Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for two surface glycoproteins of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were found to enhance RSV infection in two macrophagelike cell lines (P388D1 and THP-1). MAbs to an irrelevant antigen (pneumococcal polysaccharide) and to the nucleocapsid of RSV did not enhance infection. Blocking either the Fc segment of the monoclonal antibody of the Fc receptor on the cells diminished the enhancement, suggesting that this phenomenon involves attachment of the monoclonal antibody to the virus followed by attachment of the Fc of this complex to the Fc receptor on the cells. These data indicate that antibody-mediated enhancement of RSV infection can occur in vitro in macrophages. This enhancement may contribute to the pathogenesis of RSV bronchiolitis and the more severe RSV disease seen in recipients of formalin-inactivated RSV vaccine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D012136 Respiratory Syncytial Viruses A group of viruses in the PNEUMOVIRUS genus causing respiratory infections in various mammals. Humans and cattle are most affected but infections in goats and sheep have also been reported.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
