ABSTRACT
Coxsackievirus B4 (CV-B4), in presence of antibodies and through a specific viral receptor CAR and Fcγ receptors II and III, can infect monocytes which results in interferon-α synthesis. The antibody-dependent enhancement of CV-B4 infection in the human monocytic-like THP-1 cell line has been investigated. The preincubation of CV-B4 with human plasma or human polyvalent immunoglobulins enhanced the infection of phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA)-activated THP-1 cell cultures. CV-B4 replicated in these cells as demonstrated by the intracellular detection of infectious particles, viral protein VP1 (immunofluorescence), positive and negative viral RNA (RT-PCR). The viability of infected and control cell cultures was not different up to 20 days post-infection. Activated cell cultures inoculated with CV-B4 harbored intracellular RNA up to 14 days post-infection and produced IFNα that was detected by intracellular immunofluorescence staining as soon as 4 h post-infection with a maximum at 48 h post-infection and by RT-PCR all along the experiment. Together, these data demonstrate that PMA-activated THP-1 cells can be infected with CV-B4, can produce IFNα as a result of interactions between the virus, antibodies and specific receptors. This cellular model can be used to investigate further the mechanism and the result of the antibody-dependent enhancement of CV-B4 infection.
