简介:背景:慢性荨麻疹是一种临床常见病,发病机制不明,对治疗可能有抵抗性。最近的研究主要集中在自身免疫方面。目的:研究土耳其慢性寻常型荨麻疹(COU,非物理性、血管炎性或接触性)患者的HLAⅠ类抗原和Ⅱ类抗原并识别易感的HLA抗原。方法:应用两阶段微滴淋巴细胞毒性试验研究55例诊断为COU患者的HLA抗原,设立104例无遗传相关性的健康个体作为对照。结果:研究组HLABw4及HLADQ1抗原显著高于对照组(分别为OR2.93,95%CI1.47~5.85,P=0.003及OR7.81,95%CI1.96~28.50,P=0.001),而HLA-A24抗原在对照组中较高(OR0.36,95%C10.15~0.86,P=0.03)。结论:作者提出土耳其人群中HLA-Bw4及HLADQ1抗原可能导致对COU易感,而HLA-A24抗原则可能起保护作用。

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。
