[The clinical immunogenetics of viral hepatitis C in a Caucasoid population of western Siberia].

The analysis of the immunogenetic studies on hepatitis C patients among the Caucasoid population of western Siberia has revealed a significant increase in the detection rate of antigens HLA-A10 and HLA-DR5, the combinations of DR2-DR5, DR5-DR7, DR1-B27 and the complete absence of antigen HLA-DR4, which is indicative of the fact that susceptibility and resistance to the development of the disease is associated with the genes of the main histocompatibility complex. In hepatitis of mixed etiology, B and C, a significant increase in the occurrence of HLA antigens: -A1, -B8, -DR1 and -DR3, as well as the combinations of A1-DR1, A1-DR3, A3-DR3, A9-A10, DR1-DR3, B8-DR3 is noted; at the same time a decrease in the occurrence of antigen DR4 and its combination with antigen HLA-A2 is observed.

[Analysis of polymorphism of the interleukin-4 gene of healthy and HIV-infected persons].

The distribution of the allel variants of the promoter area (C = 590T) of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene in HIV-infected and relatively healthy representatives of the Caucasoid population has been studied. The relationship between the genotypes of this polymorphism and the production of IL-4 by mononuclear cells of peripheral blood as well as distribution of IL-4 genotypes among males and females is analyzed. The occurrence of the homozygous combination of the allel variant C/C of the promoter of IL-4 has been shown to prevail almost twofold over the occurrence of the variant C/T among healthy donors and HIV-infected patients. Sexual differences play an essential role in the character of inheriting the allel variants of the genes of IL-4, the presence of the homozygous variant C/C or T/T being a risk factor of HIV infection in males. As revealed in this study, in the peripheral blood of healthy donors mononuclear cells having genotype C/C differ from cells with the heterozygous variant C/T in higher spontaneous production of IL-4 and, simultaneously, in lower capacity for the activation of its production in response to stimulation with mitogen. In HIV-infected patients mononuclear cells differ in higher spontaneous production of IL-4 in comparison with controls. We may thus infer that the human genotype controlling the initial level of the production of IL-4 by lymphocytes Th2 may influence the intensity of antibody production in the process of infection.

[Demographic aspects of adaptive changes of human immune system in the North].

The dynamics of an immunotypological structure in migrants in Magadan was studied in relation to the duration of residence in the North. The changes were assessed by the integrated immune heterogeneity index, the atypic immune status index, frequencies of some immune phenotypes, the prevalence of clinical immunopathological signs and HLA Class 1 antigen distribution in the groups of the examinees. The dynamics of the immunotypological structure of migrants to the North was shown to have regular features depending upon the duration of "life in the North", some certain time-dependent, qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The mechanisms of some changes in the population immune structure and their role in the adaptation of northern newcomers to extreme ecological conditions are discussed.
