Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes AIDS-like symptoms in infected cats. Concanavalin A (ConA)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from chronically FIV strain PPR-infected cats readily expressed FIV. In contrast, when PBMC from these animals were stimulated with irradiated, autologous antigen-presenting cells (APC), at least a 10-fold drop in viral production was observed. In addition to FIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, anti-FIV activity was demonstrated in the cell-free supernatants of effector T lymphocytes stimulated with APC. The FIV-suppressive activity was induced from APC-stimulated PBMC of either FIV-infected or uninfected cats but not from ConA-stimulated PBMC. Suppression of FIV strain PPR replication was observed for both autologous and heterologous feline PBMC, was dose dependent, and demonstrated cross-reactivity and cell specificity. It was also demonstrated that the anti-FIV activity originated from CD8(+) T lymphocytes and was mediated by a noncytolytic mechanism.
猫免疫缺陷病毒(FIV)在受感染的猫中引发类似艾滋病的症状。来自长期感染FIV毒株PPR的猫的伴刀豆球蛋白A(ConA)刺激的外周血单核细胞(PBMC)很容易表达FIV。相比之下,当用经辐照的自体抗原呈递细胞(APC)刺激这些动物的PBMC时,观察到病毒产生至少下降了10倍。除了FIV特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞外,在用APC刺激的效应T淋巴细胞的无细胞上清液中也证明了抗FIV活性。FIV抑制活性是由FIV感染或未感染猫的APC刺激的PBMC诱导产生的,而不是由ConA刺激的PBMC诱导产生的。对于自体和异源猫PBMC均观察到FIV毒株PPR复制的抑制,呈剂量依赖性,并表现出交叉反应性和细胞特异性。还证明了抗FIV活性源自CD8(+) T淋巴细胞,并由非细胞溶解机制介导。
