We previously reported a number of features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chimeric glycoproteins related to pseudotype virus entry into mammalian cells. In this study, pseudotype virus was neutralized by HCV E2 glycoprotein-specific antibodies and infected human sera. Neutralization (50% reduction of pseudotype virus plaque formation) was observed with two human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) at concentrations of between 2.5 and 10 microg/ml. A hyperimmune rabbit antiserum to an E2 hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) mimotope also exhibited an HCV E2 pseudotype virus neutralization titer of approximately 1/50. An E1 pseudotype virus used as a negative control was not neutralized to a significant level (<1/10) by these MAbs or rabbit antiserum to E2 HVR1. Since HCV probably has a lipid envelope, the role of complement in antibody-mediated virus neutralization was examined. Significant increases in the neutralization titers of the human MAbs (approximately 60- to 160-fold higher) and rabbit antiserum to HVR1 mimotopes (approximately 10-fold higher) were observed upon addition of guinea pig complement. Further, these studies suggested that complement activation occurred primarily by the classical pathway, since a deficiency in the C4 component led to a significant decrease in the level of virus neutralization. This same decrease was not observed with factor B-deficient complement. We also determined that 9 of 56 HCV-infected patient sera (16%) had detectable pseudotype virus neutralization activity at serum dilutions of between 1/20 and 1/50 and that complement addition enhanced the neutralization activity of some of the HCV-infected human sera. Taken together, these results suggest that during infection, HCV E2 glycoprotein induces a weak neutralizing antibody response, that those antibodies can be measured in vitro by the surrogate pseudotype virus plaque reduction assay, and that neutralization function can be augmented by complement. 相似文献

We have completed a phase 1 safety and immunogenicity trial with hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2, with MF59 adjuvant as a candidate vaccine. Neutralizing activity to HCV genotype 1a was detected in approximately 25% of the vaccinee sera. In this study, we evaluated vaccinee sera from poor responders as a potential source of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) of HCV infection. Sera with poor neutralizing activity enhanced cell culture grown HCV genotype 1a or 2a, and surrogate VSV/HCV pseudotype infection titer, in a dilution dependent manner. Surrogate pseudotypes generated from individual HCV glycoproteins suggested that antibody to the E2 glycoprotein; but not the E1 glycoprotein, was the principle target for enhancing infection. Antibody specific to FcRII expressed on the hepatic cell surface or to the Fc portion of Ig blocked enhancement of HCV infection by vaccinee sera. Together, the results from in vitro studies suggested that enhancement of viral infectivity may occur in the absence of a strong antibody response to HCV envelope glycoproteins. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) circulates in the bloodstream in different forms, including complexes with immunoglobulins and/or lipoproteins. To address the significance of such associations, we produced or treated HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp), a valid model of HCV cell entry and its inhibition, with na?ve or patient-derived sera. We demonstrate that infection of hepatocarcinoma cells by HCVpp is increased more than 10-fold by human serum factors, of which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a major component. Infection enhancement requires scavenger receptor BI, a molecule known to mediate HDL uptake into cells as well as HCVpp entry, and involves conserved amino acid positions in hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of the E2 glycoprotein. Additionally, we show that the interaction with human serum or HDL, but not with low-density lipoprotein, leads to the protection of HCVpp from neutralizing antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies and antibodies present in patient sera. Finally, the deletion or mutation of HVR1 in HCVpp abolishes infection enhancement and leads to increased sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies/sera compared to that of parental HCVpp. Altogether, these results assign to HVR1 new roles which are complementary in helping HCV to survive within its host. Besides immune escape by mutation, HRV1 can mediate the enhancement of cell entry and the protection of virions from neutralizing antibodies. By preserving a balance between these functions, HVR1 may be essential for the viral persistence of HCV. 相似文献

We studied the effect of antibody on the growth of reovirus, serotypes 1 and 3, in P388D1, a continuous mouse macrophage-like cell line. Enhanced growth of virus was observed when cells were infected in the presence of nonneutralizing monoclonal antibodies or subneutralizing concentrations of either immune ascitic fluids or neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Both enhancement of viral growth and neutralization were accompanied by an antibody-mediated increase in binding of radiolabeled virus to P388D1 cells. Although neutralization was seen only with monoclonal antibodies directed toward the sigma-1 surface protein of the virus, enhancement was observed with two monoclonal antibodies directed toward other surface proteins. Trypsin treatment of P388D1 cells abrogated enhanced growth of virus mediated by a mouse IgG2a antibody; preincubation with P388D1 with human IgG1 but not IgG2 myeloma proteins also abrogated enhancement by immune ascitic fluid or monoclonal antibody. These observations are compatible with known properties of P388D1 Fc receptors and support the role of the Fc receptor in antibody-mediated infection. 相似文献

We have previously reported that a pseudotype virus generated by reconstitution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chimeric envelope glycoprotein E1-G or E2-G on the surface of a temperature-sensitive mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSVts045) interacts independently with mammalian cells to initiate infection. Here, we examined whether coexpression of both of the envelope glycoproteins on pseudotype particles would augment virus infectivity and/or alter the functional properties of the individual subunits. Stable transfectants of baby hamster kidney (BHK) epithelial cells expressing either one or both of the chimeric envelope glycoproteins of HCV on the cell surface were generated. The infectious titer of the VSV pseudotype, derived from a stable cell line incorporating both of the chimeric glycoproteins of HCV, was approximately 4- to 5-fold higher than that of a pseudotype bearing E1-G alone or approximately 25- to 30-fold higher than that of E2-G alone when assayed with a number of mammalian cell lines. Further studies suggested that that the E1-G/E2-G or E2-G pseudotype was more sensitive to the inhibitory effect of heparin than the E1-G pseudotype. Treatment of the E1-G/E2-G pseudotype with a negatively charged sulfated sialyl lipid (NMSO3) displayed a approximately 4-fold-higher sensitivity to neutralization than pseudotypes with either of the two individual glycoproteins. In contrast, VSVts045, used as a backbone for the generation of pseudotypes, displayed at least 20-fold-higher sensitivity to NMSO3-mediated inhibition of virus plaque formation. The effect of low-density lipoprotein on the E1-G pseudotype was greater than that apparent for the E1-G/E2-G pseudotype. The treatment of cells with monoclonal antibodies to CD81 displayed an inhibitory effect upon the pseudotype with E1-G/E2-G or with E2-G alone. Taken together, our results indicate that the HCV E1 and E2 glycoproteins have separable functional properties and that the presence of these two envelope glycoproteins on VSV/HCV pseudotype particles increases infectious titer. 相似文献

Mechanisms of virion attachment, interaction with its receptor, and cell entry are poorly understood for hepatitis C virus (HCV) because of a lack of an efficient and reliable in vitro system for virus propagation. Infectious HCV retroviral pseudotype particles (HCVpp) were recently shown to express native E1E2 glycoproteins, as defined in part by HCV human monoclonal antibodies (HMAbs) to conformational epitopes on E2, and some of these antibodies block HCVpp infection (A. Op De Beeck, C. Voisset, B. Bartosch, Y. Ciczora, L. Cocquerel, Z. Y. Keck, S. Foung, F. L. Cosset, and J. Dubuisson, J. Virol. 78:2994-3002, 2004). Why some HMAbs are neutralizing and others are nonneutralizing is looked at in this report by a series of studies to determine the expression of their epitopes on E2 associated with HCVpp and the role of antibody binding affinity. Antibody cross-competition defined three E2 immunogenic domains with neutralizing HMAbs restricted to two domains that were also able to block E2 interaction with CD81, a putative receptor for HCV. HCVpp immunoprecipitation showed that neutralizing and nonneutralizing domains are expressed on E2 associated with HCVpp, and affinity studies found moderate-to-high-affinity antibodies in all domains. These findings support the perspective that HCV-specific epitopes are responsible for functional steps in virus infection, with specific antibodies blocking distinct steps of virus attachment and entry, rather than the perspective that virus neutralization correlates with increased antibody binding to any virion surface site, independent of the epitope recognized by the antibody. Segregation of virus neutralization and sensitivity to low pH to specific regions supports a model of HCV E2 immunogenic domains similar to the antigenic structural and functional domains of other flavivirus envelope E glycoproteins. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major causative agent of blood-borne non-A, non-B hepatitis. Although a strong humoral response is detectable within a few weeks of primary infection and during viral persistence, the role played by antibodies against HCV envelope glycoproteins in controlling viral replication is still unclear. We describe how human monoclonal anti-HCV E2 antibody fragments isolated from a chronically HCV-infected patient differ sharply in their abilities to neutralize infection of HepG2 cells by a vesicular stomatitis virus pseudotype bearing HCV envelope glycoproteins. Two clones were able to neutralize the pseudotype virus at a concentration of 10 micro g/ml, while three other clones completely lacked this activity. These data can explain the lack of protection and the possibility of reinfection that occur even in the presence of a strong antiviral antibody response. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) often causes persistent infection despite the presence of neutralizing antibodies against the virus in the sera of hepatitis C patients. HCV infects both hepatocytes and B cells through the binding of its envelope glycoprotein E2 to CD81, the putative viral receptor. Previously, we have shown that E2-CD81 interaction induces hypermutation of heavy-chain immunoglobulin (V(H)) in B cells. We hypothesize that if HCV infects antibody-producing B cells, the resultant hypermutation of V(H) may lower the affinity and specificity of the HCV-specific antibodies, enabling HCV to escape from immune surveillance. To test this hypothesis, we infected human hybridoma clones producing either neutralizing or non-neutralizing anti-E2 or anti-E1 antibodies with a lymphotropic HCV (SB strain). All of the hybridoma clones, except for a neutralizing antibody-producing hybridoma, could be infected with HCV and support virus replication for at least 8 weeks after infection. The V(H) sequences in the infected hybridomas had a significantly higher mutation frequency than those in the uninfected hybridomas, with mutations concentrating in complementarity-determining region 3. These mutations lowered the antibody affinity against the targeting protein and also lowered the virus-neutralizing activity of anti-E2 antibodies. Furthermore, antibody-mediated complement-dependent cytotoxicity with the antibodies secreted from the HCV-infected hybridomas was impaired. These results suggest that HCV infection could cause some anti-HCV-antibody-producing hybridoma B cells to make less-protective antibodies. 相似文献

CD81 has been described as a putative receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV); however, its role in HCV cell entry has not been characterized due to the lack of an efficient cell culture system. We have examined the role of CD81 in HCV glycoprotein-dependent entry by using a recently developed retroviral pseudotyping system. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pseudotypes bearing HCV E1E2 glycoproteins show a restricted tropism for human liver cell lines. Although all of the permissive cell lines express CD81, CD81 expression alone is not sufficient to allow viral entry. CD81 is required for HIV-HCV pseudotype infection since (i) a monoclonal antibody specific for CD81 inhibited infection of susceptible target cells and (ii) silencing of CD81 expression in Huh-7.5 hepatoma cells by small interfering RNAs inhibited HIV-HCV pseudotype infection. Furthermore, expression of CD81 in human liver cells that were previously resistant to infection, HepG2 and HH29, conferred permissivity of HCV pseudotype infection. The characterization of chimeric CD9/CD81 molecules confirmed that the large extracellular loop of CD81 is a determinant for viral entry. These data suggest a functional role for CD81 as a coreceptor for HCV glycoprotein-dependent viral cell entry. 相似文献

Anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) cross-neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies, directed against conserved epitopes on surface E2 glycoprotein, are central tools for understanding virus-host interplay, and for planning strategies for prevention and treatment of this infection. Recently, we developed a research aimed at identifying these antibody specificities. The characteristics of one of these antibodies (Fab e20) were addressed in this study. Firstly, using immunofluorescence and FACS analysis of cells expressing envelope HCV glycoproteins, Fab e20 was able to recognize all HCV genotypes. Secondly, competition assays with a panel of mouse and rat monoclonals, and alanine scanning mutagenesis analyses located the e20 epitope within the CD81 binding site, documenting that three highly conserved HCV/E2 residues (W529, G530 and D535) are critical for e20 binding. Finally, a strong neutralizing activity against HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) incorporating envelope glycoproteins of genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 4, and against the cell culture-grown (HCVcc) JFH1 strain, was observed. The data highlight that neutralizing antibodies against HCV epitopes present in all HCV genotypes are elicited during natural infection. Their availability may open new avenues to the understanding of HCV persistence and to the development of strategies for the immune control of this infection. 相似文献

Hepatitis C (HCV) E2 glycoprotein is involved in virus attachment and entry, and its structural organization is largely unknown. Characterization of a panel of human monoclonal antibodies (HMAbs) to HCV by competition studies has led to an immunogenic organization model of E2 with three domains designated A, B, and C and epitopes in each domain having similar structural and functional properties. Domain A contains nonneutralizing epitopes, and domains B and C contain neutralizing epitopes. The isolation and characterization of three new HMAbs within domain A for a total of six provide support for this model. All six domain A HMAbs do not neutralize HCV retroviral pseudotype particle (HCVpp) infection on Huh-7 cells, and all six HMAbs have similar binding affinity and maximum binding, B(max), a relative indicator of epitope density, as other neutralizing HMAbs, suggesting that neutralization is epitope specific and not by binding to any surface epitope. The dose-dependent neutralizing activity of CBH-7, an HMAb to a domain C epitope in spatial proximity to domain A, and of CBH-5, a domain B HMAb to a more distant epitope, were tested in the presence and absence of each domain A HMAb. No enhancement or reduction in CBH-7 or CBH-5 neutralizing activity was observed, indicating that the potential induction of nonneutralizing antibodies should not be a central issue for HCV vaccine design. To assess whether domain A is involved in the structural changes as part of a pH-dependent virus envelope fusion process, changes in antibody binding patterns to normal pH and acid pH-treated HCVpp were measured. Antibody binding affinity of HMAbs to HCVpp was not affected by low pH. However, the B(max) values for low-pH-treated HCVpp with antibodies to domain A increased 46%, for domain C (CBH-7) they increased 23%, and for domain B (CBH-5) there was a decrease of 12%. Collectively, the organization and function of HCV E2 antigenic domains are roughly analogous to the large envelope glycoprotein E organizational structure for other flaviviruses with three distinct structural and functional domains. 相似文献

Characterization of antibodies targeting the attachment and entry of the viral particles into host cells is important for studding antibody mediated neutralization. Antibodies against the envelope glycoproteins (EGP) have neutralizing capacity and can prevent HCV infections. System based on HCV pseudo typed-particles (HCVpp) stably expressing EGP can be used for screening of HCV anti envelope neutralizing antibodies in the serum of patients with acute and chronic HCV infections. The aim of the current study was to check HCVpp as a useful tool for the detection of anti-HCV envelope antibodies in the serum of HCV infected patients and to test the binding potential of these antiviral molecules to EGP of HCV 3a. Previously developed HCVpp harboring unmodified glycoproteins from local isolates in 293T cell line were used in this study. HCVpp were pre incubated with different concentrations of anti E1 antibody and different E2 antibodies to check antiviral activity. Further we used serum samples with low/medium (≤800,000 IU/mL), and high (>800,000 IU/mL) viral titer from chronic HCV male and female patients. Infection was done in Huh-7 cells for 1 h at 37 oC. Infectivity was checked through Luciferase assay. Considerable decrease in HCVpp infectivity with anti-envelope antibodies was observed in dose dependent manner. Maximum inhibition was seen when 5 µg/ml of monoclonal anti E1 antibody used. Further increase in concentration exhibited no decrease in infectivity which suggests that other factors are also involved in causing infection. Various well characterized E2-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been screened for their capability to reduce infection in Huh-7 cells. Three of the four mAbs specific for the E2 had no effect on the infectivity of HCVpp. Confirmation sensitive antibody H53 showed maximum inhibition of infectivity. HCV ELISA positive samples from both male and female patients were used to neutralize the HCVpp. The neutralizing antibody response was observed in both males and females patients and do not assemble the rapidly evolving HCV envelope glycoproteins. That is why in spite the presence of neutralizing antibodies in the blood they fail to resolve infections. Moreover E1 antibodies insignificantly (>0.05) inhibit HCVpp infectivity while E2 antibodies significantly (<0.05) inhibit HCVpp infection. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that anti-envelope antibodies particularly the anti-E2 could be extremely valuable for characterizing the humoral immune response to HCV and for evaluating the potential for developing passive and active immunization for hepatitis C along with interferon therapy. 相似文献

Symptomatic dengue virus infection ranges in disease severity from an influenza-like illness to life-threatening shock. One model of the mechanism underlying severe disease proposes that weakly neutralizing, dengue serotype cross-reactive antibodies induced during a primary infection facilitate virus entry into Fc receptor-bearing cells during a subsequent secondary infection, increasing viral replication and the release of cytokines and vasoactive mediators, culminating in shock. This process has been termed antibody-dependent enhancement of infection and has significantly hindered vaccine development. Much of our understanding of this process has come from studies using mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs); however, antibody responses in mice typically exhibit less complexity than those in humans. A better understanding of the humoral immune response to natural dengue virus infection in humans is sorely needed. Using a high-efficiency human hybridoma technology, we isolated 37 hybridomas secreting human MAbs to dengue viruses from 12 subjects years or even decades following primary or secondary infection. The majority of the human antibodies recovered were broadly cross-reactive, directed against either envelope or premembrane proteins, and capable of enhancement of infection in vitro; few exhibited serotype-specific binding or potent neutralizing activity. Memory B cells encoding enhancing antibodies predominated in the circulation, even two or more decades following infection. Mapping the epitopes and activity of naturally occurring dengue antibodies should prove valuable in determining whether the enhancing and neutralizing activity of antibodies can be separated. Such principles could be used in the rational design of vaccines that enhance the induction of neutralizing antibodies, while lowering the risk of dengue shock syndrome. 相似文献

Induction of an effective antibody response against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important defense mechanism since it is potentially capable of neutralizing infectious viruses. We have analyzed the extent of HCMV strain-specific neutralization capacity in human sera. Nine recent HCMV isolates and their corresponding sera were investigated in cross-neutralization assays. We observed differences, independent of the overall neutralization capacity, in the 50% neutralization titers of the sera against individual strains, differences that ranged from 8-fold to more than 60-fold. For one isolate, complete resistance to neutralization by two human sera was observed. The neutralization capacity of human sera was not influenced by the presence of various concentrations (up to 100-fold excess) of noninfectious envelope glycoproteins, an inherent contamination of virus preparations from recent HCMV isolates. This indicated that the decisive parameter for neutralization is the titer of the neutralizing antibodies and that neutralization is largely independent of the concentration of virus. Analysis with transplant patients revealed that during primary infection strain-specific and strain-common antibodies are produced asynchronously. Thus, our data demonstrate that the induction of strain-specific neutralizing antibodies is a common event during infection with HCMV and that it might have important implications for the course of the infection and the development of anti-HCMV vaccines. 相似文献

We developed an in vitro assay for antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) that bind to virions and prevent initiation of the replication cycle in susceptible cells in vitro. These antibodies therefore appear to be capable of neutralizing the virus. Using this assay and a standard inoculum of HCV of known infectivity, we have measured the antibody in serial serum samples obtained from the same chronically infected patient over 14 years following onset of his hepatitis. Such antibody was found in sera collected within 5 years of onset of hepatitis but not in later sera. In double immunoprecipitation experiments with anti-human immunoglobulin, the same sera that contained neutralizing antibody were found to contain antibody that bound to HCV to form antigen-antibody complexes immunoprecipitable with anti-human globulin. Similarly, plasma collected from this patient in 1990, 13 years after onset of hepatitis, and which contained HCV that had diverged genetically from the 1977 strain, did not contain antibody capable of neutralizing either the 1977 or the 1990 strain of HCV. However, plasma collected a year later (1991, 14 years after onset of hepatitis) contained neutralizing antibody to the 1990, but not the 1977, strain of HCV. These results suggest that HCV does induce antivirion antibody, as measured by blocking of initiation of the replication cycle of virus in cells and by the formation of immunoprecipitable antigen-antibody complexes but that these antibodies are isolate specific and change over time. Thus, these antivirion antibodies function as neutralizing antibodies and are probably in vitro correlates of the attempt of the host to contain the emergence of neutralization-resistant variants of HCV over time. 相似文献

Passive immunotherapy is potentially effective in preventing reinfection of liver grafts in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated liver transplant patients. A combination of monoclonal antibodies directed against different epitopes may be advantageous against a highly mutating virus such as HCV. Two human monoclonal antibodies (HumAbs) against the E2 envelope protein of HCV were developed and tested for the ability to neutralize the virus and prevent human liver infection. These antibodies, designated HCV-AB 68 and HCV-AB 65, recognize different conformational epitopes on E2. They were characterized in vitro biochemically and functionally. Both HumAbs are immunoglobulin G1 and have affinity constants to recombinant E2 constructs in the range of 10(-10) M. They are able to immunoprecipitate HCV particles from infected patients' sera from diverse genotypes and to stain HCV-infected human liver tissue. Both antibodies can fix complement and form immune complexes, but they do not activate complement-dependent or antibody-dependent cytotoxicity. Upon complement fixation, the monoclonal antibodies induce phagocytosis of the immune complexes by neutrophils, suggesting that the mechanism of viral clearance includes endocytosis. In vivo, in the HCV-Trimera model, both HumAbs were capable of inhibiting HCV infection of human liver fragments and of reducing the mean viral load in HCV-positive animals. The demonstrated neutralizing activities of HCV-AB 68 and HCV-AB 65 suggest that they have the potential to prevent reinfection in liver transplant patients and to serve as prophylactic treatment in postexposure events. 相似文献

Although the cell-to-cell spread of many viruses in vitro is inhibited by antibody, the effect of antibody on such spread of rabies viruses is uncertain. Thus, we examined the effects of anti-rabies virus immune sera and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) on the in vitro spread of pathogenic rabies viruses in neuronal and nonneuronal cells. Both anti-rabies virus immune sera and neutralizing antiglycoprotein MAbs inhibited the cell-to-cell spread of street rabies virus, challenge virus standard, and ERA rabies viruses in cultures of neuroblastoma cells and of nonneuronal BHK-21 and chicken embryo-related cells. Furthermore, the cell-to-cell spread of virus was inhibited by greater than or equal to 75% with less than 1 IU/ml of human antirabies immunoglobulin. Nonneutralizing antinucleocapsid MAbs did not inhibit viral spread. After the immune serum was removed from the monolayers, virus spread rapidly to uninfected cells. Thus, antibody controlled the cell-to-cell spread of the virus but did not eliminate it from the cultures. Because antibody was more effective in inhibiting viral spread in fibroblast and epithelioid cells than in neuroblastoma cells infected at a high multiplicity of infection, we suggest that the inhibition of viral cell-to-cell spread by antibody in vivo would more likely occur at an initial site of exposure and before nerves are infected. 相似文献

Antibodies to viral surface glycoproteins play a crucial role in immunity to measles by blocking both virus attachment and subsequent fusion with the host cell membrane. Here, we demonstrate that certain immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies can also enhance the entry of measles virus (MV) into monocytes and macrophages. Antibody-dependent enhancement of infectivity was observed in mouse and human macrophages using virions opsonized by a murine monoclonal antibody against the MV hemagglutinin (H) glycoprotein, polyclonal mouse anti-MV IgG, or diluted measles-immune human sera. Neither H-specific Fab fragments nor H-specific IgM could enhance MV entry in monocytes or macrophages, indicating involvement of a Fc γ receptor (FcγR)-mediated mechanism. Preincubation with an anti-fusion protein (anti-F) monoclonal antibody or a fusion-inhibitory peptide blocked infection, indicating that a functional F protein was required for viral internalization. Classical complement pathway activation did not promote infection through complement receptors and inhibited anti-H IgG-mediated enhancement. In vivo, antibody-enhanced infection allowed MV to overcome a highly protective systemic immune response in preimmunized IfnarKo-Ge46 transgenic mice. These data demonstrate a previously unidentified mechanism that may contribute to morbillivirus pathogenesis where H-specific IgG antibodies promote the spread of MV infection among FcγR-expressing host cells. The findings point to a new model for the pathogenesis of atypical MV infection observed after immunization with formalin-inactivated MV vaccine and underscore the importance of the anti-F response after vaccination. 相似文献

The ability of antibodies to interfere with anterograde transmission of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from neuronal axons to the epidermis was investigated in an in vitro model consisting of human fetal dorsal root ganglia innervating autologous skin explants in a dual-chamber tissue culture system. The number and size of viral cytopathic plaques in epidermal cells after axonal transmission from HSV type 1 (HSV-1)-infected dorsal root ganglionic neurons were significantly reduced by addition to the outer chamber of neutralizing polyclonal human sera to HSV-1, of a human recombinant monoclonal group Ib antibody to glycoprotein D (gD), and of rabbit sera to HSV-1 gB and gD but not by rabbit anti-gE or anti-gG. A similar pattern of inhibition of direct infection of epidermal cells by these antibodies was observed. High concentrations of the monoclonal anti-gD reduced transmission by 90%. Rabbit anti-gB was not taken up into neurons, and human anti-gD did not influence spread of HSV in the dorsal root ganglia or axonal transport of HSV antigens when applied to individual dissociated neurons. These results suggest that anti-gD and -gB antibodies interfere with axonal spread of HSV-1, possibly by neutralizing HSV during transmission across an intercellular gap between axonal termini and epidermal cells, and thus contribute to control of HSV spread and shedding. Therefore, selected human monoclonal antibodies to protective epitopes might even be effective in preventing epidermis-to-neuron transmission during primary HSV infection, especially neonatal infection. 相似文献

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can persist even in the presence of a broadly neutralizing antibody response. Various mechanisms that underpin viral persistence have been proposed, and one of the most recently proposed mechanisms is the presence of interfering antibodies that negate neutralizing responses. Specifically, it has been proposed that antibodies targeting broadly neutralizing epitopes located within a region of E2 encompassing residues 412 to 423 can be inhibited by nonneutralizing antibodies binding to a less conserved region encompassing residues 434 to 446. To investigate this phenomenon, we characterized the neutralizing and inhibitory effects of human-derived affinity-purified immunoglobulin fractions and murine monoclonal antibodies and show that antibodies to both regions neutralize HCV pseudoparticle (HCVpp) and cell culture-infectious virus (HCVcc) infection albeit with different breadths and potencies. Epitope mapping revealed the presence of overlapping but distinct epitopes in both regions, which may explain the observed differences in neutralizing phenotypes. Crucially, we failed to demonstrate any inhibition between these two groups of antibodies, suggesting that interference by nonneutralizing antibodies, at least for the region encompassing residues 434 to 446, does not provide a mechanism for HCV persistence in chronically infected individuals. 相似文献
