Abstract
Transplantation medicine is used for the treatment of severe canine diseases, and the dog
leukocyte antigen (DLA) is considered to be important in graft rejection. However, the
utility of direct sequencing of both DLA classes I and II has not been assessed
thoroughly. Eight healthy beagles with identified DLA genes were divided into two sets of
four dogs, each including one donor and three recipients for skin transplantation. The
following recipients were selected: one dog with a complete match, one with a
haploidentical match, and one with a complete mismatch of the DLA gene with the donor.
Full-thickness skin segments were obtained from each donor and transplanted to the
recipients. A mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assay was performed and analyzed by flow
cytometry. Skin grafts of DLA haploidentical and mismatched pairs were grossly rejected
within 14 days, whereas in fully matched DLA pairs, survival was as long as 21 days.
Histopathological evaluation also showed moderate to severe lymphocytic infiltration and
necrosis in DLA mismatched pairs. As seen in the MLR assay, the stimulation index of DLA
mismatched pairs was significantly higher than that of fully matched DLA pairs in both
sets (P<0.001). The allogeneic transplantation results suggested that
it is possible to prolong transplant engraftment by completely matching the DLA genotype
between the donor and recipient. Additionally, the MLR assay may be used as a simplified
in vitro method to select donors.

The canine MHC class Ia allele DLA-88*508:01 presents diverse self- and canine distemper virus-origin peptides of varying length that have a conserved binding motif. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 2018; 197:76-86.

Abstract
Ideally, CD8+ T-cell responses against virally infected or malignant cells are defined at the level of the specific peptide and restricting MHC class I element, a determination not yet made in the dog. To advance the discovery of canine CTL epitopes, we sought to determine whether a putative classical MHC class Ia gene, Dog Leukocyte Antigen (DLA)-88, presents peptides from a viral pathogen, canine distemper virus (CDV). To investigate this possibility, DLA-88*508:01, an allele prevalent in Golden Retrievers, was expressed as a FLAG-tagged construct in canine histiocytic cells to allow affinity purification of peptide-DLA-88 complexes and subsequent elution of bound peptides. Pattern analysis of self peptide sequences, which were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), permitted binding preferences to be inferred. DLA-88*508:01 binds peptides that are 9-to-12 amino acids in length, with a modest preference for 9- and 11-mers. Hydrophobic residues are favored at positions 2 and 3, as are K, R or F residues at the C-terminus. Testing motif-matched and -unmatched synthetic peptides via peptide-MHC surface stabilization assay using a DLA-88*508:01-transfected, TAP-deficient RMA-S line supported these conclusions. With CDV infection, 22 viral peptides ranging from 9-to-12 residues in length were identified in DLA-88*508:01 eluates by LC-MS/MS. Combined motif analysis and surface stabilization assay data suggested that 11 of these 22 peptides, derived from CDV hemagglutinin, large polymerase, matrix, nucleocapsid, and V proteins, were processed and presented, and thus, potential targets of anti-viral CTL in DLA-88*508:01-bearing dogs. The presentation of diverse self and viral peptides indicates that DLA-88 is a classical MHC class Ia gene.

Abstract
Male patients with female-stem-cell donors have better prognosis compared to female-to-male combinations due to Y-encoded minor histocompatibility antigens recognized by female-alloimmune-effector lymphocytes in the context of a graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. We provide data in a dog-model that the minor histocompatibility antigen UTY might be a promising target to further improve GvL-immune reactions after allogeneic-stem-cell transplantations. Female-canine-UTY-specific T cells (CTLs) were stimulated in vitro using autologous-DCs loaded with three HLA-A2-restricted-UTY-derived peptides (3-fold-expansion), and specific T cell responses were determined in 3/6 female dogs. CTLs specifically recognized/lysed autologous-female-peptide-loaded DCs, but not naïve-autologous-female DCs and monocytes. They mainly recognized bone-marrow (BM) and to a lower extent DCs, monocytes, PBMCs and B-cells from DLA-identical-male littermates and peptide-loaded T2-cells in an MHC-I-restricted manner. A UTY-/male-specific reactivity was also obtained in vivo after stimulation of a female dog with DLA-identical-male PBMCs. In summary, we demonstrated natural UTY processing and presentation in dogs. We showed that female-dog CTLs were specifically stimulated by HLA-A2-restricted-UTY peptides, thereby enabling recognition of DLA-identical-male cells, mainly BM cells. These observations suggest UTY as a promising candidate-antigen to improve GvL-reactions in the course of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical stem cell transplantation is an opportunity for nearly all patients lacking an HLA matched stem cell donor. However, graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) as well as infectious complications still result in high treatment-related mortality. Here, we used the dog as a preclinical model for the study of tolerance induction with the aim to optimize and to improve a clinical protocol of haploidentical stem cell transplantation. For this purpose CD6-depleted peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) were transfused 6d after transplantation of unmodified bone marrow from dog leukocyte antigen (DLA)-haploidentical littermate donors in order to induce immune tolerance. Besides hematopoietic stem cells CD6-depleted PBSC contain, NK cells and a minority of suppressive CD8-positive cells that may suppress activated T lymphocytes. Recipients were conditioned with, cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) preceded by a transfusion of donor buffy coat and either 1, 2 or 3 × 3.3 Gy total body irradiation (TBI). Postgrafting immunosuppression was limited to 30 d of cyclosporine and methotrexate. The additional administration of CD6-depleted PBSCs after unmodified marrow could not prevent GvHD, but it may improve engraftment and chimerism after conditioning with 2 × 3.3 Gy TBI. Reasons for incomplete suppression and possible improvements for clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults and carries a dismal prognosis. We have developed a conditional cytotoxic/immunotherapeutic approach using adenoviral vectors (Ads) encoding the immunostimulatory cytokine, human soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (hsFlt3L) and the conditional cytotoxic molecule, i.e., Herpes Simplex Type 1- thymide kinase (TK). This therapy triggers an anti-tumor immune response that leads to tumor regression and anti-tumor immunological memory in intracranial rodent cancer models. We aim to test the efficacy of this immunotherapy in dogs bearing spontaneous GBM. In view of the controversy regarding the effect of human cytokines on dog immune cells, and considering that the efficacy of this treatment depends on hsFlt3L-stimulated dendritic cells (DCs), in the present work we tested the ability of Ad-encoded hsFlt3L to generate DCs from dog peripheral blood and compared its effects with canine IL-4 and GM-CSF. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Our results demonstrate that hsFlT3L expressed form an Ad vector, generated DCs from peripheral blood cultures with very similar morphological and phenotypic characteristics to canine IL-4 and GM-CSF-cultured DCs. These include phagocytic activity and expression of CD11c, MHCII, CD80 and CD14. Maturation of DCs cultured under both conditions resulted in increased secretion of IL-6, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. Importantly, hsFlt3L-derived antigen presenting cells showed allostimulatory potential highlighting their ability to present antigen to T cells and elicit their proliferation. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE These results demonstrate that hsFlt3L induces the proliferation of canine DCs and support its use in upcoming clinical trials for canine GBM. Our data further support the translation of hsFlt3L to be used for dendritic cells' vaccination and gene therapeutic approaches from rodent models to canine patients and its future implementation in human clinical trials.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) represent a heterogeneous cell family of major importance for innate immune responses against pathogens and antigen presentation during infection, cancer, allergy and autoimmunity. The aim of the present study was to characterize canine DC generated in vitro with respect to their phenotype, responsiveness to toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and T-cell stimulatory capacity. DC were derived from monocytes (MoDC) and from bone marrow hematopoietic cells cultured with either Flt3-ligand (FL-BMDC) or with GM-CSF (GM-BMDC). All three methods generated cells with typical DC morphology that expressed CD1c, CD11c and CD14, similar to macrophages. However, CD40 was only found on DC, CD206 on MΦ and BMDC, but not on monocytes and MoDC. CD1c was not found on monocytes but on all in vitro differentiated cells. FL-BMDC and GM-BMDC were partially positive for CD4 and CD8. CD45RA was expressed on a subset of FL-BMDC but not on MoDC and GM-BMDC. MoDC and FL-DC responded well to TLR ligands including poly-IC (TLR2), Pam3Cys (TLR3), LPS (TLR4) and imiquimod (TLR7) by up-regulating MHC II and CD86. The generated DC and MΦ showed a stimulatory capacity for lymphocytes, which increased upon maturation with LPS. Taken together, our results are the basis for further characterization of canine DC subsets with respect to their role in inflammation and immune responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the impact of pathogens on the evolution of the mammalian immune system is still under debate, proteins, which both regulate immune responses and serve as cellular receptors for pathogens should be at the forefront of pathogen-driven host evolution. The CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) gene family codes for such proteins and indeed shows tremendous species-specific variation between human and rodents. Since little is known about the CEA gene family in other lineages of placental mammals, we expected to gain new insights into the evolution of the rapidly diverging CEA family by analyzing the CEA family of the dog. RESULTS Here we describe the complete CEA gene family in the dog. We found that the gene coding for the ITIM-bearing immunoregulatory molecule CEACAM1 gave rise to a recent expansion of the canine CEA gene family by gene duplication, similar to that previously found in humans and mice. However, while the murine and human CEACAMs (carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules) are predominantly secreted and GPI-anchored, respectively, in the dog, most of the CEACAMs represent ITAM-bearing transmembrane proteins. One of these proteins, CEACAM28, exhibits nearly complete sequence identity with the ligand-binding N domain of CEACAM1, but antagonizing signaling motifs in the cytoplasmic tail. Comparison of nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions indicates that the CEACAM28 N domain is under the strongest purifying selection of all canine CEACAM1-related CEACAMs. In addition, CEACAM28 shows a similar expression pattern in resting immune cells and tissues as CEACAM1. However, upon activation CEACAM28 mRNA and CEACAM1 mRNA are differentially regulated. CONCLUSION Thus, CEACAM1 and CEACAM28 are the first paired immune receptors identified within the CEA gene family, which are expressed on T cells and are most likely involved in the fine-tuning of T cell responses. The direction of gene conversion accompanied by purifying selection and expression in immune cells suggests the possibility that CEACAM28 evolved in response to selective pressure imposed by species-specific pathogens.

Abstract
In response to exogenous as well as endogenous signals, dendritic cells (DC) undergo programmed maturation to become efficient, antigen-presenting cells and mediate innate and adaptive immune responses. Very little is known, however, about the differential maturation responses of canine DC to endogenous and exogenous stimuli, especially the concomitant events related to the specific expression of cytokine genes. Canine monocyte-derived immature DC (iDC) were treated with an exogenous signal, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or an endogenous signal, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), to generate mature DC (mDC). The mDC generated from either stimuli were characterized by significant increases in the expression of surface molecules, including CD11c, MHC class II, CD80, CD83, and CD86. Using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions, the cytokine expression profiles generated by these two stimuli were studied. Compared with the iDC, the LPS-stimulated mDC exhibited a significantly increased expression of IL-1 beta, IL-10, IL-12p40, IL-13, and TNF-alpha. Using the mixed lymphocyte reaction and cytokine intracellular staining, it was shown that the array of cytokines from LPS-generated mDC contributed to T cell priming and T helper cell type 1 (Th1) polarization. TNF-alpha-generated mDC increased the expression of a distinctly different panel of cytokines, namely IL-2, IL-4, IL-12p40, IL-13, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, IFN-gamma, and MCP-2, and shifted naïve T cell differentiation to T helper cell type 2 (Th2) polarization. IL-13 expression was dramatically increased in canine TNF-alpha-generated mDC, which does not occur in other mammalian species, including humans. Because IL-13 is functionally similar to IL-4, IL-13 may contribute to the observed Th2 polarization. Thus, canine DC maturing from different stimuli release different cytokine profiles that in turn promote different immune responses and activate innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs), which differentiate in vitro from peripheral blood monocytes (PBMOs) or bone marrow precursors, are a promising candidate for immunotherapy against cancer. The dog, which suffers common types of cancers along with humans, make an ideal large animal model for cancer studies. Monocyte-derived DCs in the dog have not been well characterized, however, since the appropriate condition for in vitro differentiation has not been established. To tackle this problem, we have developed a conditioned media by culturing T cells with immobilized anti-canine CD3 antibody, and sought to induce differentiation of DCs from PBMOs. When purified CD14+ PBMOs were cultured in the presence of 25% T cell conditioned medium (TCCM), the PBMOs increased size and had extended dendritic processes by day 12 of the culture. The cultured PBMOs were found to increase the expression of MHC class II and CD1a molecules, and significantly increased stimulatory activity for allogeneic T cells in the mixed leukocyte reaction. Moreover, the cells significantly increased their expression of IL-18 and IFN-gamma when stimulated with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly (I:C)). The cells have a reduced phagocytic activity, which is a common defect in mature DCs. It follows from these results that TCCM does induce the differentiation of DCs from PBMOs.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that reside in many tissues, including the skin. This study showed that intradermal injection of leishmanin in Leishmania infantum-infected dogs induced the "up-regulation" of surface MHCII expression, associated with progressive ultrastrucutural changes characteristic of DC maturation, including the formation of multilaminar MHC class II-containing compartments and arrays of tubulo-vesicular structures. These changes were not observed in control dogs from L. infantum non-endemic areas. The results indicated that canine DCs were effector cells in delayed-type hypersensitivity, that the leishmanin reaction was specific for a cell-mediated reaction to L. infantum in infected dogs, and that canine DCs possessed ultrastructural organelles reminiscent of those in activated human DCs.

Abstract
The polymorphic minor histocompatibility antigen HA-1 induces powerful T-cell alloreactivities with important consequences for graft-vs-tumor activity and development of graft-vs-host disease in patients after human leukocyte antigen-matched stem-cell transplantation (SCT). In view of possible translational animal studies, we analyzed the evolutionary conservation of the diallelic HA-1 locus in four mammalian species. Our results show that rodents do not encode the HA-1(H) allele, neither show polymorphism in this position on the HA-1 gene. Contrariwise, the HA-1(H) allele is present in non-human primate species and dogs. Interestingly, both the HA-1(H) T-cell epitope and its non-immunogenic counterpart HA-1(R) are present in the latter species. Thus, the HA-1 allelic polymorphism is conserved in evolution in primates and dogs.

Abstract
The dog is an important animal model for solid organ as well as stem cell allo transplantation. Methods such as cellular and serological typing and more recently sequence-based typing (SBT) have been used to discriminate tissue antigen disparity of donor and recipient. We applied SBT for the canine class I (DLA-88) and class II (DLA-DRB1) genes in beagle families prior stem cell transplantation. A novel DLA-88 (DLA-88*04501) allele in combination with a DLA-DRB1*01901 allele was found. Sequence comparison of exons 2 and 3 of the novel allele revealed most sequence identity to the DLA-88*01301 allele (96.15% identity at the nucleotide and 90.65% identity at the protein level).

Abstract
Because of their unsurpassed potency in presenting antigens to naive T cells, dendritic cells are considered to be an important candidate in the development of immunotherapeutic strategies. Despite the high potential of dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, as a so-called dendritic cell vaccination, few clinical approaches using dendritic cell vaccination have been performed in the dog because of very limited information regarding the generation of canine dendritic cells and their functional properties. We therefore established a protocol for the efficient generation of dendritic cells from canine bone marrow cells using recombinant feline granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and canine interleukin-4. Dendritic cells were generated efficiently: a yield of 1-9 x 10(6) cells per approximately 0.5 ml of canine bone marrow aspiration was achieved. These dendritic cells showed features shared with mouse and human dendritic cells: dendrite morphology, expression of surface markers MHC class II and CD11c, and up-regulation of molecules related to antigen presentation (MHC class II, B7-1, and B7-2) by activation with lipopolysaccharide. Moreover, the dendritic cells demonstrated phagocytic activity, processing activity of pinocytosed proteins, and activation of allogeneic T cells far more potent than that by macrophages. Our findings suggest that the bone marrow-derived dendritic cells are functional for the capturing and processing of antigens and the initiation of T cell responses.

Abstract
In this study, canine monocyte-derived dendritic cells (cMo-DC) were produced in presence of canine GM-CSF (cGM-CSF) and canine IL-4 (cIL-4), and they were characterized by their dendritic morphology, MLR functionality and phenotype. We noticed that cMo-DC were labelled with three anti-human CD86 (FUN-1, BU63 and IT2.2 clones), whereas resting and activated lymphocytes or monocytes were not stained. CD86 expression was induced by cIL-4 and was up-regulated during the differentiation of the cMo-DC, with a maximum at day 7. Furthermore, cMo-DC were very potent even in low numbers as stimulator cells in allogeneic MLR, and BU63 mAb was able to completely block the cMo-DC-induced proliferation in MLR. We also observed that cMo-DC highly expressed MHC Class II and CD32, but we failed to determine their maturation state since the lack of commercially available canine markers. Moreover, cMo-DC contained cytoplasmic periodic microstructures, potentially new ultrastructural markers of canine DC recently described. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that the CD86 costimulatory marker is now usable for a better characterization of in vitro canine DC.

Abstract
Peripheral destruction of sickled erythrocytes is a cardinal feature of sickle cell disease (SCD). Less well established is the potential contribution of ineffective erythropoiesis to the pathophysiology of this hemoglobinopathy. Since patients with SCD frequently develop mixed hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation, we used this opportunity to directly compare the differentiation and survival of SCD and donor-derived erythropoiesis in vivo. Donor and recipient erythropoiesis was compared in 4 patients with SCD and 4 without SCD who developed stable mixed hematopoietic chimerism following transplant. Molecular analysis of chimerism in peripheral blood and bone marrow demonstrated higher expression of donor-derived beta-globin RNA relative to the level of donor-derived genomic DNA in patients with SCD. Analysis of chimerism in immature (glycophorin A-positive [GYPA(+)], CD71(hi)) and mature (GYPA(+), CD71(neg)) erythroblasts confirmed the intramedullary loss of SS erythroblasts with progressive maturation. In patients with SCD, relative enrichment of donor erythroid precursors began to appear at the onset of hemoglobinization. Ineffective erythropoiesis of homozygous hemoglobin S (SS) progenitors thus provides a maturation advantage for homozygous hemoglobin A (AA) or heterozygous hemoglobin S/hemoglobin A (SA) donor erythroid precursor cells that results in greater donor contribution to overall erythropoiesis following stem-cell transplantation and improvement of clinical disease.

Abstract
The comprehension of the immune system and the role of DC in the pathological diseases may contribute to their use in veterinary medicine in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Currently, most dendritic cell (DC) research occurs in the human and murine model systems on the generation of cells from the bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultured in vitro. Despite the lack of available immunological reagents such as antibodies and cytokines, analogous cells have been generated and identified in many different species and reviewed in this study.

Abstract
For physiological and practical reasons the dog is a large animal model used increasingly to study the pathogenesis of human diseases and new therapeutic approaches, in particular for immune disorders. However, some immunological resources are lacking in this model, especially concerning dendritic cells. The aim of our study was to develop an efficient method to generate dendritic cells (DC) in vitro from dog peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to characterize their functional, structural and ultrastructural properties. PBMC were cultured in vitro with IL-4 and GM-CSF. After 1 week of culture, a great proportion of non-adherent cells displayed typical cytoplasmic processes, as evidenced both by optical and electron microscopy. Cytometric analysis revealed the presence of 41.7+/-24.6% CD14+ cells expressing both CD11c and MHC class II molecules. Allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions confirmed the ability of these cultures to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes as already reported as a characteristic of DC in other species. In addition, we describe for the first time the presence in canine DC of cytoplasmic periodic microstructures (PMS) that could represent ultrastructural markers of canine DC. In conclusion, our study provides an easy method to generate DC from PBMC in sufficient numbers for immunological in vitro investigations in dogs, a pre-clinical model for many human diseases.
