Further analysis showed that
wild type HIV - 1 tends to integrate itself into or near genes affecting
CD4 + T cell activation and metabolism more frequently than does the mutant strain.
To determine whether ZFN - mediated disruption of cxcr4 indeed protects
CD4 + T cells from an in vitro HIV challenge, human
CD4 + T cells from three different ccr5
wild type donors were stimulated and transduced with AdX4 - ZFNs or an AdR5 - ZFNs control.
Thus, treatment with X4 - ZFNs of both
wild -
type and ccr5Δ32
CD4 + T cells confers stable cxcr4 disruption and a marked survival advantage in the presence of R5X4 - HIV and X4 - HIV in vitro without any detectable effect on cell growth or viability in the absence of HIV.
A greater percentage of Themis - deficient T cells had
CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + regulatory and CD62LloCD44hi memory phenotypes than did
wild -
type T cells.
The present findings are derived from studies using
CD4KO mice and thus, raise the question as to whether the
CD4 + T cell - independent immune mechanisms in
CD4 KO mice differ from those involved in corneal allograft rejection in
wild -
type mice whose
CD4 + T cells population have been depleted with monoclonal antibodies.
Histopathological examination of rejected corneal allografts in
CD4 KO mice revealed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate containing large numbers of neutrophils and mononuclear cells, which was indistinguishable from the infiltrate seen in rejected corneal allografts in
wild -
type mice (data not shown).
The results indicated that 54 % (38/70) of the BALB / c corneal allografts underwent rejection in the
CD4 KO hosts, while 100 % of the grafts were rejected in
wild -
type C57BL / 6 mice (Figure 1).
In HeLa
CD4 + cell assay this virus has an IC50 value for ddI and ddC around 6 - 10 fold that of the
wild type parental virus HXB2.
In HeLa
CD4 + cell assay this virus has an IC50 value for 3TC and FTC around 1000 fold that of the
wild type parental virus HXB2.
In HeLa
CD4 + cell assay this virus has an IC50 value for AZT around 60 - 70 fold that of the
wild type parental virus HXB2.
MEFs from Brctx - deficient embryos grow at a similar rate to
wild -
type MEF
CD4 / CD8 expressions, and the cell cycle parameters of thymocytes from
wild -
type and Brctx knockout animals are indistinguishable.
Using both
wild -
type and immunocompromised mice, we hope to elucidate the role of dengue - specific CD8 + and
CD4 + T - cells against Zika.
