Primary human PBLs were transduced with the recombinant vector pLNCX-R-K-S-K followed by anti-NGFR/anti-IgG-magnetic bead method selection and FCM detection. The transduced PBI.S were infected with DP1 HFV-1 virus thereafter envelope-mediated syncytium formation and p24 detection were carried out to study the blockage of HIV-1 infection by co-inactivation of CCR5 and CXCR4. pLNCX-R-K-S-K -transduced PBLs were isolated with an anti-NGFR/anti-IgG-magnetic bead method. After isolation, about 70% of the PBI.S were posi- tive for the NGFR marker. When the transduced PBLs were infected with DP1 HIV-1 virus, envelop-mediated syncytium for- mation was almost completely inhibited by pLNCX-R-K-S-K transfection. Also, p24 antigen was very low in the cultures of pLNCX-R-K-S-K transduced PBLs. pLNCX-R-K-S-K transduction inhibited the produc- tion of DP1 p24 antigen by 15%, 43% and 19% on days 4, 7 and 10 respectively. The lymphocytes with the phenotypic knockout of CCR5 and CXCR4 could protect primary human PBLs from DP1 HIV-1 virus infection.展开更多

The cDNA of the class I loci P1 and P14 were amplified by RT-PCR and subjected to insert into sequencing vectors. All six allelic sequences we examined, each two for one Chinese strain, are not identical to those reported, which allows these novel sequences receiving their accession numbers AY102467- AY102472 from GenBank. This study further reveals that the homologies of MHC class I genes in their primary structures and the deduced amino acids between Chinese pigs (SLA) and human (HLA-A*0201) are better than those between pigs and mice (H-2Db/H-2Kb). The comparison also indicates that the amino acid residues critical for recognition by human KIRs are altered in the swine class I molecules. The amino acids responsible for binding human CD8 coreceptor are largely conserved although there are two critical residues substituted. A functional test indicated that the human T cells specific for the prokaryotically expressed SLA Plprotein could respond quite well in vitro to the class I-positive swine chon-drocytes and PBMCs in presence of human APCs. This implies that, due to the substitution of two critical residues, the inaccessibility of human CD8 coreceptor to swine class I molecule might be contributable to the indirect pathway that the human T cells have to use for recognizing the SLA class I xenogeneic antigens.展开更多
