    We have previously described an in vitro model for studying human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) infection in CD4+ T cells [1]. This model employs the WE17/10 cell line, which loses expression of its T cell receptor/CD3 (TCR/CD3) after several months of productive infection. We have used this model to analyze the synthesis and posttranslational modification of viral and cellular proteins after HIV-1 infection and to determine the relationship of these changes to TCR/CD3 expression. Mainly we observe positive changes in protein expression after infection. A phosphoprotein, referred to as WH:1, appears in infected cells that still express their TCR/CD3 complex, and its persistence is linked to the presence of the complex. We examined whether loss of the TCR/CD3 complex could be associated with alterations in the T cell activation pathway as a result of infection. We used T cell activators and inhibitors to determine whether there were common elements between the two events. Quantitative enhancement in one spot, Cs:1, occurred after both Cyclosporin A treatment of uninfected cells and HIV-1 infection of untreated cells. Taken altogether, these data suggest that a correlation exists between negative regulation of late events in the T cell activation pathway and down regulation of the TCR/CD3 complex after HIV-1 infection.FLWNAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    A specific defect in CD3 gamma-chain gene transcription results in loss of T-cell receptor/CD3 expression late after human immunodeficiency virus infection of a CD4+ T-cell line.

    Sequential effects on cellular protein expression following human immunodeficiency virus (type 1) infection of a CD4+ T-cell line in vitro were investigated. Events in the human interleukin 2-dependent helper T-cell line WE17/10 are similar in several respects to the clinical progression in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. WE17/10 cell infection is characterized by an extended period during which viral replication occurs without accompanying cytotoxicity and with a maximum 30% decrease in surface CD4. Cellular protein expression generally remains unaffected during this first phase of infection. However, after 2-3 months, a severe defect in the expression of the T-cell receptor/CD3 complex both on the cell surface and inside the cell becomes apparent. Other cell membrane markers, such as CD2 and CD25, remain constant throughout the course of infection; after its initial decrease, CD4 remains at 70% of control values. Lack of surface expression of the TCR/CD3 complex is correlated with a specific defect in transcription of the CD3 gamma-chain gene

    What is it worth?:An empirical investigation into attitudes towards education amongst youngsters following secondary education in Flanders

    This paper argues that whereas the social relevance of attitudes towards education is commonly confined to their direct impact on educational aspirations or attainment, attitudes may also impact on educational success in a way similar to cultural capital. Survey data were used to assess the support for three different attitudes with respect to the perceived value of attending school among youngsters (n = 853) following secondary education in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium). The results revealed substantial differences according to the pupils’ cultural capital, time perspective, personal educational experiences and social mobility. These findings are taken as a starting point for a broader discussion about how attention to attitudes may enable us to account for the power struggles in which the educational field and the teaching profession are involved
