目的研究丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)核心(C)基因免疫用于预防和治疗HCV感染的可行性和有效性.方法将HCVC基因片段插入真核表达载体pcDNA3质粒CMV启动子的下游,在证实其可以在小鼠骨髓瘤细胞SP2/0(H2d)中表达之后,将重组质粒注射BALB/c(H2d)小鼠股四头肌,ELISA检测血清中抗体产生水平;3HTdR掺入法测定免疫小鼠淋巴细胞HCVC抗原特异性增殖能力,4h51Cr释放法检测免疫小鼠细胞毒T细胞(CTLs)体外杀伤功能.结果免疫小鼠20只,初次免疫2wk后,血清中均出现了HCVC抗体,且增加免疫剂量可提高抗体滴度;淋巴细胞增殖指数为610,明显高于对照组(P<001),CTLs体外特异性杀伤率为631%,也高于对照组(P<001).结论HCVC基因免疫不仅可以诱导机体产生特异性的体液免疫,而且产生特异性的细胞免疫,它可能是防治HCV的有效方法.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core (C) gene immunization for the prevention and treatment of HCV infection. Methods The HCVC gene fragment was inserted into the downstream of the CMV promoter of the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. After confirming that it could be expressed in mouse myeloma cells SP2 / 0 (H2d), the recombinant plasmid was injected into BALB / c 2d) mice quadriceps muscle, ELISA detection of serum antibody levels; 3 H TdR incorporation assay lymphocyte specific immunity HCVC antigen-specific proliferation, 4h51Cr release assay immunized mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) In vitro killing function. Results Twenty mice were immunized with HCVC antibodies in the first 2 weeks of immunization, and the antibody titer increased with the increase of immunization dose. The lymphocyte proliferation index was 610, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P <001 ), CTLs specific in vitro killing rate of 63 1%, also higher than the control group (P <0 01). Conclusion HCVC gene immunization can not only induce the body to produce specific humoral immunity, but also produce specific cellular immunity, which may be an effective way to prevent and treat HCV.
