The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients acutely infected with HBV and recovered completely (n = 20), patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB)- (n = 10) and HBsAg-positive carriers (n = 9) and healthy individuals (n = 8) were studied for their in vitro proliferative response to a synthetic pre-S1(20-49)x4 antigen. PBMCs from convalescents showed significant proliferative response in the presence of synthetic pre-S1 antigen. PBMCs from CHB- and HBsAg-positive exhibited reduced proliferative response not only to Pre-S1 antigen but also to nonspecific mitogens. This study suggests that the immune recognition of pre-S1 antigen and response of PBMCs to the pre-S1 antigen may be an important part of the normal human response to HBV infection. Failure to clear the HBV infection with development of the chronic carrier state may be caused by the lack of an efficient pre-S1 antigen-specific response.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

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.
