Neutralization Susceptibility of B Subtype Variant B' Primary HIV-1 Isolates

Susceptibility to autologous and heterologous neutralization of primary human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 isolates belonging to subtype B, to the B'-variant of subtype B or to subtype F from infected individuals residing in Rio de Janeiro was assayed. A lower infectivity of the B'- and F isolates when compared to the classical B-subtype HIV-1 isolates was observed. Comparisons of neutralization susceptibilities were carried out for 19 B-subtype, 11 B'-variant and two F-subtype HIV-1 isolates with plasma from autologous and heterologous samples. Frequency of autologous neutralization was slightly lower for B-subtype isolates in comparison to B'-variant isolates. Heterologous intra-subtype neutralization was significantly lower for B-subtype than for the B'-variant or the F-subtype isolates. While B-subtype isolates were neutralized by most anti-F-subtype plasma, F-subtype isolates, although most susceptible to F-subtype antibodies, were highly susceptible to neutralization by anti-B-subtype antibodies. Cross-neutralization for B'-variant and B-subtype isolates was not as extensive as observed for B- and F-subtype isolates. However, the results presented indicate a quite extensive cross-neutralization between Brazilian HIV-1 isolates.     

^60Coγ射线全身照射后大鼠空肠亮脑啡肽的变化

应用免疫细胞化学(ICC)和放射免疫分析(RIA)方法观察了大鼠4、25Gy~(60)Coγ射线照射后24,48和,72h空肠亮脑啡肽(L-ENK)样免疫反应性神经的分布和L-ENK含量的变化。结果:4Gy照射后24h以及25Gy照射后24,48和72h光镜下见空肠L-ENK样免疫反应性神经的分布密度稍有增加,4Gy照射后24h以及25Gy照射后24,48和72h空肠L-ENK含量分别为29.81±0.84pg/mg,34.96±4.38pg/mg,40.71±3.62pg/mg和38.93±2.31pg/mg,与正常对照组(18.26±1.95pg/mg)相比明显升高(P<9.01)。     

三磷酸肌醇在IL—2诱导的T细胞增殖分化中的信息传递作用

用不同浓度的IL-2刺激静息T淋巴细胞,其细胞内IP_3无明显改变,但ConA刺激则使IP_3增加45%。在IL-2依赖性T细胞,IL-2R表达率达83%,IL-2刺激时IP_3的变化依浓度不同而异,10u—50u/ml的IL-2使IP_3增高,以50u/ml最为显著,增加60%,但100u/ml IL-2及ConA不改变胞内IP_3的浓度。IL-2R封闭后的T淋巴细胞在IL-2刺激时IP_3的增加明显减弱。这些结果提示:IP_3作为细胞内的第二信使介导了IL-2诱导的T细胞的增殖反应,这种作用与IL-2的剂量及IL-2R表达有密切的关系。
