To better understand the factors that determine the potency of HIV-1specific CTL responses, this study directly investigated the relationship between different functional attributes associated with CTL response at the single cell level by using HIV-1specific CTL clones isolated in vitro. Twelve selected HIV-1CTL clones with various HLA restriction and specific antigen epitopes were comprehensively evaluated by several functional assays(e.g., killing capacity, degranulation, production of multiple cytokines and polyfunctionality, as well as the expression of lytic granule components and exhaustion molecules).Our principal findings were that the killing capacity of the CTL response was most closely associated with their degranulation capacity. Additionally, the killing and the degranulation capacity of CTL was associated with the levels and polyfunctionality of the cytokines secreted later.

HEV is transmitted primarily via the fecal-oral route while direct evidence for blood-borne transmission has been reported. So the risk of blood transfusion safety caused by HEV has been widely paid attention. Here, we aim to provide some references to HEV screening for blood donors through analyzing the existing diagnostic methods for HEV, which are of great significance for the prevention and control of HEV infection. Currently, the primary detection indexes for HEV primarily include HEV RNA,HEV antigen, anti-HEV IgM, and anti-HEV IgG. HEV RNA testing is considered to be the \"gold standard\" for the detection of HEV infection. This test takes advantage of patients with chronic Hepatitis E, immunosuppressed people, and patients with nonhepatic manifestations of hepatitis E.HEV antigen testing is regarded as a current infection index for HEV, which could be used to detect HEV in blood donors and diagnose acute HEV infection. Anti-HEV IgM is a mark of HEV recent infection, but not a single index to diagnose a current infection with HEV. Anti-HEV IgG indicates that HEV was the previous infection, and it is not suitable to diagnose acute HEV infection. At present, blood donors screening for HEV were mainly based on nucleic acid detection, and an antigen test possibly could cover its’ shortage. To confirm the value of the antigen and antibody tests for blood donor screening, further studies are required in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":8776,"journal":{"name":"Bing du xue bao = Chinese journal of virology","volume":"32 3","pages":"385-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36276198","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}
