The phenotype of cryopreserved crossbred porcine PBMC, with special emphasis on NK cell related surface markers, was characterised. The phenotype expressed prior to stimulation with rHu IL2 and rHu IL12 was related to the in vitro cytotoxic capacity estimated in a 4-h or 21-h 51Cr-release assay. PBMC incubated in growth medium without addition of cytokines were used to investigate the spontaneous cytotoxic capacity. The results of this study suggest that crossbred porcine PBMC comprise a specific subset expressing the phenotype CD2+CD3-CD4-CD8+SWC3-CD16+CD21-. No spontaneous cytotoxicity of the PBMC could be estimated, but the expression of CD16 seems to be a basic marker of the cytokine induced cytotoxic activity. This study suggests that cryopreserved porcine PBMC can be used when possible influences on the porcine NK cell system are investigated in relation to disease models conducted experimentally in crossbred pigs.
