The in vitro [PBL] mitogenic responses of channel catfish peripheral blood leukocytes [PBL] to ConA [concanavalin A] and LPS [lipopolysaccharide] were differentially affected by both in vitro and in vivo temperatures. The magnitude of the response to LPS was relatively independent of both in vitro culture temperature and in vivo acclimation temperature. The magnitude of the response to ConA was suppressed at lower in vitro temperatures although this suppression could be reduced by lower in vivo acclimation temperatures. In vitro temperature-shift experiments indicated that channel catfish PBL could respond to ConA at a lower in vitro temperature if first stimulated with ConA at a higher in vitro temperature. The converse was not true in that channel catfish PBL did not respond at a higher in vitro temperature after an initial stimulation with ConA at a lower in vitro temperature. This latter failure to respond could not be attributed to the induction of a suppressor cell (or factor) by exposure to ConA at a lower temperature. The studies, when coupled with other available data on channel catfish PBL subpopulations, are interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that low temperature immunosuppression in fish may result from preferential inhibitory effects on T cells rather than B cells.
