Lineage negative dendritic cells, or natural interferon-producing cells (NIPC), also referred to as plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) constitute a small population of leukocytes secreting high levels of type I interferon (IFN alpha/beta) in response to certain danger signals. Here, we provide initial data towards the identification of so far uncharacterised circulating bovine pDC like cells. A lineage negative cell population (LIN- cells) was isolated from PBMC which showed characteristics similar to that of pDC in other species. Isolated LIN- cells presented lymphoid morphology with a semi-crescent nucleus, extensive ER and Golgi network; indicative of pDC. In addition phenotypic analysis of LIN- cells described them as distinct from other bovine DC subsets; expressing both lymphoid and myeloid surface markers. LIN- cells did not express lineage specific markers, but were MHC class II+, CD45RO(+), CD80/86(+), CD6(+), WC1(+), CD26(+) and expressed the myeloid markers CD205, CD172a and CD11a. In keeping with pDC, LIN- cells express TLR7 mRNA transcripts; however, in a resting state do not express TLR8 or TLR9. Functionally, LIN- cells, but not PBMC, monocytes and monocyte derived DC produce large amounts of IFN alpha/beta in response to different CpG oligonucleotides. Taken together, we present data suggesting that an enriched circulating population of bovine LIN- cells are uniquely capable of producing IFN alpha/beta in response to CpG oligonucleotides and thus this population likely contain the functional equivalent of bovine pDC.
