项目摘要

In persistent infection, virus can hidden in body and escape from immunological pressure, in spite of the presence of immunity. However, the virus is sometimes reactivated to produce diseases in host. Following results were obtained.1.We established an in vitro model for a persistent infection of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) using a human T-lymphoid cell line (MOLT-4). FIV-specific RNA expression could not be detected in the infected MOLT-4 cells, suggesting that the viral replication was blocked in the early stage of virus life-cycle. Furthemore, it was demonstrated that infectious virus was rescued by treatment of the infected MOLT-4 cells with a phorbol ester (TPA).2.Three specific pathogen-free cats experimentally infected with FIV subtypes A (Petaluma strain) and B (TM1 and TM2 strains) respectively were observed for over 8 years. The cat infected with FIV subtype A died with hemoperitoneum at 8 years and 8 months post-infection (p.i.), while those with FIV subtype B are st … More ill clinically healthy over 9 years p.i.. In persistent infection of FIV,the difference of pathogenicity among subtypes and the environment where animals kept were suggested to be important factors to develop AIDS.3.Marek's disease virus (MDV) can be serologically and genetically devided into 3 serotypes and all cause persistent infection in chickens. MDV-1 is oncogenic whereas MDV-2 is non-oncogenic. To understand the mechanisms of persistent infection and oncogenicity at genetic levels, we sequenced over 90% of MDV-2 genome.4.The immediate-early (IE) gene products of herpesviruses are thought to play an important role in regulating latent infection. We demonstrated that feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) produced a single immediate-early (IE) transcript encoding FHV-1 ICP4 and that FHV-1 ICP4 gene was alternatively regulated by the two promoters. Furthermore, it was shown that a negative regulatory element, which was composed of a 20 bp direct repeat unit, was located between the two promoters.5.A persistently infected B95a cell line with the Yanaka strain of CDV was established. The virus recovered from this carrier culture has infectivity to fresh B95a cells, and causes persistent infection without showing CPE.This virus was designated as the Yanaka-BP strain. Immunoprecipitation revealed identical molecular mass of the H or F proteins of the Yanaka and Yanaka-BP strains. Sequence analysis of the F gene showed that the third in-frame ATG triplet which considered to be selectively required for in vitro translation of the Onderstepoort F gene was lacked in the Yanaka-BP strain.

在持续感染的情况下，尽管存在免疫力，病毒仍可以隐藏在体内并逃避免疫压力，但有时病毒会在宿主体内重新激活并产生疾病。1.我们建立了体外模型。使用人 T 淋巴细胞系 (MOLT-4) 持续感染猫免疫缺陷病毒 (FIV)，在受感染的 MOLT-4 细胞中无法检测到 FIV 特异性 RNA 表达，这表明病毒复制在人 T 淋巴细胞系 (MOLT-4) 中被阻断。的早期阶段此外，还证明，用佛波酯 (TPA) 处理受感染的 MOLT-4 细胞可以拯救感染性病毒。2. 实验感染 FIV A 亚型（Petaluma 株）的三只无特定病原体的猫。和B（TM1和TM2毒株）分别观察了8年多，感染FIV A亚型的猫在感染后8年和8个月因腹腔积血死亡。 (p.i.)，而FIV B亚型的患者在感染后9年以上临床健康状况不佳。在FIV持续感染中，亚型间致病性的差异和动物饲养环境的差异是导致艾滋病发生的重要因素。 3.马立克氏病病毒（MDV）可在血清学和遗传学上分为3个血清型，所有血清型都会引起鸡的持续感染，而MDV-1则具有致癌性。 MDV-2 是非致癌性的。为了在基因水平上了解持续感染和致癌性的机制，我们对超过 90% 的 MDV-2 基因组进行了测序。4. 疱疹病毒的立即早期 (IE) 基因产物被认为发挥着重要作用。我们证明猫疱疹病毒 1 型 (FHV-1) 产生编码 FHV-1 ICP4 的单一立即早期 (IE) 转录本，并且 FHV-1 ICP4此外，两个启动子之间存在一个由20 bp同向重复单元组成的负调控元件。5.Yanaka株持续感染的B95a细胞系。确定从该载体培养物中回收的病毒对新鲜的B95a细胞具有感染性，并且引起持续感染而不显示CPE。该病毒被指定为Yanaka-BP株，显示相同的分子。 Yanaka 和 Yanaka-BP 菌株的 H 或 F 蛋白质量对 F 基因的序列分析表明，在 Onderstepoort F 基因的体外翻译中缺少被认为是选择性需要的第三个框内 ATG 三联体。 Yanaka-BP 菌株较少。
