Abstract
The occurrence of CD4 helper T cells has already been established for a number of teleost species, though, it has not been possible to analyze these responses at a cellular level due to a large lack of appropriate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In the present study, we produced a mAb against olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) CD4-1 lymphocyte to investigate the functional activity of the cells to improve our understanding of the T cell response in this species. This mAb is specifically able to detect CD4-1 lymphocytes in olive flounder proved by immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR analysis. In flow cytometry analysis, the number of CD4-1-positive lymphocytes was observed to gradually increase from 3 days post infection (dpi) and then reach peak at 7 dpi against two viruses challenge. As a conclusion, both the basic properties of CD4-1 T cells and its response to viral infections in olive flounder are very similar to the helper T cells in terrestrial animals.
