Abstract
Besides its importance as a livestock species, pig is increasingly being used as an animal model for biomedical research. Macrophages play critical roles in immunity to pathogens, tissue development, homeostasis and tissue repair. These cells are also primary targets for replication of viruses such as African swine fever virus, classical swine fever virus, and porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus, which can cause huge economic losses to the pig industry. In this article, we review the current status of knowledge on porcine macrophages, starting by reviewing the markers available for their phenotypical characterization and following with the characteristics of the main macrophage populations described in different organs, as well as the effect of polarization conditions on their phenotype and function. We will also review available cell lines suitable for studies on the biology of porcine macrophages and their interaction with pathogens.

Abstract
A variety of dressings is available for the treatment of partial-thickness wounds, but none has strong evidence supporting their beneficial effect on healing. This may be due to variation in the type and depth of wounds in clinical studies. The aim of this study was to use a standardized porcine wound model to compare three dressings commonly used in burn centers for partial-thickness burns. Partial-thickness scalds were made on the flanks of pigs. Wounds were treated with silver sulfadiazine (SSD, flammazine), a hydrofiber dressing, or glycerol-preserved allogeneic (pig) skin. The healing process was monitored for 8 weeks. Macroscopic parameters were the itching behavior, the cosmetic appearance of the scars, and contraction. Microscopic parameters were the inflammatory response, myofibroblast influx, and the numbers of nerves. All wounds were closed on day 14 and wound infection did not occur. Treatment with SSD resulted in significantly more wound contraction compared to treatment with glycerol-preserved pig skin. Animals treated with SSD suffered more from itching (scratching) during the first 2 weeks after wounding. The number of nerves in healing wounds of these animals was significantly higher compared to wounds treated with hydrofiber dressing or allogeneic skin. In our standardized porcine partial-thickness wound model, treatment with SSD resulted in less favorable wound healing. Compared to treatment with glycerol-preserved allogeneic skin, SSD resulted in more contraction.

Heterogeneous populations from in vitro cultures of antigen presenting cells in pigs. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2021; 234:110215.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells (APCs). Because of the difficulty in obtaining these cells directly from tissues, different sources of DCs are frequently used for in vitro experimentation and many of their biological and functional characteristics were studied using these systems. Until recently, it was assumed that specific culture conditions polarized the differentiation of either DCs or macrophages (Macs); however, it was shown that some DC culture systems in other species generate heterogeneous cell populations that can be identified according to their CD11c and MHC class II (MHC-II) expression. Following this approach, porcine DCs were directly isolated from peripheral blood or differentiated in vitro by culturing bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells or blood monocytes treated with growth factors. Mostly homogeneous monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) were obtained with similar phenotype and phagocytic characteristics to that of blood DCs. On the contrary, BM-derived DC (BMDC) cultures generated two distinct heterogeneous populations identified as MHC-II+ and MHC-II++ cells. BMDCs MHC-II+ had similar phenotypic and phagocytic characteristics to those of MoDCs and blood DCs. However, BMDCs MHC-II++ population expressed a higher amount of surface markers and transcribed genes associated with Macs-lineage exhibiting a higher phagocytic capacity than all the other cells. Noteworthy, every cell system expressed different genetic signatures. These results will help interpreting and re-interpreting data obtained using in vitro systems.

Abstract
ASFV causes an important disease of domestic swine and wild boar. Currently no vaccine is available, highlighting the necessity to understand ASFV modulation of innate immune responses in natural host cells. With this aim, macrophage cultures enriched in SWC9 and CD163 differentiation markers were infected in parallel with high virulent ASFV/L60 and low virulent ASFV/NHV, the latter lacking MGF 360 and 505/530 genes associated with type I interferon (IFN I) control. IFN I production and signaling were studied after completion of the viral cycles. None of the viruses increased IFN I production in host cells, and accordingly, didn't cause activation of the central mediator of the pathway IRF3. However, upon stimulation by poly:IC treatment during infections, L60 and NHV similarly inhibited IFN I production. This didn't seem to depend on IRF3 modulation since its activation levels were not significantly decreased in L60 infection and were even increased in NHV's, in comparison to stimulated mock infections. The infections didn't evidently activate JAK-STAT pathway mediators STAT1 and STAT2, but did increase expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), to higher levels in NHV than L60 infection. Interestingly, in presence of IFN-α, L60 but not NHV was able to decrease significantly the expression of some of the ISGs tested. Overall, both L60 and NHV were able to inhibit IFN I production in macrophages, through a mechanism not dependent on IRF3 modulation. The high virulent isolate showed however a more effective control of the downstream ISGs expression pathway.

Abstract
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly pathogenic, double-stranded DNA virus with a marked tropism for cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage, affecting swine species and provoking severe economic losses and health threats. In the present study, four established porcine cell lines, IPAM-WT, IPAM-CD163, C∆2+ and WSL, were compared to porcine alveolar macrophage (PAM) in terms of surface marker phenotype, susceptibility to ASFV infection and virus production. The virulent ASFV Armenia/07, E70 or the naturally attenuated NHV/P68 strains were used as viral models. Cells expressed only low levels of specific receptors linked to the monocyte/macrophage lineage, with low levels of infection overall, with the exception of WSL, which showed more efficient production of strain NHV/P68 but not of strains E70 and Armenia/07.

CD1 - and CD1 + porcine blood dendritic cells are enriched for the orthologues of the two major mammalian conventional subsets. Sci Rep 2017; 7:40942.

Abstract
Conventional dendritic cells (cDC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that induce immune activation or tolerance. Two functionally specialised populations, termed cDC1 and cDC2, have been described in humans, mice, ruminants and recently in pigs. Pigs are an important biomedical model species and a key source of animal protein; therefore further understanding of their immune system will help underpin the development of disease prevention strategies. To characterise cDC populations in porcine blood, DC were enriched from PBMC by CD14 depletion and CD172a enrichment then stained with lineage mAbs (Lin; CD3, CD8α, CD14 and CD21) and mAbs specific for CD172a, CD1 and CD4. Two distinct porcine cDC subpopulations were FACSorted CD1- cDC (Lin-CD172+ CD1-CD4-) and CD1+ cDC (Lin-CD172a+ CD1+ CD4-), and characterised by phenotypic and functional analyses. CD1+ cDC were distinct from CD1- cDC, expressing higher levels of CD172a, MHC class II and CD11b. Following TLR stimulation, CD1+ cDC produced IL-8 and IL-10 while CD1- cDC secreted IFN-α, IL-12 and TNF-α. CD1- cDC were superior in stimulating allogeneic T cell responses and in cross-presenting viral antigens to CD8 T cells. Comparison of transcriptional profiles further suggested that the CD1- and CD1+ populations were enriched for the orthologues of cDC1 and cDC2 subsets respectively.

Abstract
Collagen-elastin (CE) scaffolds are frequently used for dermal replacement in the treatment of full-thickness skin defects such as burn wounds. But little is known about the optimal pore size and level of cross-linking. Different formulations of dermal substitutes with unidirectional pores were tested in porcine full-thickness wounds in combination with autologous split skin mesh grafts (SSG). Effect on wound healing was evaluated both macro- and microscopically. CE scaffolds with a pore size of 80 or 100 μm resulted in good wound healing after one-stage grafting. Application of scaffolds with a larger average pore size (120 μm) resulted in more myofibroblasts and more foreign body giant cells (FBGC). Moderate crosslinking impaired wound healing as it resulted in more wound contraction, more FBGC and increased epidermal thickness compared to no cross-linking. In addition, take rate and redness were negatively affected compared to SSG only. Vascularization and the number of myofibroblasts were not affected by cross-linking. Surprisingly, stability of cross-linked scaffolds was not increased in the wound environment, in contrast to in vitro results. Cross-linking reduced the proliferation of fibroblasts in vitro, which might explain the reduced clinical outcome. The non-cross-linked CE substitute with unidirectional pores allowed one-stage grafting of SSG, resulting in good wound healing. In addition, only a very mild foreign body reaction was observed. Cross-linking of CE scaffolds negatively affected wound healing on several important parameters. The optimal non-cross-linked CE substitute is a promising candidate for future clinical evaluation.

Abstract
The efficient delivery of plasmids encoding antigenic determinants into dendritic cells (DCs) that control immune response is a promising strategy for rapid development of new vaccines. In this study, we prepared a series of targeted cationic lipoplex based on two synthetic lipid components, mannose-poly(ethylene glycol, MW3000)-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (Mannose-PEG3000-DSPE) and O-(2R-1,2-di-O-(1'Z-octadecenyl)-glycerol)-3-N-(bis-2-aminoethyl)-carbamate (BCAT), that were formulated with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) for evaluation as nonviral vectors for transgene expression in DCs. First, we optimized the N/P ratio for maximum transfection and then screened the effects of mannose targeting for further enhancement of transfection levels. Our results indicate that efficient delivery of gWIZ GFP plasmid into DCs was observed for mannose compositions of ∼10%, whereas low transfection efficiencies were observed with nontargeted formulations. Mannose-targeted lipofectamine complexes also showed high GFP expression levels in DCs relative to nontargeted lipofectamine controls. The best transfection performance was observed using 10 mol % Mannose-PEG3000-DSPE, 60 mol % BCAT, and 30 mol % DOPE, indicating that the most efficient delivery into DCs occurs via synergistic interaction between mannose targeting and acid-labile, fusogenic BCAT/DOPE formulations. Our data suggest that mannose-PEG3000-DSPE/BCAT/DOPE formulations may be effective gene delivery vehicles for the development of DC-based vaccines.

Abstract
This review focuses in what is currently known about swine myeloid markers, the expression and function of these receptors in the biology of porcine myelomonocytic cells, the regulation of their expression along the different developmental stages of these cells and their utility to investigate the heterogeneity of monocyte and macrophage populations. Although the number of monoclonal antibodies recognizing surface antigens expressed on either swine granulocytes or monocytes is low compared with those available for human or mouse, they have contributed significantly to study the members of myeloid lineages in this species, allowing to discriminate different maturation stages of these cells in bone marrow and to reveal the heterogeneity of blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. Porcine myeloid cells share many similarities with humans, highlighting the relevance of the pig as a biomedical model.

Abstract
Besides their breeding value, swine are increasingly used as biomedical models. As reported in three international swine clusters of differentiation (CD) workshops and in the animal homologue section of the last workshop for the determination of human leukocyte differentiation antigens (HLDA 8), characterisation of leukocyte surface antigens by monoclonal antibodies and other molecular studies have determined the cell lineages and blood leukocyte subsets implicated in the immune response, including cell adhesion molecules involved in cell trafficking. This review focusses on the current state of knowledge of porcine leukocyte differentiation and major histocompatibility complex (SLA) molecules. Examples of porcine particularities such as the double-positive T lymphocytes with the phenotype CD(4+)CD8(low) and CD(4-)CD8(low) alphabeta T cell subsets and the persistence of SLA class II after T-lymphocyte activation are illustrated, as well as the shared characteristics of the Artiodactyla group, such as the high proportion of gammadelta TcR (T cell receptor) T cells in blood and other lymphoid tissues. Furthermore, discrepancies between swine and humans, such as CD16 expression on dendritic cells and CD11b (wCD11R1) tissue distribution are outlined. The rapidly growing information should facilitate manipulation of the swine immune system towards improving disease control, and open new avenues for biomedical research using the pig as a model.

Abstract
Intracellular flow cytometry is a method of cytokine detection that allows simultaneous detection of intracellular cytokines and cell surface markers. This important method is not extensively used in pigs, in particular due to the inaccessibility of proper methodological protocols modifying comprehensive human protocols. The aim of this study was to find the best procedure for fixation and permeabilization of porcine blood leukocytes and simultaneous cell surface staining. Permeabilization with commercial kits gave better results in most of the chosen parameters compared with combinations of different concentrations of paraformaldehyde and saponin. Among the commercial kits tested, the best results were obtained with the IntraStain kit. Cell surface markers were detected on cells stimulated for cytokine production by antibodies anti-CD14 (clone MIL-2), anti-SWC3, anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 except anti-CD14 (clone Tük4). While anti-CD8 (clone MIL-12) must be used for staining of unfixed cells, the other antibodies recognize fixed and/or permeabilized cells. Moreover, anti-SWC3 and anti-CD14 (clone MIL-2) antibodies can stain cells during the permeabilization step. These modifications of the cell surface staining protocol allow the researcher to speed up the procedure of intracellular cytokine staining or to combine cell surface staining and intracellular cytokine staining. The present study can serve as a particular protocol of intracellular cytokine detection and as a suggestion for optimization of the fixation, permeabilization and cell surface staining procedure in any laboratory.

Abstract
Swine monocytes constitute a heterogeneous population of cells which can be divided into four subsets based on the expression of SWC3, CD14, CD163 and swine leucocyte antigen (SLA) DR markers. These subsets appear to represent different maturation stages in a pathway along which these cells up-regulate the expression of SLA DR and CD163 antigens and reduce that of CD14. Differences in the expression of adhesion and costimulatory molecules are also patent, with a progressive increase in the expression of CD11a, wCD11R1, CD29, CD49d, CD61, CD1a and CD80/86, and a concomitant decrease in that of wCD11R2. Besides, these subsets differ in their capacity for tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in response to lipopolysaccharide + interferon-gamma. The CD163(+) CD14(-) SLA DR(+) subset produces higher amounts of TNF-alpha than the CD163(-) CD14(+) SLA DR(-) subset, whereas CD163(+) CD14(+) SLA DR(+) and CD163(-) CD14(+) SLA DR(+) subsets show intermediate values. CD163(+) monocytes also display a higher ability to present soluble antigens to T cells than CD163(-) monocytes.

Abstract
To study adherence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae to porcine lower respiratory epithelium, a cell culture model was developed using primary cultures of porcine lung epithelial cells (LEC). Adherence assays were performed and results were compared with data obtained with swine kidney cells (SK6). A. pleuropneumoniae efficiently adhered to LEC with up to 62 bacteria per cell after 2h of incubation. Reference strain of serotype 3 (R3) adhered better to LEC than reference strains of serotypes 1 (R1), 7 (R7) and 8 (R8). Overall the adherence to LEC was more rapid and up to 30-fold more efficient than adherence to SK6 cells. In search for the mechanism involved in the adherence event, we tested the effect of LPS which has previously been demonstrated to cause adherence of the pathogen to upper respiratory epithelium. Adherence assays with LPS transposon mutants demonstrated unaltered (mutant with modification in core/lipid A moiety) or even three-fold more adherence (mutants lacking O antigen) compared to the parent micro-organisms. Purified LPS of strains R1, R3, R7 and R8 did not inhibit adherence of R8 to LEC either, suggesting that LPS and particularly the O-antigen are not essential for adherence of A. pleuropneumoniae to LEC. The efficient, LPS-independent adherence of A. pleuropneumoniae to LEC cells indicates that A. pleuropneumoniae may carry different, cell type-specific adhesins and that primary cultures of lower respiratory epithelium are valuable infection models in studying A. pleuropneumoniae pathogenesis.

Abstract
About 65 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) including 17 internal controls were analyzed for their ability to recognize and bind to various cells of the myelomonocytic lineage. Flow cytometry (FCM) utilizing both single and double staining, and immunoprecipitation (IP) assays were used in the analysis. About 38 of the mAb were reactive with myelomonocytic cells, resulting in nine clusters of interest. Although the exact identity of many of the molecules on the cells bound by the mAb remains undetermined, information obtained about the mAb analyzed in this workshop should be helpful in further identifying various populations of myelomonocytic cells and their stages of differentiation. Out of 12 mAbs with potential CD11 specificity, seven were assigned to three different swine specific alpha chains of the CD11/CD18 integrin heterodimer, the assignment of the remaining four was tentative. One antibody had a binding specificity consistent with SWC3 and one with SWC8. CD14 expression on pig cells was characterized with a panel of CD14-positive antibodies, two of these antibodies were assigned to swine CD14. Two antibodies were assigned to CD163. Further work is required to determine the antigens recognized by many of the other mAb.

Abstract
The aim of the Third International Workshop on Swine Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (CD workshop), supported by the Veterinary Immunology Committee (VIC) of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), was to standardize the assignment of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) reactive with porcine leukocyte differentiation antigens and to define new antibody clusters, using nomenclature in accordance with human and ruminant CD nomenclature, as agreed at the summary meeting of the Second International Swine CD Workshop in Davis, 1995: only mAb with proven reactivity for the orthologous porcine gene product or cross-reactivity for the human gene products, were given the full CD nomenclature, all other allocations were prefixed with "w". As in previous workshops, the overall organization was entrusted to the chair and first author, with support by the chair of the previous workshop and second author. In addition to the existing 26 pig leukocyte CD/SWC determinants established in previous workshops, this workshop established/confirmed another 11 CDs for pig leukocytes, identified by a total of 21 mAb: CD11R1 (2 mAb), CD11R2 (1 mAb), CD11R3 (4 mAb), wCD40 (1 mAb), wCD46 (4 mAb), wCD47 (3 mAb), wCD49d (1 mAb), CD61 (1 mAb), wCD92 (1 mAb), wCD93 (1 mAb) and CD163 (2 mAb).

Abstract
Pentoxifylline (PTX) has been shown to exert hepatoprotective effects in various liver injury models. However, little information is available about the effect of PTX on the hepatic acute phase response. In the present study, the effect of PTX on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute phase response in primary porcine liver cell cultures was examined. During 72 hr of incubation with or without LPS, the ability of PTX to influence the secretion of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6), acute phase proteins, and nitric oxide (NO) was assessed. PTX completely inhibited LPS-induced TNF-alpha production and attenuated IL-6 only after 48 hr of incubation. In contrast, PTX potentiated NO production and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in hepatocytes after stimulation with LPS. The increased expression of iNOS and concurrent production of NO was also observed when liver cell cultures were incubated with dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate. No effect of PTX on acute phase protein secretion was observed during 72 hr of incubation. The present results show that PTX differentially affects the endotoxin-induced inflammatory response in primary porcine liver cell cultures by suppressing TNF-alpha and IL-6 while potentiating NO production.

Abstract
This study focuses on the importance of direct contact between Kupffer cells (KCs) and hepatocytes (HCs) during the hepatic inflammatory response using an in vitro approach. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in monocultures of porcine HCs and KCs were compared with cocultures prepared either with direct contact between KCs and HCs (DC cocultures) or without direct contact using cell culture membrane inserts. Our data show that DC cocultures exhibited the highest production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin-6, and nitric oxide (NO) compared with the other cultures. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that TNF-alpha was exclusively produced by KCs, whereas HCs were responsible for NO production after LPS stimulation. Biotransformation capacity, as determined by cytochrome P-450 and UDP glucuronosyl transferase enzyme activities, was most significantly decreased in DC cocultures. These results provide evidence that direct contact between KCs and HCs favors the extensive TNF-alpha production by KCs but in turn affects HC functionality and viability. These findings suggest that direct contact between KCs and HCs plays a key role in the development of a fulminating hepatic inflammatory response.

Abstract
Two mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAB) (clones 2G6 and 2B10) directed against porcine macrophages are described that are suitable for use in immunohistochemistry, FACS analysis and western blot. As immunogen, porcine cells from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were used. The MABs obtained belonged to the mouse IgG1 subclass. The molecular weights of the corresponding antigens were detected by western blot under non-reducing conditions (2G6: 140-150kDa; 2B10: 140-145kDa). For specificity screening, porcine snap-frozen tissues of lung, lung lymph node, tonsil, spleen, thymus, brain, liver, gut and kidney were used. The MABs were able to identify cell populations of the mononuclear phagocytic system in these organs. While MAB 2G6 detected tissue macrophages (sinusoidal lymph node macrophages, red pulp spleen macrophages, Kupffer cells, Langerhans cells, thymus macrophages, macrophages of lung and macrophages of kidney), MAB 2B10 stained cells scattered in the lymph node (subsinusoidal, interfollicular and follicular macrophages) and in the lung interstitium. Additionally, it showed reactivity with Kupffer cells, spleen and kidney macrophages. An immunoreactivity of the MABs could be established also for human but not for bovine and avian macrophages. By flow cytometric analysis, MAB 2B10 reacted with a subpopulation of BAL and peritoneal cells. Antibody 2G6 detected macrophages of the BAL and the peritoneal fluid as well as peripheral blood monocytes.

Abstract
SWC3 was defined at the First International Swine CD Workshop as a specific myelomonocytic antigen of 230 kDa with mAbs 74-22-15, 6F3 and DH59B. In this report, we describe two new mAbs (BL1H7 and BA1C11) that react selectively with granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages. These monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognize a molecule in the range of 90-115 kDa in immunoprecipitation and/or Western blotting analyses. Two-colour FACS analyses showed that the distribution of BL1H7 and BA1C11 antigens was identical to that of SWC3. Moreover, in this assay, mAb 74-22-15 appeared to partially block the binding of mAbs BL1H7 and BA1C11, suggesting that all these mAbs reacted with the same or spatially close epitopes. Cross-blocking analyses indicated that it was the case with mAbs 74-22-15 and BL1H7. Immunoprecipitation experiments with mAbs 74-22-15, BL1H7 and BA1C11, followed by immunoblotting with mAb BL1H7 confirmed that all three mAbs recognize the same molecule. Analysis of the N-terminal sequence carried out on the affinity purified protein revealed homology with members of signal regulatory protein (SIRP) family. Like other members of this family, after treatment with sodium pervanadate, SWC3 became phosphorylated in tyrosines, and associated with the protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1.

Abstract
The acute-phase expression of pig MAP (major acute-phase protein)/ITIH4 (inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4) and haptoglobin were analysed in primary cultures of isolated pig hepatocytes in response to recombinant human (rh) cytokines: tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), as well as to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Analysis of pig MAP/ITIH4 and haptoglobin mRNAs was carried out by RT-PCR amplification. Secreted proteins from the cytokine-treated hepatocytes were quantified by immunochemical techniques. Time-course and dose-response experiments show that pig MAP/ITIH4 and haptoglobin belong to the type II acute-phase proteins, as they are specifically induced by rhIL-6 and not by rhTNF-alpha or rhIL-1. Stimulation of cultured pig hepatocytes with rhIL-6 for 48 h at doses of 1000 U.mL-1 showed a fourfold to fivefold increase in pig MAP/ITIH4 concentration in the medium, while the concentration of haptoglobin only increased twofold. A similar increase in the concentration of pig MAP/ITIH4 was also observed in media of LPS-treated hepatocytes with the simultaneous generation of IL-6 by the Kupffer cells present in the cultures. Albumin secretion decreased after stimulation with doses of 100 or 1000 U.mL-1 rhTNF-alpha, rhIL-1 or rhIL-6. Therefore, it can be concluded that pig MAP/ITIH4 behaves as a major acute-phase protein produced by porcine hepatocytes under the effect of inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
The aim of the Second International Swine Cluster of Differentiation (CD) Workshop, supported by the Veterinary Immunology Committee (VIC) of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS), was to standardize the assignment of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) reactive with porcine leukocyte differentiation antigens and to define new antibody clusters. At the summary meeting of the workshop in July, 1995, revisions in the existing nomenclature for Swine CD were approved, so that the rules are now in accord with those for human and ruminant CD. Swine CD numbers will now be given to clusters of mAb to swine orthologues of human CD molecules when homology is proven by (1) suitable tissue distribution and lymphoid cell subset expression, (2) appropriate molecular mass of the antigen recognized by the mAbs, and (3) reactivity of mAbs with the cloned swine gene products, or cross-reactivity of the mAb on the human gene products. In some cases, this reactivity would not be fully proven, mainly due to the lack of cloned gene products; for these CD antigens, the respective clusters will be assigned by the prefix 'w' which will lead to 'wCD' antigens. As a result of the Second International Swine CD Workshop the assignment of 16 mAb to existing CD groups (CD2a, CD4a, CD5a, wCD6, wCD8, CD14, CD18a, wCD21, wCD25) was confirmed, and 2 mAb to existing swine workshop clusters (SWC). More importantly, for the work on the porcine immune system, was the definition of 5 new swine CD antigens, namely CD3 (recognized by 6 new mAb and 3 epitopes), CD16 (1 new mAb), wCD29 (2 mAb), CD45RA (3 mAb) and CD45RC (1 new mAb). Finally, the demarcation of two new SWC molecules in swine, SWC8 (2 mAb) and SWC9 (2 mAb) was confirmed.

Abstract
Two monoclonal antibodies (mAb) within cluster M4 of the myeloid section of the Second International Swine CD Workshop, C4 (No. 144) and PM18-7 (No. 192), showed reactivity with thymocytes and among cells of myelomonocytic origin with mature macrophages but not with monocytes and granulocytes. Both mAb recognize a protein showing two bands of 205 kDa and 130 kDa under both reducing and non-reducing conditions. Although epitope mapping with these mAb could not be performed, this cluster received the SWC9 designation.
