The six wells of CEF inoculated with NX0101 were divided into groups A (without anti-ALV-J serum in the medium); B (with anti-ALV-J serum in the medium), then viruses from each well of both groups were separately passed in CEF every 6 d; formed their independent passage lineages. For each lineage of both groups, gp85 genes of the viruses in the 10th, 20th; 30th passages were amplified, cloned; sequenced. The sequence data indicated that the homologies of gp85 at aa level between the primary virus; the passed viruses of different passages of 3 lineages in group A were 97.7%–99.7%;; the homologies of gp85 between the primary virus; the passed viruses of different passages of 3 lineages in group B were 93.8%–96.1%. Analysis of the ratios of nonsynonium (NS) vs synonium (S) mutations of nucleic acids demonstrated that NS/S in 3 highly variable (hr-) regions at aa#110–120, aa#141–151; aa#189–194 of gp85 in 3 lineages of group A were 2 (8/4), 1(3/3); 1.3 (4/3), however, NS/S in the same 3 hr-regions of group B were 4.1 (13/3), 4.7 (14/3); 3.3 (11/3). This study is the first demonstration of influence of immune selective pressure on evolution of ALV-J gp85 by specific antibodies under the controlled in vitro experiments.展开更多

Thelimitations of such treatment have underscored the need to develop more effective strategies to control thespread and pathogenesis of HIV. Typically, naturally occurring protective immune responses provide theparadigm for such development. It is now clear however that HIV can utilise the millieu of an activatedimmune system to its own replicative advantage. Mobilisation of the immune response, intended to thwartof HIV contributes to lack of immune control and the development of progressive disease in the majority ofinfected, untreated individuals. Further delineation of the intimate interactions between the HIV and theimmune system will be critical and recent advances in this direction are discussed.展开更多
