Percent protein synthesis was calculated by measuring amino acid uptake as a percentage over internal control. Percent protein degradation was measured using a pulse chase technique. These procedures will allow researchers to determine treatment effects on overall protein synthesis and degradation in vitro in a relatively short amount of time without excessive costs. A second benefit is that animals do not have to be fed radiolabeled feedstuffs.

Most patients are poor and cannot afford repeated viral load assays. Therefore, there is a need to identify cost effective and reliable surrogate markers of disease activity. In the present study absolute number of CD4 cells, beta2 micro-globulin, circulating nucleosomes were studied in 30 patients of AIDS, 30 seropositives and 30 healthy controls. In addition viral load, P-24 assay, and TNFR-II assays were done in seropositive and AIDS patients. The mean CD4 cells in patients with AIDS were 69.66 +/- 68.25 mm3 while in seropositives values was 370 +/- 201.29 mm3. The mean CD4 cells in healthy controls were however 690 +/- 198 mm3. The differences in all the groups were highly significant (p<0.001). The mean CD4 values in Indians are significantly lower than reported from the west. The lower number of CD4 cells in healthy population is interpreted to be due to immune activation. The CD8 cell number in controls was 650 +/- 207 mm3 this figure is also higher than that observed in the west. P-24 assay failed to delineate between seropositives and patients with AIDS. Although, beta2 microglobulin levels were significantly higher in AIDS than in seropositives and higher in seropositives than in controls yet with the best possible cut off, it had a sensitivity of only 70% in delineating the two conditions. The correlation between CD4 cells and viral load was more significant when the CD4 cells were below 200 mm3. Five out of 30 patients with a CD4 of 300-600 mm3 had a viral load of over 1 x 10(5) cop/ml. The difference in TNF R-II levels between seropositives and AIDS was however more impressive. With a cut off of 550 pg/ml it had a sensitivity of 95% in delineating HIV from AIDS. It is concluded that a combination of absolute number of CD4 cells and TNF R-II assay along with clinical evaluation may be used to monitor therapy in resource poor countries where frequent viral load assay is unaffordable.</p>","PeriodicalId":80082,"journal":{"name":"Methods in cell science : an official journal of the Society for In Vitro Biology","volume":"24 1-3","pages":"107-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22444715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell lines from Spodoptera frugiperda (IPLB-Sf21AE), Lymantria dispar (IPLB-LdEIta), and Heliothis virescens (IPLB-HvE6s) in 96-well tissue culture plates were each infected with dilutions of extra cellular virus suspensions of the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). In addition, the L. dispar and H. virescens cells were also infected with L. dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus, and Helicoverpa zea nucleopolyhedrovirus, respectively. Each cell/virus combination was incubated at three temperatures: 22, 27 and 32 degrees C and wells were scored for positive infection (presence of occlusion bodies in cell nuclei) at 2 to 4 day intervals for up to 4 weeks. The resulting data were analyzed by the Spearman-Kärber method, providing virus titers for each combination of virus, cell line, and temperature. The results were categorized by accuracy (assuming the highest titer achieved was the most accurate) and by rapidity of maximum titer. AcMNPV reached the highest titer in each line at 22 degrees C although equivalent titers were reached with both AcMNPV and HzSNPV in the HvE6a line at all three temperatures. This line actually reported about 100-fold less AcMNPV than the other two lines with the same virus sample.
