The aim of the present work is to investigate the expression of HLA class I antigen and intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2) on the surface of human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVEC) after infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The expression of HLA class I antigen and ICAM-2 were determined (using antibodies against HLA class I antigen and ICAM-2) by attachment inhibition assay and flow cytometric analysis. Attachment inhibition assay demonstrated that HCMV increased the expression of HLA class I antigen. This was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis, which showed an increase in HLA class I antigen expression on HCMV-infected HUVEC. The results of the expression of ICAM-2 using attachment inhibition assay revealed that ICAM-2 is involved significantly in the increased adhesion of T lymphocytes to HCMV-infected HUVEC. However, flow cytometric analysis revealed that there were no changes in the expression of ICAM-2 on HCMV-infected HUVEC. One possible explanation for this is that HCMV induces the activation of ICAM-2 on the surface of HCMV-infected endothelial cells without affecting its expression.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

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.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D014470 Umbilical Cord The flexible rope-like structure that connects a developing FETUS to the PLACENTA in mammals. The cord contains blood vessels which carry oxygen and nutrients from the mother to the fetus and waste products away from the fetus. Cord, Umbilical,Cords, Umbilical,Umbilical Cords
