Resposta de linfonodos de bovinos mestiços inoculados a campo com a vacina recombinante rSBm7462 anti Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus / LYMPH NODES RESPONSE OF CROSSBRED CATTLE INOCULATED AT FIELD WITH A RECOMBINANT VACCINE rSBm7462 AGAINST Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Nowadays, the chemical control for this parasite is affected by the resistance development to several commercial acaricides, which has been reported in many countries. Furthermore, the concerns generated by chemical remains in animal products and the environment makes from this control a problem of high level importance for the public health. Thus, the immunological control becomes a promising alternative because the easy administration, low costs and its contributions to the food security. The objective of this study was to evaluate the lymph nodes response of cattle immunized at field with the peptide rSBm7462 anti Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Fourteen crossbred cattle (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) with degree of blood holstein-zebu and aged 4-10 months were used. The animals were maintained on two farms in the north of Minas Gerais and received three immunizations with the peptide rSBm7462 applied subcutaneously at 30-day intervals. Pre-scapular lymph nodes were collected surgically 15 days after each immunization and fixed in formalin for 18 hours, then they were embedded in paraffin subsequently. Lymph node samples were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) for cellular events observation. On the other hand, in order to antigens identifying in immunized animals lymph nodes, the immunohistochemistry (IHC) with peroxidase-anti peroxidase (PAP) method was performed. Lymph node response of cattle inoculated was evaluated by analysis of germinal centers (GC) formation, medullary cords hyperplasia (MC) and antigen rSBm7462 presence in PAP+ cells. This study shows that the recombinant peptide rSBm7462 induces a T-dependent adaptive immune response on lymphoid tissues characterized by the affinity and immunological memory in the secondary lymphoid tissues structure formation. / O carrapato Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus é responsável por perdas econômicas significativas nos países das regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Atualmente, o controle químico para este parasito é afetado pela geração de resistência aos diversos acaricidas comerciais, ato que tem sido reportado em vários países do mundo. Além disso, a preocupação com os resíduos químicos nos produtos de origem animal e no ambiente é um problema de saúde pública. Portanto, o controle imunológico torna-se uma alternativa promissora devido à sua fácil administração, ser economicamente viável e contribuir na segurança alimentar. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resposta de linfonodos de bovinos imunizados a campo com o peptídeo rSBm7462 anti Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Foram utilizados 14 bovinos mestiços (Bos taurus x Bos indicus), com grau de sangue variado holandês-zebu, com idades entre 4-10 meses, mantidos em duas propriedades rurais do norte de Minas Gerais. Os animais receberam três imunizações do peptídeo rSBm7462, aplicados por via subcutânea, com intervalo de 30 dias. Após 15 dias de cada imunização, os linfonodos pré-escapulares foram coletados cirurgicamente e fixados por 18 horas em formol. Posteriormente foram incluídos em parafina. As amostras dos linfonodos foram coradas pela técnica hematoxilina-eosina (HE) para a observação de eventos celulares. Para a identificação do antígeno nos linfonodos dos animais imunizados, foi realizada a técnica de imunoistoquimica (IHQ) com o método peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP). A resposta de linfonodos dos bovinos inoculados foi avaliada pelas análises de formação de centros germinais (CG), hiperplasia de cordões medulares (CM) e a presença do antígeno rSBm7462 em células PAP+, demostrando que o peptídeo recombinante rSBm7462 induz uma resposta imune adaptativa T-dependente, caracterizada nos tecidos linfóides secundários pela formação de estruturas que conferem afinidade e memória imunológica.
