Bovine plasma contains factors that can stimulate bovine neutrophils. Bovine plasma at 1:1,000,000-1:1,000 dilution induced a dose-dependent superoxide production in bovine neutrophils. When bovine plasma was fractionated with a protein G column, only the IgG fraction contained induction activity. At similar concentrations purified IgG induced a much stronger response than that of plasma IgG. Purified monomeric bovine IgG induced a dose-dependent increase in superoxide production. The maximum induction can be achieved at 100 micrograms/ml of bovine IgG. When subclasses of bovine IgG were examined, monomeric bovine IgG2 potently stimulated bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In contrast, bovine IgG 1 failed to induce a response at similar concentrations, and neither bovine IgG F(ab')2 and Fc were effective. Both recombinant bovine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (r-BoGM-CSF) and recombinant bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (r-BoG-CSF) primed bovine neutrophils for superoxide production induced by bovine IgG. The above results suggest that: (1) bovine plasma contain factors that can activate bovine neutrophils; (2) bovine plasma IgG is the major component that is responsible for bovine neutrophil activation; (3) bovine plasma contains factors that can inhibit the effect of bovine IgG; (4) monomeric bovine IgG2, but not IgG1, can activate bovine neutrophils directly without Fc receptor cross-linkage; (5) the integrity of bovine IgG is important in bovine polymorphonuclear leukocyte activation; and (6) bovine neutrophil activation induced by bovine IgG can be primed by r-BoGM-CSF or r-BoG-CSF.
