The bursa of Fabricius is central immune organ unique to birds, and the extract is immunocompetent in stimulating B cell differentiation and enhancing antibody production. However, except for bursin, the active peptides from the bursa of Fabricius are little reported. In the paper, a novel bursal septpeptide (BSP-II) with the amino acids sequence of TPSGLVY was identified and similar to the MGC53864 protein of Gallus gallus. We investigated the effects of BSP-II on the immune response in terms of the antibodies titers (IgG1 and IgG2 alpha), the levels of interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 cytokines, spleen cell lymphocyte proliferation, and the T-lymphocyte subtype composition. It was noteworthy that BSP-II potentiates the Th1 and Th2-type immune responses in dose-dependent manner. BSP-II had specific enhancing effects on the hybridoma SP2/0 cell proliferation at two different serum concentrations (20% and 5%), but had no connection with the dose of BSP-II. The antibody secreting level of hybridoma SP2/0 cells rose in 5% and 20% serum when the concentrations of BSP-II increased. Also, BSP-II had effect on the viabilities of tumor cells (Hela and SP2/0). All the results indicated that BSP-II was able to significantly induce various immune responses and involved in the cell viability of different tumor cell lines. Our observations implied that BSP-II might be a novel biological active factor from the bursa of Fabricius with immunomodulatory activities. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.
