In HIV-1-infected individuals, Fas expression and Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis of mature T cells are known to increase compared with those in normal individuals. To elucidate a relation between acute HIV-1 infection and the regulation of Fas/FasL system upon T-cell activation, resting CD4+ T cells were acutely infected or uninfected with HIV-1 and subsequently activated by phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin (PMA/IM). Four days after infection, when HIV-1 env gp120 is expressed in more than one half of activated T cells, Fas/FasL expression was analyzed by flow cytometry, and apoptosis-inducing activity of these activated primary CD4+ T cells on Fas+ Jurkat cells was examined. The level of Fas or FasL expression was not altered during acute HIV-1 infection. The enhanced apoptosis-inducing activity upon HIV-1 infection was observed in some individuals, but its activity was not Fas/FasL-mediated. These results indicate that HIV-1 infection is not necessarily associated with either upregulation of Fas/FasL expression or Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules. Mononuclear Leukocyte,Mononuclear Leukocytes,PBMC Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Human Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Leukocyte, Mononuclear
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
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.

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.
