Objective To investigate whether there are correlation among changes of Treg/Th17 ratio with virological response and serological re?sponse in patients with hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)?positive chronic hepatitis B(CHB)after receiving entecavir. Methods 27 patients with HBeAg?positive CHB were enrolled for the study. Peripheral blood Treg cell frequency and Th17 cell frequency,HBV DNA,alanine aminotransfer?ase levels,hepatitis B virus marker were detected before and after entecavir treatment at 4,12,24,36,and 48 weeks. Peripheral blood Treg cell frequency and Th17 cell frequency of 20 healthy volunteers were detected as well. Results Treg/Th17 ratio of patients decreased from 4 week and reached the lowest point at 12 weeks. Treg/Th17 ratio(12 weeks)of the patients who got the early virological response and HBeAg disappeared was lower than others,and the difference was statistical significant. Conclusion Treg/Th17 ratio changes in HBeAg?positive CHB patients receiv?ing entecavir antiviral treatment. Treg/Th17 ratio(12 weeks)showed significant correlation with early virological response and HBeAg disappear?ance. The changes of Treg/Th17 ratio may provide a reference of curative effect.

To compare the difference in tumor immunity and autoimmunity elicited by adenovirus (Ad) encoding human or murine tyrosinase-related protein 2 (AdhTRP2 or AdmTRP2), and to find the most effective way to induce immunity by AdhTRP2 or AdmTRP2, C57BL/6 mice were immunized with AdhTRP2 or AdmTRP2 intramuscularly at different doses of 10(5), 10(6), 10(7) and 10(8) separately (10 mice for each dose). Two weeks after the immunization, in vivo CTL assay and intracellular staining (ICS) of IFN-gamma were carried out to analyze the dose-effect relationship. Tumor growth and vitiligo (as an sign of autoimmunity) were observed until 3 months after challenge with 10(5) B16F10 tumor cells. The results showed that Ad encoding AdmTrp2 induced weak tumor immune response. Similar immunization with AdhTrp-2 elicited stronger protective immunity. CTL activity and IFN-gamma-produced CD8+T cells were directly proportional to dose of AdhTrp2 or AdmTrp2. Moreover, AdhTrp2 group showed tumor rejection in 100% of challenged mice till the end of 3rd month while 60% of mice immunized with AdmTrp2 were protected against tumor. In the whole process of this experiment, no vitiligo was observed in mice immunized either with AdhTrp2 or AdmTrp2. It is concluded that anti-melanoma responses induced by genetic vaccination expressing xenoantigens breaks immune tolerance effectively and is able to elicit strong antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell response without vitiligo.

The expression of CD(8) (+)CD(25) (+)FoxP(3) (+) regulatory T cells (CD(8) (+)Tregs) in the peripheral blood of patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the effect of muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist tiotropium bromide on the expression of CD(8) (+)Tregs were investigated. Twenty-three patients with moderate to severe stable COPD were enrolled in this study. All patients inhaled tiotropium bromide (18 μg daily) for 3 months. Before and after inhalation of tiotropium bromide, peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients, and T cells were labeled by three-color labeled monoclonal antibodies. Flow cytometry was used to detect the quantity and percentage of CD(8) (+)T cells, CD(8) (+)CD(25) (+)T cells, CD(8) (+)Tregs, CD(4) (+)T cells, CD(4) (+)CD(25) (+)T cells and CD(4) (+)CD(25) (+)FoxP(3) (+) regulatory T cells (CD(4) (+)Tregs) respectively. The percentage of CD(4) (+)T cells was increased from (27.82±2.18)% to (35.53±1.3)% (t=3.20, P=0.004) in the peripheral blood of patients with stable COPD after inhalation of tiotropium bromide for 3 months, that of CD(4) (+)CD(25) (+)T cells was decreased from (10.03 ±1.42)% to (4.21 ±0.65)% (t=3.78, P=0.001), and that of CD(8) (+)Tregs was increased from (8.41 ±1.68)% to (21.34 ±4.20)% (t=2.72, P=0.013). At baseline, CD(8) (+)T cells, CD(8) (+)CD(25) (+)T cells and CD(4) (+)Tregs were detectable in the peripheral blood, but no significant changes were observed after treatment. Linear correlation analysis revealed that the difference before and after treatment in CD(4) (+)T cells and CD(4) (+)CD(25) (+)T cells was negatively correlated with the ratio of change in CD(8) (+)Tregs before and after treatment (r=-0.61, P=0.013; r=-0.72, P=0.001 respectively). In the peripheral blood of patients with stable COPD, there was the expression of CD(8) (+)Tregs and CD(4) (+)Tregs. Muscarinic receptor antagonist, tiotropium bromide, can promote the amplification of CD(4) (+)T cells, inhibit the expression of CD(25) (+)T cells, and enhance the expression of CD(8) (+)Tregs. CD(8) (+)Tregs and CD(4) (+)Tregs can be used as new indicators to understand the immune status of patients. They are helpful in judging the treatment efficacy and disease immunophenotype.

OBJECTIVEA novel human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA-B) allele, B*9526, was identified and analyzed by sequencing-based method in a Chinese donor.
METHODSHLA typing was performed by PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO). Molecular cloning and DNA sequencing were used to identify the sequence of the potential novel allele and the difference between this new allele and other known alleles were analyzed.
RESULTSHLA genotyping of one sample gave different results. The sequencing result showed HLA-B alleles of the proband as B*5403 and a novel allele. The nucleotide sequence of the novel allele was different from all known B alleles and harbored one nucleotide change from the closest matching allele B*1507 at nucleotide 425 (A to G) in exon 3, resulting in an amino acid change from Y (TAC) to C (TGC) at codon 142.
CONCLUSIONA novel HLA allele was identified and officially designated as HLA-B*9526 by WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System.
