The range and specificity of the humoral immune response to HIV-1 subtypes B and E was investigated in Thai samples. Sera from HIV-1-positive subjects, consisting of subtypes B (n = 24) and E (n = 138), were characterized in relation to the neutralization of primary isolates and T-cell line-adapted (TCLA) strains and binding to monomeric gp120, the CD4/gp120 binding site (BS), and V3 peptides. A subtype-specific pattern of antibody binding was observed with the exception of the CD4/gp 120MN BS. Neutralization of TCLA strains (n = 4) was strongly type-specific (p = .002); however, neutralization of primary isolates (n = 8) was weak and group specific. Thus, the subtype specificity of B and E sera in the neutralization of TCLA strains, but not primary isolates, supports the dominance of the V3 region in TCLA virus neutralization but does not support the distinction of subtypes B and E as discrete neutralization serotypes in Thailand.
在泰国样本中研究了针对HIV-1 B亚型和E亚型的体液免疫反应的范围和特异性。对来自HIV-1阳性受试者的血清进行了特征分析,这些血清包括B亚型(n = 24)和E亚型(n = 138),分析内容涉及对原始分离株和T细胞系适应株(TCLA)的中和作用以及与单体gp120、CD4/gp120结合位点(BS)和V3肽的结合情况。除了CD4/gp120MN BS外,观察到了抗体结合的亚型特异性模式。对TCLA毒株(n = 4)的中和作用具有很强的型特异性(p = .002);然而,对原始分离株(n = 8)的中和作用较弱且具有组特异性。因此,B亚型和E亚型血清在中和TCLA毒株而非原始分离株方面的亚型特异性,支持了V3区域在TCLA病毒中和中的主导地位,但不支持将B亚型和E亚型区分为泰国不同的中和血清型。
