Landscape and age dynamics of immune cells in the Egyptian rousette bat
2022, Cell ReportsCitation Excerpt :Studies on the morphology of bat lymphocytes date back to the late 1980s, describing lymphocyte-like cells in Pteropus giganteus (Chakravarty and Paul, 1987). More recent investigations focusing on P. alecto lymphocytes provided the first evidence for a delayed response upon mitogenic stimulation compared with mice (Chakravarty and Sarkar, 1994; Martinez Gomez et al., 2016; Sarkar and Chakravarty, 1991). We employed various mitogens and proliferation assays and observed that T and B cell proliferative responses are largely similar in adult and juvenile ERB, and comparable with adult individuals of other bat species (Martinez Gomez et al., 2016).

Revising the paradigm: Are bats really pathogen reservoirs or do they possess an efficient immune system?
2022, iScienceCitation Excerpt :Most early research focused on isolating the basic immune components of the innate and acquired bat immune system and comparing them with what was already known in mice and humans. Some of the main findings are as follows: Cells resembling follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) were described in Pteropus giganteus (Sarkar and Chakravarty, 1991) and macrophages, B cells, and T cells were identified in the spleen and lymph nodes of the Indian fruit bat. The complement cascade was found in Tadarida brasiliensis bats (Allen et al., 2009).

Identification of secreted and membrane-bound bat immunoglobulin using a Microchiropteran-specific mouse monoclonal antibody
2016, Developmental and Comparative ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Aside from flow cytometry, we localized B cells in situ. While lymphocytes have been identified in the spleen using electron microscopy and in inflamed tissue sites by histochemistry (Sarkar and Chakravarty, 1991), we believe that ours is the first demonstration of B cell organization in tissues using specific immunostaining. We have used mice for comparison in several of our experiments, although reports have shown that bats and mice are not closely related.
