乙型肝炎表面抗原不同突变体对细胞免疫的影响

目的　研究乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)不同突变体对细胞免疫的影响。方法　将野生型和变异型HBsAg基因重组质粒NS2 Swt、NS2 S12 6、NS2 S133、NS2 S14 1、NS2 S14 5分别转染CHO细胞,72h收获细胞上清。采用ELISA法检测各组细胞上清preS2 蛋白的表达量。将这些细胞上清刺激PHA活化的人淋巴细胞,MTS法检测不同变异株抗原对淋巴细胞增殖活性以及淋巴细胞分泌IFN γ、IL 10和IL 2的影响。结果　变异和野毒株(wt)各组细胞上清preS2 蛋白的表达量基本一致。变异和wt重组HBsAg刺激T细胞后,其上清MTS显色后的A4 90 值均高于空白组和pCI neo组,说明HBsAg中的蛋白可以促进T细胞增殖;T12 6S氨基酸变异HBsAg能够刺激IFN γ分泌增加;M133T氨基酸变异刺激IL 10分泌增加。结论　这4种乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)变异株感染人体后,机体对它们的细胞免疫反应可能不会有明显的增强或减弱,但也不能忽视T12 6S和M133T变异抗原改变了某些细胞因子的表达,可能对机体细胞免疫造成的潜在影响。

Influence of the mutants of hepatitis B surface antigen on the cell immunity

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of the mutants of hepatitis B surface antigen on the cell immunity. METHODS: The recombinant plasmids of NS2Swt, NS2S126, NS2S133, NS2S141 and NS2S145 were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the expressed proteins were detected by means of ELISA. Following PHA-activated lymphoblasts proliferation assay and IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-10 induction assay were done with these proteins. RESULTS: It was identified that these proteins of HBsAg could stimulate human lymphoblasts proliferation. Besides, there were no significant difference between the mutants and the wild. It was deserved to point out that the HBsAg with T126S mutation could increase the expression of IFN-gamma in the culture medium while the HBsAg with M133T mutation induced more expression of IL-10. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that the cellular immune response to mutants of HBV might not be strengthened or weakened. But it should not be ignored that HBV T126S or M133T mutation may assert a potential impact on the cell immunity.
