[Method] Healthy 40-day-old Landrace piglets were infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and euthanized on the 34, 7rd, 14th, 21st and 35th d post inoculation (DPI). The porcine skin-derived dendritic cells (DCs) were collected to analyze the transcrip- tional levels of molecules (LMP7, UBP, MHC-I, calreticulin) associated with endogenous antigen processing and presentation by using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (real-time FQ-PCR). [Result] The results showed that the level of LMP7 mR- NAs was reduced significantly on the 3DPI (P〈0.05); the level of UBP mRNAs was consistently up-regulated, which increased significantly on the 21DPI and 35DPI (P〈 0.05); the level of MHC-I mRNAs was significantly down-regulated on the 7DPI (P〈 0.05); the level of calreticulin mRNAs was up-regulated slightly without significant dif- ference. [Conclusion] PCV2 can inhibit the endogenous antigen processing and presentation ability of porcine skin-derived DCs at early stages of infection.展开更多
