[The viral acceptor antagonist to entrapment ligand H9 in vitro activeness and the function to human acceptor CX3-CR1].

Aim: To clarify the activeness of H9 in vitro and internalization and modulation of the surface chemokine receptor CX3CR1 induced by H9, To discuss the influence of H9 on the chemokine receptor CX3CR1.

Methods: Inhibition by chemotactic peptide on the physiological detection of chemokine induced cell migration activity. Flowcytometry examined the effection of H9 on intracellular calcium. Laser scanning confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were used to determine the quality and quantity of CX3CR1 internalization.

Results: H9 was able to block the migration induced by chemokine receptor. In the chemoattraction test, H9 was unable to induce the chemotactic movement, and it does not affect the signal transduction and activeness of cells. It was found that H9 could induce internalization with a maximal rate of 70%, at the concentration of 200 ng/mL. The internalized CX3CR1 molecules could recycled to the cell surface.

Conclusion: H9 makes human CX3CR1 internalize. After internalizing, the CX3CR1 receptor recirculates the cell surface. It does not affect CX3CR1 physiology function. H9 could be used as a specificity anti-virus peptide.
