PG - 242-51 AB - The early cellular innate immune responses of the teleost gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) against whole yeast cells were studied. Fish received a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and leukocyte mobilization, degranulation, peroxidase content, respiratory burst, phagocytic and cytotoxic activities were assayed in both head-kidney leukocytes (HKLs) and peritoneal exudate leukocytes (PELs). The total number of PELs significantly increased from 4 h post-injection until the end of the experiment (3 days). Interestingly, flow cytometric analysis revealed variations in the proportion of cell-types in the PE. Thus, PE acidophilic granulocytes increased to a significant extent 4 h post-injection and were restored thereafter. Moreover, PE monocyte-macrophages started to increase from 24 h, the enhancement being statistically significant after 48 and 72 h. Degranulation was greater in PELs throughout the assay. The peroxidase content of the leukocytes was affected differently in HKLs and PELs. The respiratory burst activity was not affected in HKLs but significantly increased in PELs from 4 to 48 h post-injection with yeast cells. On the other hand, HKL phagocytosis had decreased 72 h post-injection with yeast cells while it increased after 4 and 24 h post-injection in the PELs. Conversely, the cytotoxic activity was significantly enhanced in HKLs from 24 to 72 h post-injection but slightly decreased in PELs. Finally, our data demonstrate that seabream injected with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae show leukocyte mobilization and cellular innate immune response activation at the site of invasion and also in the head-kidney. The implications of the leukocyte-types and the immune responses observed, as well as analogies with other particulated antigens, will be discussed as possible models for investigating the effect of potential pathogens.
