Abstract:

The aim of the experiment was to clarify the role of the capsular polysaccharide in anti-porcine alveolar macrophage phagocytosis of Haemophilus parasuis.The anti-phagocytosis test was conducted by using indirect immunofluorescence method and flow cytometry with H.parasuis SC096 wild-type strain,and capsular deficient strain.The results showed that the H.parasuis SC096 wild-type strains were observed mainly outside the macrophages,while capsular polysaccharide-deficient were observed in macrophages by indirect immunofluorescence experiments.Flow cytometry results showed that the total macrophage phagocytosis rate was 12.51% and swallowed efficiency was 89.61% in the wild-type strain group;the total macrophage phagocytosis rate was 27.18% and swallowed efficiency was 91.06% in the capsular polysaccharide-deficient group.By adding exogenous capsular polysaccharide,total macrophage phagocytosis rate was reduced to 2.72%,swallowed efficiency was reduced to 32.72% in the wild-type strain group;the total macrophage phagocytosis rate dropped to 3.59%,swallowed efficiency was nearly unchanged at 91.36% in the capsular polysaccharide-deficient group.The ability of anti-macrophage phagocytosis of H.parasuis was reduced through removing capsular polysaccharide,which demonstrated that capsular polysaccharide may inhibit the ability of macrophage phagocytosis.
