文摘目的用乙肝表面抗原(hepatitis B surface antigen,HBsAg)在体外刺激乙肝疫苗弱、无应答者外周血单个核细胞(peripheral blood mononuclear cells,PBMC),看是否能够诱导出一群HBsAg特异性的CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell,简称Treg)。方法分离并培养乙肝疫苗强应答、弱应答和无应答者的外周血PBMCs,用植物血凝素(phytohemagglutinin,PHA)和HBsAg刺激,并设不加抗原的空白对照。流式细胞仪检测抗原刺激后Treg细胞的表达频率,并用噻唑蓝比色法(MTT)检测培养细胞的增殖反应。结果弱、无应答组PBMC经HBsAg刺激后Treg细胞的表达频率与PHA刺激孔和不加抗原的空白对照孔相比,明显上升(P<0.01);而强应答组HBsAg,PHA刺激孔以及空白对照孔三孔之间Treg细胞的表达频率均无显著差异。MTT法检测细胞增殖反应,发现弱、无应答组与强应答组相比,HBsAg刺激后细胞增殖反应明显降低(P<0.01),但三组之间PHA刺激孔以及空白对照孔均无显著差异。结论乙肝疫苗弱、无应答现象可能是由于注射疫苗后,在体内诱导出了一群HBsAg特异性的Treg细胞,而这群具有抑制功能的T细胞介导了机体细胞及体液免疫功能的下降,从而导致弱、无应答现象的发生。
