Neutralizing 2D5mAb did not block the vSF-induced apoptosis, though removal of 2D5mAb-reactive VP23-29K deleted the apoptosis inducing capacity of the vSF, and affinity purified VP23-29K induced the apoptosis. The apoptosis inducer was the VP23-29K (LIR encoded penetration protein). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the VP23-29K resembled to active site of hTNF-α. An anti-TNF receptor antibody, which inhibits TNF-induced apoptosis, did not inhibit the vSF-induced apoptosis. The vSF, hTNF-α and anti-TNF receptor mAb did not affect on adsorption, penetration and plaque formation of the virus. Moreover, the TNF-like sequence was suggested to orient inward on the virus by analogy to 3D structure of TNF/TNF-receptor. These results indicated that the TNF-αreceptor was not the virus receptor. The VP23-29K induces the apoptosis by an unique process, or the interaction between the VP23-29K and its unidentified receptor for penetration exposes the TNF-like sequence of VP23-29K to interact with host TNF-receptor.}, pages = {263--269}, title = {ワクシニアウイルスの膜蛋白による感染細胞のアポトーシスの誘導}, volume = {112}, year = {1998} }
