Results: The resulting recombinant proteins specifically reacted with commercial homogeneous monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) using ELISA and anti-His-tag mAbs using western blotting. Analysis of the proteins using LC-MS/MS revealed correspondence with the sequences of rCTLA-4 and rPD-L1 located in the Mascot database. rCTLA-4 and rPD-L1 proteins inhibited IFN-γ production in bovine PBMCs of activated SEB. When PBMCs from cows were cultured with activated SEB containing rCTLA-4 and rPD-L1, the mAbs increased IFN-γ production in PBMCs. The combined cultivation of mAbs and PBMCs from BLV+ cattle enhanced IFN-γ production in the cells.
