Outline of Research at the Start

日本では、BLV感染によって発症する牛白血病が毎年増加の一途をたどっている。また、本感染症に対する有効なワクチンも治療法も無いため、感染させない以外対策が無いのが現状である。BLVは、ヒトTリンパ向性ウイルス1型(HTLV-1)と近縁のレトロウイルスで、感染後の病態進行経過(癌化)においても両者は極めて類似している。BLV感染後の病態進行機序を解明する事により、他の類似するレトロウイルス感染における治療法の開発つながる可能性が期待できる。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Enzootic bovine leukosis is an infectious disease caused by infection of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) belonging to Retroviridae family. Purpose of this study is to understand immunological mechanisms in which DRB3 genes have been thought to play a critical role for a protective immunity and are associated with reduction of proviral load and resistance against disease progression. Among DRB3 genes, the DRB3*009:02 allele is so far most strongly associated with the protection and its tetramer was therefore generated. The epitope mapping method using this tetramer have identified several BLV-specific T cell epitopes and made possible to analyze BLV-specific helper T cells. Although experimental infection using cattle have not been achieved by the time, the tetramer generated in this study have greatly enhanced the future opportunity to clarify the mechanisms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

牛伝染性リンパ腫ウイルス(BLV)による感染症は、ヒトT細胞白血病ウイルスI型(HTLV-1)による感染症と同様、その病態進行の機序は解明されていない。興味深い事に、BLVに感染してもDRB3*009:02アリルを保有する牛は、病態が進行しない。本研究では、このアリルの4量体(テトラマー)を作製し、これを利用してBLV特異的T細胞エピトープを同定した。牛DRB3*009:02のテトラマーが利用可能になった事で、このアリルが関与する抗原特異的防御免疫が解析できるようになった。特異的防御免疫の機序を明らかにすることは、類似する感染症の病態進行機序の解明そして治療法開発へつながることが期待できる。
