However, the exact role that neutralizing antibodies plays in controlling the disease progression of HIV-1 infected peoples is still undetermined. In this paper, we compared the protective function of the neutralizing antibody response in the plasma from LTNP and TP against clade B and clade C pseudoviruses. No difference in the neutralizing activities between the plasma from LTNP and TP was found, which was consistent with the most recent reports. In addition, no correlations between the titer or breadth and CD4+ or viral load in HIV-1 infected individuals were found. The protective roles played by neutralizing antibodies in controlling disease progression of HIV-1 infected people need to be considered in a new viewpoint.展开更多
目的:了解中国HIV感染长期不进展者(Long-Term Non-Progressor,LTNP)T细胞表面IL-7(Interleukin-7,IL-7)受体的表达,分析其与疾病进展的关系。方法:收集LTNP组、HIV组、AIDS组及健康对照组(每组各20例)的抗凝全血,用流式细胞仪检测IL-7...目的:了解中国HIV感染长期不进展者(Long-Term Non-Progressor,LTNP)T细胞表面IL-7(Interleukin-7,IL-7)受体的表达,分析其与疾病进展的关系。方法:收集LTNP组、HIV组、AIDS组及健康对照组(每组各20例)的抗凝全血,用流式细胞仪检测IL-7受体的表达,并分析IL-7受体表达与血浆中IL-7水平的相关性。结果:LTNP组CD4+T、CD8+T、中枢记忆T细胞(Central memory T cells,Tcm)、效应记忆性T细胞(Effector memory T cells,Tem)表面IL-7受体表达水平明显高于无症状HIV感染组(HIV组)、AIDS病人组(AIDS组)(P<0.05),LTNP组初始T细胞(Na ve T cells,Na ve)、终末分化效应记忆型T细胞(Terminallydifferentiated effector memory T cells,Tem/td)表面IL-7受体表达水平与HIV组、AIDS组间差异无统计学意义。HIV/AIDS患者IL-7受体在CD4+T和CD8+T细胞上表达的百分率与血浆IL-7水平呈明显负相关(P<0.05),与CD4+T细胞数量呈明显的正相关(P<0.05),与病毒载量呈明显负相关(P<0.05)。结论:外周血T细胞表面IL-7受体表达与HIV疾病进展密切相关,LTNP组T细胞保持较高水平的IL-7受体表达,可能是保护因素之一。展开更多
