Molecular characterization of Jurkat cells persistently infected with vaccinia virus mutant vp811.

Abstract:

:Previous reports from this laboratory demonstrated that persistent infections could be established in Jurkat cells with wild-type vaccinia virus (Jvac). The infected cells elicit increased expression of IL-2, IL-2Ralpha and IL-6 but not of IL-1beta nor of interferon-gamma. The persistently infected cells are also capable to transactivate the LTR gene of HIV-1 virus (HIV-1LTR). In addition, NFkappabeta and NFAT are found activated in Jvac. To find out whether the gene(s) responsible for establishment, maintenance and molecular characteristics of persistently infected cells are located in the terminal ends of the molecule, Jurkat cells were infected with a deletion mutant Vp811 that lacks 32.7 and 14.9 kb at the left and right terminal, respectively. The results indicate that the deletion mutant is capable of establishing persistent infections. The persistently infected cells show a similar pattern of expression to that observed in Jvac cells. It is concluded that the viral gene(s) involved in persistence and molecular cellular changes is (are) present in the mutant.

  • Effects of varying concentrations of bleach on in vitro HIV-1 replication and the relevance to injection drug use.

    abstract::The use of bleach (hypochlorite) as a disinfectant for drug injection equipment in the intravenous-drug-using population was recommended early in the HIV-1/AIDS epidemic. Epidemiological studies have challenged the use of bleach as an effective measure to prevent HIV-1 transmission. However, in vitro HIV-1 coculture s...
