摘要目的 通过测定和分析我国HIV-1 CRF07_BC毒株Tat蛋白第一外显子的基因序列预测其CTL表位的分布情况.方法 236份来自第3次全国HIV分子流行病学调查中感染CRF07_BC毒株的患者的血浆样本,应用巢式聚合酶链反应(nested-PeR)扩增tat基因第一外显子基因区并测序,使用BIMAS HLA Peptide Binding Predictions在线软件和统计学软件对CTL表位进行预测分析.结果 236份CRF07_BC毒株来自16个省份,主要为静脉吸毒传播(58.9%),其次为性传播(25.0%).236条CRF07_BC Tat蛋白第一外显子区共分布有12种CTL表位,主要分布于脯氨酸富集区、半胱氨酸富集区和疏水核心区,碱性区和谷氨酰胺富集区没有发现已知的CTL表位分布,这些表位主要受5种HLA基因型(A * 2501、A * 2902、B * 15、B * 5301和Cw * 1203)以及6种HLA血清型(B53、B58、B57、A3、A68和Cw12)限制,其中5种表位的单氨基酸变异频率大于50%.结论 我国HIV-1 CRF07_BC毒株Tat蛋白第一外显子CTL表位分布于不同功能区,并且存在氨基酸变异.

abstractsObjective To predict the CTL epitopes of Tat exon 1 region in HIV-1 CRF07_BC strains, which were prevailing in China. Methods Total of 236 plasma samples were from the 3rd National HIV Molecular Epidemic Survey (NMES3). All the subjects were infected with HIV-1 CRF07_BC viruses. The tat exon 1 region was amplified by reverse transcription reaction and nested polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR), then the PCR products were sequenced. The distribution of CTL epitopes of this region were predicted by on-line software BIMAS HLA Peptide Binding Predictions and statistics software. Results To-tal of 236 CRF07_BC strains were from 16 provinces, mainly in intravenous drug asers(58.9%)and then sex(25.0%). It was showed that there were 12 CTL epitopes of 236 Tat exon 1 region of CRF07_BC strains mainly located in proline-rich region, cysteine-rich region and core-region. Those epitopes were banded by 5 HLA presenting molecules in genotype(A * 2501 ,A * 2902, B * 15,B * 5301 and Cw * 1203) and 6 HLA presenting molecules in serotype (B53, B58 ,B57 ,A3 ,A68 and Cw12). The frequency of single amino acid substitution was more than 50% in 7 CTL epitopes. Conclusion The CTL epitopes in Tat exon 1 of CRF07 _BC strains were located in different functional regions, and there were some amino acid variations in them.
