Adenoviruses have mechanisms that allow persistence in lymphoid cells and immunoevasion. They downregulate major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen expression and may trigger an autoimmune reaction against MHC class II antigens through mimicry. Adenoviral persistence could be facilitated by human leukocyte antigens A2 and DR53, thereby allowing a preleukemic clone to escape immune surveillance and progress to leukemia.
腺病毒具有能够使其在淋巴细胞中持续存在并实现免疫逃逸的机制。它们会下调主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)I类抗原的表达,并且可能通过分子模拟引发针对MHC II类抗原的自身免疫反应。人类白细胞抗原A2和DR53可能会促进腺病毒的持续存在,从而使白血病前期克隆能够逃避免疫监视并发展为白血病。
