Tonsillar B lymphocytes from an asymptomatic individual infected with HIV were transformed with EBV. A cloned lymphoblastoid cell line was obtained that secreted human mAb (IgG4 subtype) against the known gag gene products of 55,000 and 25,000 Da and a protein of 40,000 Da. The latter p40 protein appears to be a HIV gag-related gene product that is also recognized immunologically by individuals infected by HIV. Although the mAb detects infection of cells by different HIV isolates, it does not neutralize HIV or show activity in an antibody-dependent cytotoxicity assay.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002461 Cell Line, Transformed Eukaryotic cell line obtained in a quiescent or stationary phase which undergoes conversion to a state of unregulated growth in culture, resembling an in vitro tumor. It occurs spontaneously or through interaction with viruses, oncogenes, radiation, or drugs/chemicals. Transformed Cell Line,Cell Lines, Transformed,Transformed Cell Lines
D004854 Herpesvirus 4, Human The type species of LYMPHOCRYPTOVIRUS, subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting B-cells in humans. It is thought to be the causative agent of INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS and is strongly associated with oral hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY;), BURKITT LYMPHOMA; and other malignancies.

D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.

D015683 Gene Products, gag Proteins coded by the retroviral gag gene. The products are usually synthesized as protein precursors or POLYPROTEINS, which are then cleaved by viral proteases to yield the final products. Many of the final products are associated with the nucleoprotein core of the virion. gag is short for group-specific antigen.
