目的探讨TGF-β1对乙肝疫苗免疫应答的影响以及与HLA-DRB1*15基因的关系。方法选取完成重组乙型肝炎疫苗标准全程接种的健康大学生中抗-HBs S/N值<10 mIU/ml者77名为无、弱应答组,选取抗-HBs S/N值>10 mIU/ml 者101名为中、强应答组,应用PCR-SSP进行HLA-DRB1*15等位基因的检测,采用ELISA法检测血清中TGF-β1水平。结果①无、弱应答组的HLA-DRB1*15基因表达频率为14.29%(11/77),低于中、强应答组的28.71%(29/101)(P=0.022);②无、弱应答组中TGF-β1的平均表达水平为(24.04±14.74)ng/ml,高于中、强应答组(17.80±14.42)ng/ml;差异有统计学意义(P=0.005);③HLA-DRB1*15阳性组TGF-β1平均表达水平为(17.81±17.38)ng/ml,阴性组为(21.28±14.00)ng/ml,差异无统计学意义(P=0.194)。结论① HLA-DRB1*15基因可能是促进人群乙肝疫苗免疫应答的相关基因;②TGF-β1的表达水平可能影响机体乙肝疫苗的免疫效果;③ HLA-DRB1*15基因可能不是通过影响TGF-β1的表达水平来影响乙肝疫苗的免疫应答。
ObjectiveTo discuss the influence on the immune response of hepatitis B vaccine and dependencies with HLA-DRB1* 15 allele for TGF-β1 cytokine.Methods77 non-or-hypo-responders (anti-HBs S/N<10mIU/ml) who had received the whole standard courses of immunization with recombinant hepatitis B vaccination and 101 medium-or-hyper-responders (anti-HBs S/N>10mIU/ml) were drawn randomly for the subjects.HLA-DRB1 *15 was detected by PCR-SSP,and the level of TGF-β1 cytokines was examined by ELISA.Results①The allelic frequencies of HLA-DRB1*15 was lower in the non-or hypor-responders than that in the medium-or-hyper-responders (14.29% vs 28.71%,P=0.022); ② The expression level of TGF-β1 in the non-or-hypor-responders (24.04±14.74)ng/ml was higher than that of the medium-or-hyper- responders (17.80±14.42)ng/ml,the difference had statistical significance(P=0.005). ③ No statistical significance differences was seen between the expression level of TGF-β1 in the HLA-DRB1*15 positive (17.81±17.38)ng/ml and the negative (21.28±14.00) ng/ml (P=0.194)).Conclusions① HLA-DRB1*15 might be the allele enhanced immune response to hepatitis B vaccination. ② The level of TGF-β1 might play a role in the immune response to hepatitis B vaccination. ③ HLA-DRB1*15 might take effect in the response to hepatitis B vaccination without the expression of TGF-β1.
