| Research Abstract |
About 250 human sera were collected, and they were analyzed by enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that about 20 sera were positive for human parainfluenza type 4 virus (HPIV-4). The same sera had neutralization activity against HPIV-4. However, it was impossible to distinguish whether the sera inhibited HPIV-4A or 4B growth. To analyze whether the infection was caused by HPIV-4A or 4B,we established L929 cell lines which express HN proteins of HPIV-4A or 4B,because there was a big antigenic difference between HPIV-4A and 4B HN proteins. The identification is now in progress.
To elucidate the cause of the antigenic difference between HPIV-4A and 4B,3 mutated clones of 4B HN gene were constructed, and we established L929 cell lines which express the mutated HN proteins of HPIV-4B.The antigenicity was analyzed by flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies against HPIV-4, and it was indicated that the sugar binding sites may in part contribute to the antigenic difference between HPIV-4A an 4B HN proteins.
