To evaluate the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class 1 (HLA-A and HLA-B) and HLA class 2 (HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1) allele profiles in the susceptibility to cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV-R) in patients with AIDS.
Cytomegalovirus retinitis was clinically diagnosed by indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy. Human leucocyte antigens class 1 were typed using a complement-dependent microlymphocytotoxicity assay, and HLA class 2 alleles were identified using amplified DNA hybridized to sequence-specific oligonucleotide primers.
The frequencies of HLA class 1 antigens and HLA class 2 alleles observed in patients and controls were similar; however, HLA-A31 antigen was over-represented in patients with AIDS, independent of the presence of CMV-R.
There was no association between HLA molecules/alleles and CMV-R in Brazilian patients with AIDS. However, the results support the role of the HLA system in the susceptibility to developing AIDS.
评估人类白细胞抗原(HLA)I类(HLA - A和HLA - B)及HLA II类(HLA - DRB1和HLA - DQB1)等位基因谱在艾滋病患者巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎(CMV - R)易感性中的作用。
通过间接双眼检眼镜进行巨细胞病毒性视网膜炎的临床诊断。使用补体依赖的微量淋巴细胞毒性试验对HLA I类抗原进行分型,使用与序列特异性寡核苷酸引物杂交的扩增DNA鉴定HLA II类等位基因。
患者和对照组中观察到的HLA I类抗原和HLA II类等位基因频率相似;然而,HLA - A31抗原在艾滋病患者中过度表达,与CMV - R的存在无关。
在巴西艾滋病患者中,HLA分子/等位基因与CMV - R之间无关联。然而,结果支持HLA系统在艾滋病易感性中的作用。
