| 1 | Flow cytometric detection of hepatitis C virus antigens in infected peripheral blood leukocytes: Binding and entry显示文摘AIM: We designed two synthetic-core-specific peptides core 1 (C1) and core 2 (C2), and an E1-specific peptide (E1). We produced specific polyclonal antibodies againstthese peptides and used the antibodies for detection of HCV antigens on surface and within infected peripheral blood leukocytes.METHODS: Peripheral blood from a healthy individual who tested negative for HCV RNA was incubated with HCV type 4 infected serum for 1 h and 24 h at 37 ℃. Cells were stained by direct and indirect immunofluorescence and measured by flow cytometry.RESULTS: After 1 h of incubation, antibodies against C1,C2, and E1 detected HCV antigens on the surface of 27%,26% and 73% of monocytes respectively, while 10%, 5% and 9% of lymphocytes were positive with anti-C1, anti-C2 and anti-E1 respectively. Only 1-3% of granulocytes showed positive staining with anti-C1, anti-C2 and anti E1 antibodies. After 24 h of incubation, we found no surface staining with anti-C1, anti-C2 or anti-E1. Direct immunostaining using anti-C2 could not detect intracellular HCV antigens, after 1 h of incubation with the virus, while after 24 h of incubation, 28% of infected cells showed positive staining. Only plus strand RNA was detectable intracellularly as early as 1 h after incubation, and remained detectable throughout 48 h post-infection.Interestingly, minus RNA strand could not be detected after 1 h, but became strongly detectable intracellularly after 24 h post-infection.CONCLUSION: Monocytes and lymphocytes are the preferred target cells for HCV infection in peripheral blood leukocytes. Our specific anti-core and anti-E1 antibodies are valuable reagents for demonstration of HCV cell cycle.Also, HCV is capable of infecting and replicating in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as confirmed by detection of minus strand HCV RNA as well as intracellular staining of core HCV antigen. | Mostafa K El-Awady Ashraf A Tabll El-Rashdy M Redwan Samar Youssef Moataza H Omran Fouad Thakeb Maha El-Demellawy | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，33： | 4 |
| 2 | Evaluation of liver tissue by polymerase chain reaction for hepatitis B virus in patients with negative viremia显示文摘AIM: To assess the clinical significance of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA localization in the liver tissue of patients with positive HBsAg and negative viremia.METHODS: HBV virological parameters of 33 HBsAg positive chronic hepatitis patients, including seromarkers and HBV DNA amplification in both sera and liver biopsies, were evaluated.RESULTS: Ten patients had negative viremia and positive HBV DNA in their liver biopsies. Most of them had HBeAg-negative/HBeAb-positive chronic hepatitis.Their liver biochemical and histopathological profiles were different from the viremic patients. Their disease pattern was designated as 'hepatitis B in situ'.CONCLUSION: Hepatitis B in situ is a consequential entity which can be missed in clinical practice. It is a new clinical pattern of chronic HBV infection that considers HBV in liver biopsy and adds a new indication for antiviral therapy. | Fouad Thakeb Magdy El-Serafy Soheir Zakaria Bahaa Monir Sahar Lashin Raghda Marzaban Mostafa El-Awady | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，43： | 0 |
