Cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with Huntington disease (HD) and age-matched controls were tested for susceptibility to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and transformation by Kirsten mouse sarcoma virus (KiMSV). The HD and control cells could not be distinguished on the basis of viral replication, plaque morphology, virus yield, or susceptibility to transformation by KiMSV. These findings suggest that the HD gene product, if expressed within peripheral tissue, does not selectively alter or interfere with viral replication.
对亨廷顿病(HD)患者及年龄匹配的对照者的培养皮肤成纤维细胞进行了检测,以确定其对水疱性口炎病毒(VSV)的易感性以及被 Kirsten 小鼠肉瘤病毒(KiMSV)转化的情况。基于病毒复制、噬斑形态、病毒产量或对 KiMSV 转化的易感性,无法区分 HD 细胞和对照细胞。这些发现表明,HD 基因产物如果在外周组织中表达,并不会选择性地改变或干扰病毒复制。
