objective of the current study was to compare the performance of 4 methods to quantify Equid herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in nasal secretions from experimentally and naturally infected horses. Nasal secretions were collected on the challenge day and daily thereafter for 13 days from 4 experimentally infected horses. Additional nasal swabs were collected from 30 horses with clinical signs consistent with natural EHV-1 infection. Absolute quantitation of EHV-1 target molecules was performed using standard curves for EHV-1 and equine glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and DNA yield, and was expressed as EHV-1 glycoprotein B (gB) gene copies per million nucleated nasal cells, EHV-1 gB gene copies per entire swab, EHV-1 gB gene copies per 1 μl of purified DNA, and EHV-1 gB gene copies per 1 ng of template DNA. The study results showed that all 4 calculation methods yielded comparable results between experimentally and naturally infected horses, and that the different methods were significantly correlated with each other. Reporting of quantitative results for EHV-1 viral load in nasal swabs collected from infected horses constitutes an important advance in both the research and diagnostic fields, allowing one to determine the infectious risk of affected horses, disease stage, or response to antiviral therapy. However, protocols that normalize the PCR results against a preselected volume of DNA or nasal secretions are likely to be more prone to variations than protocols that calculate the load for the entire swab, incorporate a housekeeping gene, or use a constant amount of extracted DNA. }, number={6}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Pusterla, Nicola and Hussey, Stephen B. and Mapes, Samantha and Leutenegger, Christian M. and Madigan, John E. and Ferraro, Gregory L. and Wilson, W.

The binding of IgE to its high-affinity IgE receptor on mast cell surfaces is called “sensitization” and precedes the development of clinical allergy. Previously, intradermal injection of anti-IgE or the anti-IgG(T) antibody CVS40 induced immediate skin reactions in horses. This suggested that both IgE and IgG(T) sensitize equine skin mast cells. Here, we investigated sensitization to allergen and with IgE or IgG(T) in clinically healthy horses of different age groups. In addition, immediate skin reactions to Culicoides were determined by intradermal testing in non-allergic horses. A total of 14% of the young horses 1–3 years old and 38% of the adult animals showed skin reaction to Culicoides allergen extract. Sensitization with IgE and IgG(T) was evaluated in skin mast cells and peripheral blood basophils to determine whether sensitization with IgG(T) preceded that with IgE in young horses. Anti-IgE stimulated immediate skin reactions in 18 of 21 young horses, but only 7 of them reacted to the anti-IgG(T) antibody CVS40. The equine IgG(T) fraction is composed of IgG3 and IgG5. We used several newly developed monoclonal antibodies to IgG3 and IgG5 for intradermal testing to improve our understanding about the mast cell reaction induced by the anti-IgG(T) antibody CVS40. None of these antibodies induced a skin reaction in young or adult horses. To determine sensitization with IgE in neonates and foals at 6 and 12 weeks of age an in vitro histamine release assay was performed using peripheral blood cells. The histamine concentration released by anti-IgE stimulation from foal basophils increased between birth and 12 weeks of age, while almost no histamine release was observed after anti-IgG(T) treatment of the cells. In summary, IgE was the major immunoglobulin involved in the sensitization of mast cells and basophils in horses at various ages. IgG(T) antibodies did not play a major role in the activation of mast cells or basophils in young horses and their role in the sensitization of adult horses remains unclear. Sensitization to Culicoides allergen in the absence of clinical disease was frequently found in horses of all age groups. Because many clinically healthy horses developed skin reactions to this allergen, sensitization results are useful to diagnose Culicoides-induced allergy only in horses with allergic conditions.}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Wagner, Bettina and Miller, William H., Jr. and Erb, Hollis N. and Lunn, D.

In horses, insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH), an allergic dermatitis caused by bites of midges, and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), a hyperreactivity to stable born dust and allergens, are the two most prevalent allergic diseases. Allergic diseases involve the interaction of three major factors: (i) genetic constitution, (ii) exposure to allergens, and (iii) a dysregulation of the immune response determined by (i) and (ii). However, other environmental factors such as infectious diseases, contact with endotoxin and degree of infestation with endoparasites have been shown to influence the prevalence of allergic diseases in humans. How these factors may impact upon allergic disease in the horse is unknown at this time. The 3rd workshop on Allergic Diseases of the Horse, with major sponsorship from the Havemeyer Foundation, was held in Hólar, Iceland, in June 2007 and focussed on immunological and genetic aspects of IBH and RAO. This particular venue was chosen because of the prevalence of IBH in exported Icelandic horses. The incidence of IBH is significantly different between Icelandic horses born in Europe or North America and those born in Iceland and exported as adults. Although the genetic factors and allergens are the same, exported adult horses show a greater incidence of IBH. This suggests that environmental or epigenetic factors may contribute to this response.

At each time point, the in vitro responses of PBMCs to stimulation with EHV-1 were measured, including IFN-gamma and IL-4 mRNA production, and lymphoproliferation. Group 1 ponies showed no signs of clinical disease or viral shedding after challenge infection. Group 2 ponies experienced a biphasic pyrexia, mucopurulent nasal discharge, and nasal shedding of virus after infection. Group 1 ponies had an immune response characterized both before and subsequent to challenge infection by an IFN-gamma response to EHV-1 in the absence of an IL-4 response, and demonstrated increased EHV-1-specific lymphoproliferation post-infection. Group 2 ponies had limited cytokine or lymphoproliferative responses to EHV-1 pre-challenge, and demonstrated increases in both IFN-gamma and IL-4 responses post-challenge, but without any lymphoproliferative response. Protective immunity to EHV-1 infection was therefore characterized by a polarized IFN-gamma dependent immunoregulatory cytokine response.}, number={1-2}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Coombs, Dane K. and Patton, T. and Kohler, Andrea K. and Soboll, G. and Breathnach, Cormac and Townsend, Hugh G.G. and Lunn, D.P.}, year={2006}, month={May}, pages={109–116} } @article{hussey_clark_lunn_breathnach_soboll_whalley_lunn_2006, title={Detection and Quantification of Equine Herpesvirus-1 Viremia and Nasal Shedding by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction}, volume={18}, ISSN={1040-6387 1943-4936}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/104063870601800403}, DOI={10.1177/104063870601800403}, abstractNote={ Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) infection is common in young horses throughout the world, resulting in respiratory disease, epidemic abortion, sporadic myelitis, or latent infections. To improve on conventional diagnostic tests for EHV-1, a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed, using primers and probes specific for the EHV-1 gB gene. Amplification efficiencies of 100% ± 5% were obtained for DNA isolated from a plasmid, infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and nasal secretions from infected ponies. The dynamic range of the assay was 8 log10 dilutions, and the lower limit of detection was 6 DNA copies. Fifteen ponies, seronegative for EHV-1, were experimentally infected with EHV-1, and nasal samples were used to quantify shedding of virus by both virus isolation and real-time PCR analysis. Virus isolation identified nasal shedding of EHV-1 in 12/15 ponies on a total of 25 days; real-time PCR detected viral shedding in 15/15 ponies on 75 days. Viremia was quantified using PBMC DNA, subsequent to challenge infection in 3 additional ponies. Viremia was identified in 1/3 ponies on a single day by virus isolation; real-time PCR detected viremia in 3/3 ponies on 17 days. When real-time PCR was used to analyze PBMC DNA from 11 latently infected ponies (documented by nested PCR), EHV-1 was not detected. We conclude that real-time PCR is a sensitive and quantitative test for EHV-1 nasal shedding and viremia and provides a valuable tool for EHV-1 surveillance, diagnosis of clinical disease, and investigation of vaccine efficacy. }, number={4}, journal={Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Hussey, Stephen B. and Clark, Rodney and Lunn, Katharine F. and Breathnach, Cormac and Soboll, Gisela and Whalley, J.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were prepared from up to 10 horse foals at regular intervals throughout the first 6 months of life. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were collected at 1, 3 or 6 months of age from three groups of five foals.

In addition, RNA was extracted from freshly isolated and in vitro stimulated PBMC and BAL cells for quantitation of IFNgamma gene expression by real time PCR. Newborn foals exhibited a marked inability to express the IFNgamma gene and produce IFNgamma protein. This deficiency was observed in both circulating and pulmonary lymphocytes. However, IFNgamma gene expression and protein production increased steadily throughout the first 6 months of life, reaching adult levels within the first year of life.

Twenty yearling ponies, seronegative for equine influenza virus, were divided into four groups of five. Group 1 and Group 2 ponies were vaccinated using a DNA prime-rMVA boost vaccination regimen, with HA- or NP-expressing vectors, respectively. Group 3 ponies were vaccinated with rMVA-HA only. Group 4 ponies served as unvaccinated controls. Vaccines were administered on days 0, 42 and 70, and all ponies were challenge infected with influenza virus on day 100. Antigen-specific antibody and cellular immune responses to each vaccination regimen were monitored throughout the experiment. Both groups of HA-vaccinated ponies were significantly protected from clinical disease following challenge infection, demonstrating the efficacy of rMVA vaccination with or without a DNA prime. NP-vaccination provided more limited protection from clinical disease. The protective post-vaccinal immune responses were characterized by antigen-specific IgGa, IgGb and IgA antibodies which were induced both in serum and in nasal secretions. Virus-specific lymphoproliferative and IFN-gamma mRNA responses were also elicited by each vaccination regimen.

In humans with similar thrombotic conditions, P-selectin and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1)-mediated platelet-leukocyte adhesion contributes to the pathogenesis of these disorders through the generation of inflammatory mediators and tissue factor. As such, we hypothesized that a P-selectin-PSGL-1 (platelet-leukocyte) interaction, similar to that in humans, may also exist in the horse. The objective of this study was to investigate phenotypic and morphological properties of equine platelet activation with a focus on CD62P (P-selectin) expression and CD62P mediated platelet-leukocyte interactions. To study high levels of platelet activation, we used 1 U/ml thrombin to induce secondary, irreversible aggregation in both human and equine platelets. Addition of glycyl-L-prolyl-L-arginyl-L-proline amide (GPRP) prior to thrombin activation blocked fibrin polymerization, allowing the use of flow cytometry to study alpha-granule expression as a measure of platelet activation. Thrombin activation resulted in high levels of activation, measured as P-selectin expression, in both humans and equines. Interestingly, our research illustrates that in healthy horses, P-selectin is also constitutively expressed on 20-25% of resting platelets. This finding is in direct contrast to humans, in which P-selectin expression is negligible (<5%) in the absence of agonist activation. The high baseline level of P-selectin expression among equine platelets may suggest that they are primed for leukocyte adhesion, possibly resulting in prothrombotic conditions. This phenomenon could be of significant clinical relevance, as it may be related to the rapid clinical decline often seen in equine patients with colic and endotoxemia, where vascular injury and thrombotic complications compromise patient survival.

Expression of the nonclassical MHC class I molecule HLA-G by invading trophoblasts may play a central role in their protection from recognition by the maternal immune system; however, the ontogeny of trophoblast HLA-G expression during the earliest stages of implantation is difficult to evaluate in human pregnancy. We previously identified a novel nonclassical MHC class I molecule, Mamu-AG, which is expressed in the rhesus monkey placenta and shares many unique characteristics of HLA-G. Immunocytochemical analysis with a Mamu-AG-specific mAb and locus-specificin situhybridization of rhesus implantation sites 7–12 days after embryo attachment (days 14–19 of pregnancy) demonstrated that Mamu-AG molecules are expressed predominantly in cytotrophoblasts invading the maternal vessels and endometrium, whereas syncytiotrophoblasts covering trophoblastic lacunae or newly formed chorionic villi remained largely Mamu-AG-negative. By day 36 of pregnancy, Mamu-AG glycoprotein also was expressed in villous syncytiotrophoblasts, and accumulation of Mamu-AG glycoprotein was noted at the border between maternal decidua and fetal trophoblasts.

The equine immune response to natural influenza virus infection results in long-term protective immunity, and is characterized by mucosal IgA and serum IgGa and IgGb antibody responses. DNA vaccination offers a radical alternative to conventional vaccines, with the potential to generate the same protective immune responses seen following viral infection. Antigen-specific antibody isotype responses in serum and mucosal secretions were studied in ponies following particle-mediated delivery of hemagglutinin (HA)-DNA vaccination on three occasions at approximately 63-day intervals. One group of four ponies were vaccinated at skin and mucosal sites and the another group were vaccinated at skin sites only. All ponies were subjected to a challenge infection 30 days after the third vaccination. Skin and mucosal vaccination provided complete protection from clinical signs of infection, while skin vaccination provided partial protection; DNA vaccination provided partial protection from viral shedding. DNA vaccination generated only IgGa and IgGb antibody responses, which occurred with a higher frequency in the skin and mucosa vaccinated ponies. No mucosal IgA response was generated prior to challenge infection and IgA responses were only detected in those ponies which shed virus postchallenge. These results demonstrate that HA-DNA vaccination induces IgG(a) and IgG(b) antibody responses which are associated with protection in the absence of mucosal IgA responses. In addition, additional DNA vaccinations of mucosal sites increased protection and the frequency of seroconversion in ponies.}, number={18}, journal={Vaccine}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Lunn, D.P and Soboll, G and Schram, B.R and Quass, J and McGregor, M.W and Drape, R.J and Macklin, M.D and McCabe, D.E and Swain, W.F and Olsen, C.W}, year={1999}, month={May}, pages={2245–2258} } @inbook{lunn_olsen_soboll_mcgregor_macklin_mccabe_swain_1999, place={Newmarket}, title={Development of practical DNA vaccination strategies for use in horses}, booktitle={Equine Infectious Diseases VIII}, publisher={R&W Publications}, author={Lunn, D.P. and Olsen, C.W. and Soboll, G. and McGregor, M.W. and Macklin, M.D. and McCabe, D.E. and Swain, W.F.}, editor={Wernery, U and Wade, JA and Mumford, JA and Kaaden, O-REditors}, year={1999}, pages={38–43} } @article{kim_parrish_momont_lunn_1999, title={Effects of Experimentally Generated Bull Antisperm Antibodies on In Vitro Fertilization1}, volume={60}, ISSN={0006-3363 1529-7268}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod60.6.1285}, DOI={10.1095/biolreprod60.6.1285}, abstractNote={To test the hypothesis that bull antisperm antibodies have the capacity to interfere with fertilization, antisperm antibodies were generated in three 13-mo-old Holstein bulls by auto-immunizing each bull with sperm three times.

Several techniques have been used to study and define this locus but they are generally time consuming and limited in their ability to detect novel alleles. In this study we used denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and direct sequencing, for BoLA‐DRB3‐typing. First, modified locus‐specific primers were used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a 240 bp fragment of exon 2 of BoLA‐DRB3 from the genomic DNA of 22 cattle and one pair of twin calves. The reverse primer included a GC‐rich clamp to improve the physical separation of the BoLA‐DRB3 alleles by DGGE. The denaturing gradient needed to produce separation of alleles was determined using perpendicular DGGE, and this gradient was then applied to parallel denaturing gels. The optimal time for producing allele separation was determined using a time‐series analysis. The bands representing individual BoLA‐DRB3 alleles were excised from the gels, reamplified, and the nucleotide sequence determined using fluorescent‐based automated cycle sequencing. The nucleotide sequences of the separated bands were then compared to published BoLA‐DRB3 alleles. A gradient of 10–15% acrylamide combined with a 15–50% urea‐formamide gradient was successfully used to separate BoLA‐DRB3 alleles in all individuals examined. Nucleotide sequencing showed that the 24 animals possessed 13 BoLA‐DRB3 alleles, all of which have been previously described. The BoLA‐DRB3 genotypes included 20 heterozygotes and two homozygotes. Three BoLA‐DRB3 alleles were seen in each of the twin calves, possibly due to leukochimerism. The technique is reliable and rapid, and avoids cloning alleles prior to nucleotide sequencing and therefore offers distinct advantages over previous techniques for BoLA‐DRB3‐typing.}, number={5}, journal={Animal Genetics}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Aldridge, B.

Colostrum is thought to have additional generalized and antigen-specific immunomodulatory activities, of which the downregulation of endogenous immunoglobulin production is best documented. The objective of this study was to examine whether ingestion of colostrum altered the B cell subpopulations in the lymph nodes of newborn calves. Calves were fed one gallon of either fresh colostrum (Group A, n=5), milk replacer (Group B, n=5) or treated (frozen or irradiated) colostrum (Group D, n=4) and were euthanized at 36–48 h. An additional 5 calves (Group C, 3 newborn and 2 mid-term fetuses) did not receive any feedings; the neonatal calves were euthanized immediately following birth. Mesenteric and regional lymph nodes from all calves were analyzed by immunocytochemistry using monoclonal antibodies recognizing bovine IgA, IgG1, IgG2, and IgM. Calves from Groups B and C (colostrum deprived, neonates, and fetuses) showed a consistent pattern of IgG1 and IgG2 positive cells scattered individually and in clusters throughout lymph node cortex, paracortex, and cortico–medullary junction. In sharp contrast, no IgG1 and IgG2 positive cells were present in the lymphoid tissues of colostrum fed calves (Groups A or D). Numbers of IgM and IgA positive cells were similarly distributed in all calf groups. These findings demonstrate that colostrum feeding reduces the number of immunoglobulin positive cells in the lymphoid tissues of newborn calves in an isotype-specific manner. This results in the elimination of IgG1 and IgG2 positive cells that are present in both fetuses and newborn calves. This effect is not eliminated by freezing or irradiation, indicating that a non-cellular, cold-stable colostral factor is responsible. Systemically distributed colostral proteins such as immunoglobulin or cytokines are the most likely mediators. The significance of this phenomenon in terms of colostral modulation of calf endogenous antibody production is discussed.}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Aldridge, B.M and McGuirk, S.M and Lunn, D.P}, year={1998}, month={Mar}, pages={51–64} } @inbook{lunn_horohov_hannant_1998, place={London}, title={Immunology of Horses and Donkeys}, ISBN={9780125464017}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/b978-012546401-7/50012-3}, DOI={10.1016/b978-012546401-7/50012-3}, booktitle={Handbook of Vertebrate Immunology}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Lunn, D.P. and Horohov, D.W. and Hannant, D.}, editor={Pastoret, P.-P. and Bazin, H. and Griebel, P. and Govaerts, A.Editors}, year={1998}, pages={343–371} } @article{nelson_schram_mcgregor_olsen_lunn_1998, title={Local and systemic isotype-specific antibody responses to equine influenza virus infection versus conventional vaccination}, volume={16}, ISSN={0264-410X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0264-410x(98)00009-7}, DOI={10.1016/s0264-410x(98)00009-7}, abstractNote={Inactivated alum-adjuvanted conventional equine influenza virus vaccines are of poor efficacy and offer limited short-term protection against infection.

In order to identify the protective immune responses to equine influenza virus, the influenza virus-specific IgA, IgGa, IgGb, IgGc and IgG(T) antibody responses in nasal secretions and serum induced by natural infection and a commercial vaccine were studied by ELISA. Two groups of four influenza-naive ponies were established. In the natural infection group, ponies received 108.5 EID50 of A/equine/Ky/1/81 by intranasal instillation, were allowed to recover, and then were rechallenged 100 days later. All four ponies exhibited clinical signs of influenza virus infection and viral shedding following primary infection, but were completely protected from challenge infection. Antibody responses to primary infection were characterized by nasal IgA and serum IgGa and IgGb responses. Ponies in the conventional vaccine group received a commercially available vaccine by intramuscular injection followed by a booster injection 3 weeks later. Challenge infection 100 days after vaccination resulted in clinical signs of infection and viral shedding. Antibody responses to vaccination were restricted to serum IgG(T) responses only.

There remains enormous scope and need for further studies of equine leucocyte antigens and immunoglobulins, both for the purposes of comparative immunology and for the good of the horse. In the future novel techniques will be required to develop reagents for specific target antigens such as the orthologues of the CD25 or CD45 isoforms. In studies of equine immunoglobulins the functional role of the IgG isotypes must be better established, reagents for IgE must be developed, and cloning of the immunoglobulin heavy chain genes will be essential if the complexities of the IgG sub-isotypes are to be elucidated. The tasks still facing the currently small group of equine immunologists throughout the world remain formidable, and will only be tackled successfully in a spirit of collaboration.}, number={2}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Lunn, D.P and Holmes, M.A and Antczak, D.F and Agerwal, N and Baker, Jessica and Bendali-Ahcene, S and Blanchard-Channell, Myra and Byrne, Katherine M and Cannizzo, Karen and Davis, W and et al.}, year={1998}, month={Mar}, pages={101–143} } @article{vagnoni_lunn_ginther_1997, title={Equine chorionic girdle cells: molecular aspects}, volume={9}, journal={ARTA}, author={Vagnoni, K. and Lunn, D.P. and Ginther, O.J.}, year={1997}, pages={223–235} } @article{olsen_mcgregor_dybdahl-sissoko_schram_nelson_paul lunn_macklin_swain_hinshaw_1997, title={Immunogenicity and efficacy of baculovirus-expressed and DNA-based equine influenza virus hemagglutinin vaccines in mice}, volume={15}, ISSN={0264-410X}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0264-410x(96)00309-x}, DOI={10.1016/s0264-410x(96)00309-x}, abstractNote={Two fundamentally different approaches to vaccination of BALB/c mice with the hemagglutinin (HA) of A/Equine/Kentucky/1/81 (H3N8) (Eq/KY) were evaluated, that is, administration of HA protein vs administration of HA-encoding DNA. Each vaccine was tested for its immunogenicity and ability to provide protection from homologous virus challenge. HA protein was synthesized in vitro by infection of Sf21 insect cells with a recombinant baculovirus. Intranasal administration of this vaccine induced virus-specific antibodies, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but did not induce virus neutralizing (VN) antibodies. This route of administration provided partial protection from virus challenge, but interestingly, this protection was completely abrogated, rather than enhanced, by co-administration of 10 μg of cholera holotoxin. As a second approach, mice were directly vaccinated in vivo by Accell® gene gun delivery of plasmid DNA encoding the Eq/KY HA gene. This approach induced VN antibodies as well as virus-specific ELISA antibodies. When two doses of DNA vaccine were administered 3 weeks apart, mice were not protected from challenge, although they cleared the infection more rapidly than control mice. However, when the second DNA vaccination was delayed until 9 weeks after the first, 9 out of 10 vaccinated mice were completely protected.

The mechanisms involved in the control of chorionic girdle cell invasion and altered MHCI expression over time are not known. The objective of this study, therefore, was to determine the timing of invasion and the characteristics of MHC expression by girdle cells cultured on Matrigel to determine whether chorionic girdle cell behavior in this environment is similar to the behavior in vivo. Chorionic girdles from four conceptuses were collected on each of Days 30, 31, and 32 and placed in Matrigel invasion chambers for 48 h and in additional duplicate chambers for a time period equivalent to the number of days from the day of collection to Day 36 (6, 5, and 4 days, respectively). After these culture times, the area of the filter covered by invasive cells was determined through use of the software program NIH image. At 48 h, Day 31 and Day 32 girdle cell preparations had invaded Matrigel; but only one Day 30 girdle cell preparation showed invasion into Matrigel, and the extent of invasion was limited. Girdle cells collected on all 3 days had invaded Matrigel by the time equivalent to Day 36. Additionally, chorionic girdles from six conceptuses were collected on Day 34 and placed in Matrigel invasion chambers. Three of these were examined for surface antigen expression of MHCI, MHCII, and a trophoblast-specific antigen (102.1) by immunocytochemistry (ICC) every 48 h to a time point equivalent to Day 44. The remaining three were examined for these same antigens at times equivalent to Days 36, 40, 50, and 60. Invasive Day 34 girdle cells expressed MHCI and trophoblast-specific antigen, but not MHCII, at each time examined (Days 36-60). Neither the timing of invasion nor MHCI expression by chorionic girdle cells on Matrigel mimicked what occurs in vivo.

The objective, therefore, was to develop an in vitro system to examine the mechanisms of equine chorionic girdle cell invasion through extracellular matrix. Day 34 chorionic girdle cell preparations were cultured on Matrigel Invasion Chambers. The cultured invasive cells were binucleate with prominent nucleoli and were often highly vacuolated, consistent with in vivo cup cell morphology. In addition, the cultured cells produced eCG. Additional Day 34 chorionic girdle cell preparations were cultured on Matrigel Invasion Chambers with or without proteinase inhibitors (aprotinin, bestatin, 1,10-phenanthroline) to determine the proteinase activity associated with girdle cell invasion. Only the metalloproteinase inhibitor, 1,10-phenanthroline, inhibited chorionic girdle cell invasion through Matrigel. Chorionic girdle cell supernatants were characterized by zymography, and the proteinases produced by these cells were confirmed to be metalloproteinases at approximate molecular masses of 72 and 95 kDa.

CID is an autosomal recessive condition that results in the absence of both B and T lymphocytes. Affected foals suffer from a variety of infectious disease, and are largely dependent on passively transferred maternal immunity for protection. Diagnosis of combined immunodeficiency is based on 3 criteria: (1) persistent lymphopenia, (2) absence of IgM in foals over 4 weeks of age, and (3) lymphoid hypoplasia of the thymus, spleen and lymph nodes. This report describes 3 cases of CID presented to the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison between May and August of 1992. Initial diagnostic procedures to evaluate the signs of respiratory disease in this foal included a complete blood cell count (CBC), arterial blood gas evaluation, cytological and bacteriological examination of a trans-tracheal lavage specimen and thoracic radiographs. Abnormal CBC results (Table 1; Day 1) included severe lymphopenia, hyperfibrinogenaemia and a slight left shift. The foal was hypoxaemic (Pao, 41.5 mmHg) and thoracic radiographs showed signs of a marked generalised interstitial pattern. Cytological examination showed a suppurative neutrophilic exudate in the tracheal fluid, and Streptococcus zooepidemicus, sensitive both to penicillin and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, was isolated in culture.}, number={1}, journal={Equine Veterinary Education}, publisher={Wiley}, author={McClure, J.

On the basis of tissue distribution and biochemical characteristics, this antigen is equine MHC II. The equine MHC II antigen was found on a large subset of T-lymphocytes in addition to all B-lymphocytes, as has been reported previously. In addition MHC II was found to be present on a large proportion of both the mutually exclusive equine T-lymphocyte subpopulations which express either the equine homologues of CD4, or CD8. In a study of changes in equine MHC II expression with age it was found that far fewer lymphocytes express MHC II in neonatal foals than in adult horses. An increase with age was demonstrated. This age related change in MHC II expression was shown to occur principally within the T-lymphocyte subpopulation. It is proposed that this change may be associated with the development of a memory T-lymphocyte population, and that MHC II expression may be a marker for memory T-lymphocytes.}, number={3-4}, journal={Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Lunn, D.Paul and Holmes, Mark A. and Duffus, W.Philip H.}, year={1993}, month={Jan}, pages={225–238} } @article{lunn_cuddon_shaftoe_archer_1993, title={Familial occurrence of narcolepsy in Miniature Horses}, volume={25}, ISSN={0425-1644 2042-3306}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.2042-3306.1993.tb02998.x}, DOI={10.1111/j.2042-3306.1993.tb02998.x}, abstractNote={Summary}, number={6}, journal={Equine Veterinary Journal}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Lunn, D.
