Lymphocyte subsets after M. haemofelis exposure in the ten SPF cats. The five cats in group A had undergone previous “Cand. M. turicensis” infection and the five cats in group B were naïve control cats. The M. haemofelis exposure took place on day 0. A) T cells (CD5+ MHCII+) counts, B) CD4+ T cell counts, C) CD8+ T cell counts, D) CD4+/CD8+ ratio, E) CD4+CD25+ activated T cells counts and F) B cell (CD45R/B220+) counts. No significant differences between groups A and B were observed on day 0; significant differences between the two groups observed thereafter are indicated with an asterisk (pMWU <0.05). Significant differences over time (pF<0.05 and pD<0.05) and the corresponding significantly decreased or increased values are indicated with an arrow (black solid for group A and gray open for group B). In detail, increased T cell counts were observed in group A on days 2, 6 and 62 compared with day 83 and in group B on day 9 and 20 compared with day 83 (A). Decreased CD8+ T lymphocyte counts were observed in group A on day 20 compared with days 57 and 83 (C). In the CD4+/CD8+ ratio, in group A, significantly lower values were observed on day 48 compared to days 0 and 41, whereas in group B, higher counts were observed on day 0 compared to days 9 and 83 and on and 41 compared to day 9 (D). CD4+CD25+ cell counts varied significantly over time in cats in group B, with lower values on days 2, 9 and 27 compared with day 6 (E). B cells varied significantly over time in cats in group A, with transiently decreased values on days 20, 27, 34 and 41 compared with days 9, 62, 76 and 83 (F). No values were available for CD4+CD25+ on day 83.

FITC conjugated Mouse anti Feline CD4 antibody, clone vpg34 (MCA1346F) used to evaluate circulating CD4 expressing T lymphocyte prevelence in Feline immunodeficiency virus infected cat blood by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
Plasma viremia (a), proviral load in the PBMCs (b), and circulating CD4+ T lymphocyte percentages (c) of the study cats at the times indicated relative to the first FIV-MDC inoculum. CD4+ T cells were monitored by flow cytometry in peripheral blood by direct staining with anti-feline CD4-PE (clone vpg34, AbD Serotec, Raleigh, NC) for 30 min as previously described (8). Symbols represent individual animals. Arrows indicate the times of FIV-MDC inoculation.

Immunological alterations following FIV infection.
Cats in Group 1 were challenged with clonal GL8 (variant B32), cats in group 2 were challenged with the reconstituted quasispecies challenge (B14, B19, B28, B30, B31 and B32) and control cats remained unchallenged. Percentages of lymphocytes expressing (A) CD4 and (B) CD8 were measured by flow cytometry and are shown as group means +/− SE. (C) CD4:CD8 ratios were calculated from the percentage of CD4 and CD8 positive lymphocytes and are displayed as group means +/− SE. p-values for statistically significant differences between infected and control groups are shown (Student's t-test).

Mouse anti Feline CD4 antibody, clone vpg34 (MCA1346F) used to assess changes in CD4 expressing T lymphocytes in cat blood following Mycoplasma heamofelis infection, by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
CD4+ , CD8+ and CD5+ T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and activated CD4+ T lymphocytes during the course of Mhf infection. Mean (±SD) cell counts of the CD4+ (A), CD8+ (B) and CD5+ T lymphocytes (C), CD4+/CD8+ ratio (D), B lymphocytes (CD45R/B220+, E) and activated CD4+ T lymphocytes (CD4+CD25+, F) at day 0 and during the 100-day pi period in group A (black dots, solid line) and group B (open triangles, dashed line). Cats were subcutaneously inoculated with Mhf at day 0. The onset of bacteremia in group A and B (day 7 pi, both groups) is indicated with a triangle. Boxes represent the time of peak bacteremia in group A (grey box) and B (dotted box). Statistically significant differences between group A and B are indicated with asterisks (pMWU<0.05). A CD4+ T lymphocyte counts changed significantly over time in group A (pF = 0.0012, lower at day 21 pi compared with days 3, 70 and 98 pi, pD<0.05). B CD8+ T lymphocyte counts changed significantly over time in group A (pF = 0.0002; lower at day 21 pi compared with days 3, 70 and 98 pi, pD<0.05). C CD5+ T lymphocyte counts changed significant over time in group A (pF<0.0002, lower at day 21 pi compared with days 3, 70 and 98 pi, pD<0.05). D CD4+/CD8+ ratio changed significantly over time in group A (pF = 0.0002, lower at days 14 and 21 pi compared with day 0 and day 98 pi, pD<0.05). E B lymphocyte counts changed significantly over time in group A (pF = 0.0103, lower at day 21 pi compared with day 3 pi, pD<0.05). F Activated CD4+ T lymphocyte counts changed significantly over time in group A (pF<0.0001, higher at days 3, 14 and 21 pi when compared with days 42, 56, 70 and 98 pi, pD<0.05) and group B (pF = 0.0249, no significance in the post test).

Representative pseudocolor plots are shown. After exclusion of dead cells (A) and doublets (B), gating on lymphocytes and monocytes was performed according to their forward and side scattering (FSC/SSC)properties (C). (D) Among lymphocytes CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B cells (upper panel) were gated according to the appropriate Fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls (lower panel).
