Patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated dissorders usually demonstrate evidence of immunosupression during active disease. Sera of some patients with EBV-induced infectious mononucleosis (IM), contain an IgG-blocking factor (IM-IgG) which inhibits in vitro cell-mediated immune responses and which we postulate plays an important role in viral immunosuppression. We had shown earlier that Isoprinosine (an immunostimulator) has a counterinhibitory effect on this IM-IgG activity. Here we describe evidence showing for the first time that the immunosuppressive activity of IM-IgG is aimed at inhibition of interleukin-2 (IL-2) synthesis and does not affect IL-2 receptors.
患有爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)相关疾病的患者在疾病活动期通常表现出免疫抑制的证据。一些患有EBV诱导的传染性单核细胞增多症(IM)的患者血清中含有一种IgG阻断因子(IM-IgG),它能抑制体外细胞介导的免疫反应,我们推测它在病毒免疫抑制中起重要作用。我们之前已经表明,异丙肌苷(一种免疫刺激剂)对这种IM-IgG活性有抗抑制作用。在此我们首次描述了证据,表明IM-IgG的免疫抑制活性旨在抑制白细胞介素-2(IL-2)的合成,而不影响IL-2受体。
