简介:目的研究单纯疱疹病毒2型(HSV-2)对人单核细胞表达HLA-Ⅱ类抗原(HLA—DR、HLA-DQ)的影响,探讨单核细胞及HLA-Ⅱ类抗原在单纯疱疹病毒2型感染中的作用。方法用单纯疱疹病毒2型(333株)感染人单核细胞,于感染后1、3、5、7天分别收集细胞,用APAAP法检洲单核细胞HLA—DR、HLA-DQ表达水平。结果单纯疱疹病毒2型感染后1天,单核细胞表达HLA-KR、HLA—DQ抗原水平明显降低,以后逐渐升高,至7天达到对照组水平。结论单纯疱疹病毒2型感染早期能抑制单核细胞表达HLA—Ⅱ类抗原,HSV-2抑制单核细胞表达HLA-Ⅱ类抗原可能是HSV-2入侵机体的手段之。HLA-Ⅱ类抗原在单纯疱疹病毒2型致病及免疫过程中可能起重要作用。
