Anti-HTLV-III and anti-HTLV-I antibodies and T cell subsets in hemophiliacs living in HTLV-I endemic and nonendemic areas of Japan.

Abstract:

:Sera from 154 hemophiliacs, including 132 with hemophilia A and 22 with hemophilia B, were examined for antibodies against human T cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) and type I by strip radioimmunoassay based on the Western blotting technique. Sixty-two patients lived in Kyushu, a known endemic area of HTLV-I and 92 patients lived in Tokyo, a nonendemic area of HTLV-I. Results showed a prevalence of HTLV-III antibodies of 64.5% in Kyushu and of 57.6% in Tokyo. There were no significant differences between these two groups. Helper/suppressor (T4/T8) ratios of seropositive patients were 0.69 +/- 0.41 and those of seronegative patients were 1.05 +/- 0.56. Ratios of both groups were lower than those of normal healthy people (1.35 +/- 0.45). Our findings confirmed that hemophiliacs living in an HTLV-I endemic area and those living in a nonendemic area in Japan equally possessed antibodies to HTLV-III. Low T4/T8 ratios and increases of serum IgG and IgM levels were found even in seronegative hemophiliacs.

  • Characterization of a diester lipase activity in human erythrocytes.

    abstract::A diester lipase activity is described in human red blood cells (RBC). Diester lipase activity acts as a membrane-bound enzyme and is assayed using intact RBC as the enzyme source. An emulsion of di-[3H]-oleoylglycerol (0.6 mM) serves as the substrate. The optimum pH for the reaction is 7.8 at 37 degrees C. Lipolytic ...
