An attempt of the assessment of T-cells function in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcer has been undertaken. The studies involved 60 patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers and 47 individuals of the control group. Lymphocyte reactivity to different concentrations of concanavalin A and phytohemagglutinin has been assessed with leukocyte migration inhibition test. Lymphocyte T function has been examined also in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers in reference to the theophylline-dependent and theophylline-sensitive subpopulation of T-cells. Leukocyte migration index values after phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A did not differ significantly in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers and theophylline-sensitive T-cells. Differences have been noted in the migration inhibition deficits. This phenomenon has been least frequent in case of phytohemagglutinin in the control group (5.8%) and most frequent in patients with gastric ulcer (62%). Percentage of patients responding to higher concanavalin A concentration (40 micrograms/ml) with leukocyte migration inhibition has been the highest in patients with duodenal ulcer. This index value has been significantly lower (p < 0.05) only in patients with duodenal ulcer and increased number of theophylline-dependent lymphocytes T. Increased reactivity of T-cells to higher concanavalin A concentration in patients with duodenal ulcer with theophylline-dependent T-cells in peripheral blood probably indicates increased the suppressor lymphocytes activity. 相似文献

Aminooxypentane (AOP)-RANTES efficiently and specifically blocks entry of non-syncytium-inducing (NSI), CCR5-tropic (R5) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) into host cells. Inhibition appears to be mediated by increased intracellular retention of the CCR5 coreceptor- AOP-RANTES complex and/or competitive binding of AOP-RANTES with NSI R5 HIV-1 isolates for CCR5. Although AOP-RANTES and other beta-chemokine analogs are potent inhibitors, the extreme heterogeneity of the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (gp120 and gp41) and variable coreceptor usage may affect the susceptibility of variant HIV-1 strains to these drugs. Using the same peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with all isolates, we observed a significant variation in AOP-RANTES inhibition of 13 primary NSI R5 isolates; 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC(50)) ranged from 0.04 nM with HIV-1(A-92RW009) to 1.3 nM with HIV-1(B-BaL). Experiments performed on the same isolate (HIV-1(B-BaL)) with PBMC from different donors revealed no isolate-specific variation in AOP-RANTES IC(50) values but did show a considerable difference in virus replication efficiency. Exclusive entry via the CCR5 coreceptor by these NSI R5 isolates suggests that variable inhibition by AOP-RANTES is not due to alternative coreceptor usage but rather differential CCR5 binding. Analysis of the envelope V3 loop sequence linked a threonine or arginine at position 319 (numbering based on the HXB2 genome) with AOP-RANTES resistance. With the exception of one isolate, A319 was associated with increased sensitivity to AOP-RANTES inhibition. Distribution of AOP-RANTES IC(50) values with these isolates has promoted ongoing screens for new CCR5 agonists that show broad inhibition of HIV-1 variants. 相似文献

Background
Breeding for enhanced immune response (IR) has been suggested as a tool to improve inherent animal health. Dairy cows with superior antibody-mediated (AMIR) and cell-mediated immune responses (CMIR) have been demonstrated to have a lower occurrence of many diseases including mastitis. Adaptive immune response traits are heritable, and it is, therefore, possible to breed for improved IR, decreasing the occurrence of disease. The objective of this study was to perform genome-wide association studies to determine differences in genetic profiles among Holstein cows classified as High or Low for AMIR and CMIR. From a total of 680 cows with immune response phenotypes, 163 cows for AMIR (81 High and 82 Low) and 140 for CMIR (75 High and 65 Low) were selectively genotyped using the Illumina Bovine SNP50 BeadChip. Results were validated using an unrelated population of 164 Holstein bulls IR phenotyped for AMIR and 146 for CMIR.Results
A generalized quasi likelihood score method was used to determine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and chromosomal regions associated with immune response. After applying a 5% chromosomal false discovery rate, 186 SNPs were significantly associated with AMIR. The majority (93%) of significant markers were on chromosome 23, with a similar peak found in the bull population. For CMIR, 21 SNP markers remained significant. Candidate genes within 250,000 base pairs of significant SNPs were identified to determine biological pathways associated with AMIR and CMIR. Various pathways were identified, including the antigen processing and presentation pathway, important in host defense. Candidate genes included those within the bovine Major Histocompatability Complex such as BoLA-DQ, BoLA-DR and the non-classical BoLA-NC1 for AMIR and BoLA-DQ for CMIR, the complement system including C2 and C4 for AMIR and C1q for CMIR, and cytokines including IL-17A, IL17F for AMIR and IL-17RA for CMIR and tumor necrosis factor for both AMIR and CMIR. Additional genes associated with CMIR included galectins 1, 2 and 3, BCL2 and β-defensin.Conclusions
The significant genetic variation associated with AMIR and CMIR in this study may imply feasibility to include immune response in genomic breeding indices as an approach to improve inherent animal health. 相似文献4.
Lymphocyte egress from the vascular compartment into the lymph node (LN) parenchyma occurs at the postcapillary venules, termed high endothelial venules (HEVs). Lymphocyte adhesion and migration through the HEVs is a receptor-mediated, energy-dependent, process. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of MHC Class II antigen expression on lymphocyte-HEV interaction in normal (CBA) and autoimmune (MRL/l) mice. Using the HEV binding assay, lymphocyte adhesion to LN sections pretreated with monoclonal antibody (MAb; 10-2.16) was decreased compared to diluent (mean of the differences +/- standard deviation; xd +/- SD: 0.749 +/- 0.22, P less than 0.0075)- and myeloma immunoglobulin-pretreated controls (xd = 0.462 +/- 0.13, P less than 0.005). Similar inhibition of binding was found in MRL/l LN sections pretreated with MAb 10-2.16. Binding inhibition was concentration dependent, but total inhibition was never achieved. Several other anti-Ia MAb's were used, but failed to inhibit lymphocyte attachment. Lymphocyte binding to control sections treated with MAb's against MHC Class I antigen, plasminogen activator (PAM-3), anti-thrombin III (AT-IIIm), and MECA-325 antigen was not significantly different from diluent controls. LN cell suspensions pretreated with MAb 10-2.16 bound normally to LN sections. By contrast, MAb to lymphocyte homing receptor (MEL-14) inhibited lymphocyte adhesion. The role of Class II antigens in lymphocyte-HEV interactions is discussed. 相似文献

An enzyme treated preparation of saprophytic Mycobacterium phlei, referred as NSI, when administered intramuscularly has been found to protect the chicks against Rous Sarcoma Virus induced tumor. A protection level of 35.4%, 24.1% and 21.2% were observed when challenged on 10th, 20th and 30th day post NSI inoculation. The tumor growth inhibitory-activity of NSI was significant (P less than 0.01). Both, systemic and intralesional administration of NSI exhibited significant tumorostatic activity (P less than 0.05). NSI stimulated the cell mediated immune response to specific as well as to nonspecific Rous sarcoma antigen. These studies indicated the immunopreventive activity of NSI against Rous sarcoma tumor which had an immunogenic basis. 相似文献

A trypsinized preparation of Mycobacterium phlei, non specific stimulator of immunity (NSI), and Sheep Pox Virus (SPV) were inoculated in different groups of sheep to activate B-lymphocytes and induce SPV neutralizing substance(s). NSI sensitized sheep B-lymphocytes in the presence of NSI or lymphokine elaborated SPV neutralizing substance(s). The SPV sensitized B-lymphocytes also mediated such neutralizing substance(s). Healthy control sheep B-lymphocytes failed to show any appreciable amount of viral neutralizing substance. However, a significant virus neutralizing substance(s) was detected when healthy sheep B-lymphocytes were cultured in presence of NSI antigen along with lymphokines. 相似文献

Effect of methyl carbonate pesticide, carbonyl, was studied on macrophage functions, lymphocyte proliferation and delayed type hypersensitivity response. Sixteen adult chicken, vaccinated against Newcaslte disease, were procured and randomly divided in two experimental groups. Chicken of group I served as control, while group II birds were given carbaryl at 20 ppm (No observable effect level, NOEL) in feed for 3 months. To measure the functional activity of phagocytic cells, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction test was performed on peripheral blood leucocytes. Concanvalin A (Con-A) and lipopolysaccharide stimulated proliferation of T and B lymphocytes was assessed using MTT dye method. At the end of experiment, the phagocytic capacities of macrophages were significantly reduced in carbaryl treated group. Lymphocyte proliferation responses to Con-A and LPS were (23 and 28%, respectively lower) in chicken fed with carbaryl. Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin was reduced to 77% of control values indicating inhibition of cell mediated immune response. The present study suggested of immunosuppressive effect of (NOEL dose carbaryl) in chicken. 相似文献

A number of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) non-B-subtype products have been developed for present or future vaccine trials; in Thailand, several studies using subtype B and/or CRF01_AE vaccines have been conducted. To better characterize the biologic properties of these subtypes, 70 HIV-1 subtype B and E isolates were phenotyped as syncytium-inducing (SI) or non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) isolates and assessed for sensitivity to neutralizing antibody (NAb). A significantly higher number of NSI subtype E viruses were neutralization sensitive than SI subtype E viruses (P = 0.009), while no association between viral phenotype and sensitivity to NAb was observed for subtype B (P = 0.856), suggesting a difference in the neutralization patterns of subtypes B and E. Strikingly, concurrent CD4 T-cell numbers were significantly lower for subtype E-infected patients whose isolates were more resistant to NAb, both for the overall study group (P < 0.001) as well as for the 22 patients with NSI isolates (P = 0.013). Characterization of the evolution of biologic properties of both B and non-B HIV-1 subtypes will provide a clearer understanding of the repertoire of antibodies that must be elicited for a vaccine to be effective against all phenotypes and subtypes. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a key selective force shaping evolutionary trade-offs. One such trade-off involves investing in immunity versus combating oxidative stress. While there is broad evidence that mounting an immune response causes increased oxidative stress, the effect that increased oxidative stress during development has at a later stage on immune responsiveness remains little known. The production of melanin-based coloration in vertebrates is influenced by oxidative stress and by hormones, such as the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Oxidative stress could impair immunity, and this might be a cost associated with the production of melanin traits. α-MSH has immunomodulatory effects, with most evidence pointing towards an improvement of immunity (improved pro-inflammatory activity). Here, we investigated the effects of an oxidative challenge (exposure to a pro-oxidant compound, diquat) and of experimentally elevated α-MSH on the cell-mediated immune responses (CMIR) of growing young (1 month old) red-legged partridges Alectoris rufa in captivity. CMIR were assessed in response to primary and secondary challenges with phytohemagglutinin (PHA). We specifically tested whether an oxidative challenge during growth and development had a delayed effect (4 months after exposure) on immunity. We found that the diquat treatment did not affect primary CMIR, but significantly reduced secondary CMIR. Elevated α-MSH increased primary CMIR in males, but not in females. Our experimental results are consistent with a trade-off between investing in activities that generate oxidative stress (e.g., growth, reproduction, production of ornaments) versus investing in immunity, and shed new lights onto the inter-relationships between immunity, oxidative stress and the expression of melanin-based coloration in vertebrates, revealing a novel, delayed physiological cost that can contribute to ensuring honest signaling. 相似文献

Evolution of the HIV-1 V3 loop was monitored in 15 subjects over a period of 5 years at approximately 6-month intervals. Putative recombination was detected in many of the sequences. Evolutionary trees were estimated from the nonrecombinant viral sequences found in each individual. Selection and altered demographic regimes were detected with logit and other contingency analyses in a highly context-dependent fashion. Mutations leading to amino acid substitutions are subject to positive selection over a broad range of clinical conditions in the nonsyncytium-inducing (NSI) form, and the growth rates of the NSI strains and their level of genetic subdivision change little in going from a healthy immune system to a severely compromised immune system. In contrast, the SI form has a significant increase in growth rate as the immune system goes from healthy to compromised, particularly in those subjects who did not receive any antiviral drug therapy. This increase in SI growth rate results in a significant growth advantage of SI over NSI when the immune system is compromised. The SI strains also show more demographic subdivision when the immune system is healthy than when the immune system is compromised, and the SI form has greater demographic subdivision than NSI in subjects with healthy immune systems who also are not receiving antiviral drug therapy. Positive selection on amino-acid-changing mutations weakens and then intensifies again in the SI strains in going from healthy to compromised immune systems. These patterns are consistent with other studies that suggest that NSI strains inhibit replication of SI strains, that the V3 loop is more hidden from the immune system in the NSI form, that evolution in the V3 loop influences cell tropism and coreceptor usage, that substrate for replication of SI forms increases as the disease progresses, and that death of CD8 cells is influenced by the type of coreceptor usage typically found in SI but not in NSI strains. Finally, the transition between NSI and SI forms is associated with a burst of evolutionary change due to strong positive selection at sites other than those that define the NSI/SI phenotypes. 相似文献

That birds migrate in the reverse direction of the expected is a phenomenon of regular occurrence which has been observed at many sites. Here we use three different methods; tracking radar, radiotelemetry and ringing, to characterize the flights of these reverse migrants and investigate possible causes of reverse migration of nocturnally migrating passerines during autumn migration at Falsterbo peninsula, Sweden. Using these different methods we investigated both internal factors, such as age and fuel load, and external factors such as weather variables, competition and predation risk. Birds flying in the reverse direction were more likely to be lean and to be juveniles. Reverse migration was also more common with overcast skies and winds with north and east components. We did not find any effect of temperature, visibility, number of migrating sparrowhawks, or the total number of ringed birds at the site on the day of departure. We found that reverse migration is characterized by slower flight speeds (airspeed) at high altitudes and that it takes place later in the night than forward migration. 相似文献

AbstractMigration is a biologically distinct and unique phenomenon that enables the birds to migrate twice-a-year between the breeding and wintering grounds. These movements are known as spring and autumn migration, respectively. Depending on their inherent programming, the migratory birds may fly during day or night or both. Different environmental factors such as, temperature, food, predator pressure and physiological demands of energy storage and expenditure, contribute to the pattern of migrations, day or nighttime. Since, most of them are nighttime migrants they have to make dramatic changes in their physiology and behavior to transform them from being diurnal to predominantly nocturnal. These changes result in different life history stages (LHSs) such as migration, reproduction and molt, in their annual cycle, which are regulated by endogenous circadian and circannual clocks. As a result, the birds start preparing well in advance for the approaching LHS. The present review focuses on behavioral strategies of a nocturnal migrant and understanding of the possible physiological responses to ensure successful migration. 相似文献

Despite multiple, high-risk sexual exposures, some individuals remain uninfected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). CD4+ lymphocytes from these individuals are less susceptible to infection in vitro with some strains of HIV-1, suggesting that the phenotype of the virus may influence its ability to interact with certain CD4+ cells. In the present study, we examined the susceptibility of CD4+ T lymphocytes and macrophages from two exposed uninfected individuals (EU2 and EU3) to infection with a panel of biologically cloned isolates of HIV-1 having either a non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) or a syncytium-inducing (SI) phenotype. Our results indicate that CD4+ T lymphocytes from EU2 and EU3 are resistant to infection with NSI isolates of HIV-1 but are susceptible to infection with primary SI isolates. In addition, we found that macrophages from EU2 and EU3 are resistant to infection with both NSI and SI isolates. The latter finding was confirmed by using several uncloned NSI and SI isolates obtained from patients during acute HIV-1 infection. In further experiments, env clones encoding glycoproteins characteristic of NSI or SI viruses were used in single-cycle infectivity assays to evaluate infection of CD4+ lymphocytes and macrophages from EU2 and EU3. Consistent with our previous results, we found that macrophages from these individuals are resistant to infection with NSI and SI env-pseudotyped viruses, while CD4+ T lymphocytes are resistant to NSI, but not SI, pseudotyped viruses. Overall, our results demonstrate that CD4+ cells from two exposed uninfected individuals resist infection in vitro with primary, macrophage-tropic, NSI isolates of HIV-1, which is the predominant viral phenotype found following HIV-1 transmission. Furthermore, infection with NSI isolates was blocked in both CD4+ T lymphocytes and macrophages from these individuals, suggesting that there may be a common mechanism for resistance in both cell types. 相似文献

Appropriate timing of migratory behavior is critical for migrant species. For many temperate zone birds in the spring, lengthening photoperiod is the initial cue leading to morphological, physiological and behavior changes that are necessary for vernal migration and breeding. Strong evidence has emerged in recent years linking thyroid hormone signaling to the photoinduction of breeding in birds while more limited information suggest a potential role in the regulation of vernal migration in photoperiodic songbirds. Here we investigate the development and expression of the vernal migratory life history stage in captive Gambel's white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) in a hypothyroidic state, induced by chemical inhibition of thyroid hormone production. To explore possible variations in the effects of the two thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine and thyroxine, we subsequently performed a thyroid inhibition coupled with replacement therapy. We found that chemical inhibition of thyroid hormones resulted in complete abolishment of mass gain, fattening, and muscle hypertrophy associated with migratory preparation as well as resulting in failure to display nocturnal restlessness behavior. Replacement of thyroxine rescued all of these elements to near control levels while triiodothyronine replacement displayed partial or delayed rescue. Our findings support thyroid hormones as being necessary for the expression of changes in morphology and physiology associated with migration as well as migratory behavior itself. 相似文献

Leukocyte migration inhibition tests show that lymphocytes of Epstein-Barr virus-seropositive individuals recognize a Raji cell membrane antigen and a membrane protein encoded by Epstein-Barr virus in latently infected cells. Antiserum against the latter blocks the leukocyte migration inhibition triggered by both preparations, suggesting that the two antigens are associated with the same protein complex. 相似文献

This study was designed to examine the impact of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) fitness on disease progression through the use of a dual competition/heteroduplex tracking assay (HTA). Despite numerous studies on the impact of HIV-1 diversity and HIV-specific immune response on disease progression, we still do not have a firm understanding of the long-term pathogenesis of this virus. Strong and early CD8-positive cytotoxic T-cell and CD4-positive T-helper cell responses directed toward HIV-infected cells appear to curb HIV pathogenesis. However, the rate at which the virus infects the CD4(+) T-cell population and possibly destroys the HIV-specific immune response may also alter the rate of disease progression. For HIV-1 fitness studies, we established conditions for dual HIV-1 infections of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and a sensitive HTA to measure relative virus production. A pairwise comparison was then performed to estimate the relative fitness of various non-syncytium-inducing/CCR5-tropic (NSI/R5) and syncytium-inducing/CXCR4-tropic (SI/X4) HIV-1 isolates. Four HIV-1 strains (two NSI/R5 and two SI/X4) with moderate ex vivo fitness were then selected as controls and competed against primary HIV-1 isolates from an HIV-infected Belgian cohort. HIV-1 isolates from long-term survivors (LTS) were outcompeted by control strains and were significantly less fit than HIV-1 isolates from patients with accelerated progression to AIDS (PRO). In addition, NSI/R5 HIV-1 isolates from PRO overgrew control SI/X4 strains, suggesting that not all SI/X4 HIV-1 isolates replicate more efficiently than all NSI/R5 isolates. Finally, there were strong, independent correlations between viral load and the total relative fitness values of HIV-1 isolates from PRO (r = 0.84, P = 0.033) and LTS (r = 0.86, P = 0.028). Separation of the PRO and LTS plots suggest that HIV-1 fitness together with viral load may be a strong predictor for the rate of disease progression. 相似文献

Two distinct biological phenotypes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been described: the non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) phenotype, best characterized by the inability to infect MT-2 cells, and the syncytium-inducing (SI) phenotype, with the ability to infect MT-2 cells. The earliest virus population observed following HIV transmission is generally of the NSI phenotype, even after exposure to inocula of mixed NSI/SI phenotype. In this study, the issue of intrapatient selection of virus phenotype following transmission was addressed by studying two cases of accidental transmission. A comparison of the sequences of the V1-V2 and the V3 coding regions of the envelope gene and the p17 region of the gag gene showed that the donor-recipient pairs were tightly clustered in all gene segments, but away from local and published transmission controls. The intrasample variation of the p17 sequence was greater in the recipients and smaller in the donors than that of the V3 region sequence, indicating selection of V3 at transmission. In these transmission cases, the effects of an intravenous inoculation of a small quantity of blood containing predominantly SI V3 sequences (6 of 8 clonal sequences) were compared with those of an intramuscular inoculation of a large quantity of blood containing predominantly NSI viruses (14 of 16 clonal sequences). Both SI and NSI V3 regions were demonstrated to be phenotypic expressions of genetically related viral strains. The inoculation of the predominantly SI virus population resulted in the persistence of an SI virus population in the recipient and a rapid CD4+ T-cell decline. The inoculation of the predominantly NSI population resulted in a selective amplification of SI viruses before seroconversion, followed by a suppression of SI viruses at seroconversion and a rapid decline of CD4+ T-cell numbers. These data suggest that the suppression of SI viruses can be accomplished following the development of HIV-specific immunity and that the ability to suppress SI viruses does not prevent the development of immunodeficiency. 相似文献

Clinical deterioration in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease is associated with an increased viral burden in the peripheral blood and a loss of circulating CD4+ T cells. HIV-1 isolates obtained prior to this stage of disease often have a "slow-low," non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) phenotype, whereas those obtained afterwards are often characterized as "rapid-high" and syncytium inducing (SI). Paired NSI and SI isolates from two different patients were inoculated into the human thymus implants of SCID-hu mice. The two slow-low, NSI isolates replicated to minimal levels in the grafts and did not induce thymocyte depletion. In contrast, the two SI isolates from the same patients showed high levels of viral replication and induced a marked degree of thymocyte depletion, accompanied by evidence of programmed cell death. These observations reveal a correlation between the replicative and cytopathic patterns of HIV-1 isolates in vitro and in the SCID-hu mouse in vivo and provide direct evidence that the biological phenotype of HIV-1 switch may be a causal and not a derivative correlate of HIV-1 disease progression. 相似文献

The relative infectiousness of laboratory and primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants was evaluated in in vitro cell cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells or MT-2 cells and in Hu-PBL-SCID mice. HIV(MN) and syncytium-inducing primary isolates were preferentially transmitted to cells in tissue culture. HIV(Ba-L) and non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) primary isolates were more infectious in Hu-PBL-SCID mice. Phylogenetic analysis of env sequences derived from the primary isolates, from the cell cultures, and from five Hu-PBL-SCID mice was performed by using methods designed for resolving differences among closely related sequence pairs. This analysis demonstrated preferential transmission of an evolutionarily related subset of NSI variants to Hu-PBL-SCID mice. The pattern of selective transmission of a restricted range of NSI variants that is observed in the clinical setting is maintained in Hu-PBL-SCID mice and not in tissue culture systems. The Hu-PBL-SCID mouse model system, when used with appropriate phylogenetic analysis methodologies, will be useful for identifying and characterizing the more infectious HIV-1 variants that should be targeted for vaccine development. 相似文献
