Investigation of IL-2 and IFN-γ to EBV Peptides in Stimulated Whole Blood among Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Healthy Individuals.
Introduction: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a double-stranded DNA virus, has 2 phases of lytic and latent infection in host cells. After infecting B lymphocytes, EBV becomes persistent in these cells. In healthy individuals, T lymphocytes play a key role in killing EBV-infected B cells. Statistical studies have shown that symptomatic EBV infection increases the risk of MS.
Methods: This study intended to measure the immune system's response against the different components of EBV, focusing particularly on T lymphocytes' reaction. Consequently, the mRNA level of IL-2 and IFN-γ, liable for impressing autoimmune diseases and as indicators of T-cell function, was compared in EBNA1- and BRLF1-treated whole blood (WB) cultures of 10 healthy individuals and 10 MS patients using real-time RT-PCR.
Results: The analysis of the results demonstrated a significant increased level of IL-2 in MS patients than healthy subjects after exposure to both peptides. Also, the mRNA level of IFN-γ increased in MS patients in EBNA1-treated WB culture.
Conclusion: According to the study's results, EBV peptides can reactivate immune cells, especially T lymphocytes, and may indirectly induce inflammation and develop MS; however, it seems that long-time exposure to these peptides has reducing effect on T-cell function and faces the control of infected B lymphocytes with difficulties.
期刊介绍:
''Intervirology'' covers progress in both basic and clinical virus research, and aims to provide a forum for the various disciplines within virology. Issues publishing original papers alternate with thematic issues, focusing on clearly defined topics. This thematic concentration serves to make timely reviews, research reports and controversy easily accessible to both specialists in the field and those who want to keep track of the latest developments outside their own area of interest. In addition to original papers, regular issues publish short communications and letters to the editor to provide readers with a forum for the exchange of ideas and comments. The scope encompasses work on the molecular biology of human and animal viruses, including genome organization and regulation, and the structure and function of viral proteins. The pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis, epidemiology, prophylaxis and therapy of viral diseases are considered.
