Expression of PDGFR-β and Kit in canine anal sac apocrine gland adenocarcinoma using tissue immunohistochemistry

Canine anal sac apocrine gland adenocarcinoma (ASAGAC) is an uncommon but highly invasive and metastatic malignancy. Toceranib phosphate (Palladia) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that targets several members of the split kinase RTK family. These membrane receptors are important for cell cycling, apoptosis and angiogenesis, all of which can contribute to carcinogenesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate archived, paraffin-embedded canine ASAGAC and normal canine anal sacs for immunohistochemical detection of Kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFR-β). Two of 77 neoplasms (2.6%) expressed Kit. Fifteen of the neoplasms (19.5%) were positive for PDGFR-β expression. None of the normal canine anal sac epithelium expressed Kit or PDGFR-β. Because of these results, further investigation should be considered to determine the role of RTKs in the clinical course and treatment of canine ASAGAC.     

甘蓝型油菜成熟籽粒DNA快速提取方法探讨

以室温保存不同年份的甘蓝型油菜种子为材料,采用改良的CTAB法和DNA抽提试剂盒分别提取甘蓝型油菜籽粒DNA,探讨适合甘蓝型油菜籽粒DNA提取的方法。结果表明,不同保存年份种子提取的DNA含量无显著差异;受种皮色泽的影响也较小;用改良的CTAB法比试剂盒所提DNA产量高,结构完整性好,成本较低。PCR扩增检测结果表明两种方法获得的DNA均能满足一般的分子实验。因此,从油菜干籽粒中直接提取DNA可以节约时间,显著提高工作效率,为快速高效地进行甘蓝型油菜种质资源和遗传多样性分析奠定了基础,同时,也利于快速鉴定推广品种是否带有外源基因。     

草鱼肠型点状产气单胞菌双抗夹心ELISA试剂盒的研制

通过对包被单抗和酶标单抗以及抗原最佳工作浓度的优化,建立草鱼肠型点状产气单胞菌双抗夹心ELISA试剂盒检测体系。用分光光度法对检测体系的特异性、稳定性和灵敏度进行测定;用脱脂奶平板法对试剂盒的临床应用进行检测。结果表明,单抗最适稀释液为pH9.4的碳酸盐缓冲液,洗涤液为含φ=0.05%Tween-20的PBS,包被单抗最适体积稀释倍数为1∶800,酶标单抗最适体积稀释倍数为1∶6 000,抗原最佳工作浓度为3×104cfu/mL。试剂盒与肠型点状产气单胞菌有特异性反应,脱脂奶平板法与试剂盒法对草鱼患病检出率基本一致,符合率达90%;试剂盒有很好的储存稳定性,检测灵敏度为7×103cfu/mL。

Kit receptor tyrosine kinase dysregulations in feline splenic mast cell tumours

This study investigated Kit receptor dysregulations (cytoplasmic immunohistochemical expression and/or c‐KIT mutations) in cats affected with splenic mast cell tumours. Twenty‐two cats were included. Median survival time was 780 days (range: 1–1219). An exclusive splenic involvement was significantly (P = 0.042) associated with longer survival (807 versus 120 days). Eighteen tumours (85.7%) showed Kit cytoplasmic expression (Kit pattern 2, 3). Mutation analysis was successful in 20 cases. Fourteen missense mutations were detected in 13 out of 20 tumours (65%). Eleven (78.6%) were located in exon 8, and three (21.6%) in exon 9. No mutations were detected in exons 11 and 17. Seven mutations corresponded to the same internal tandem duplication in exon 8 (c.1245_1256dup). Although the association between Kit cytoplasmic expression and mutations was significant, immunohistochemistry cannot be considered a surrogate marker for mutation analysis. No correlation was observed between c‐Kit mutations and tumour differentiation, mitotic activity or survival.     

三种试剂盒检测猪口蹄疫O型抗体的对比试验

使用三种猪口蹄疫O型抗体检测试剂盒分别检测接种猪口蹄疫O型合成肽疫苗和猪口蹄疫O型灭活疫苗的免疫抗体,以探讨三种抗体检测试剂盒的相关性。结果发现,猪口蹄疫病毒VP1结构蛋白抗体ELISA试剂盒和猪口蹄疫O型液相阻断ELISA试剂盒都可检测猪口蹄疫O型合成肽疫苗,两种试剂盒的相关性达90.8%,而间接血凝试剂盒不能用来检测猪口蹄疫O型合成肽疫苗;猪口蹄疫O型液相阻断ELISA试剂盒和间接血凝试剂盒可用来检测猪口蹄疫O型灭活疫苗,两种试剂盒的相关性达93.7%,而猪口蹄疫病毒VP1结构蛋白抗体ELISA试剂盒不能用来检测猪口蹄疫O型灭活疫苗。     

PRRS ELISA试剂盒检测猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒抗体的应用

利用重组杆状病毒表达的PRRSV核衣壳蛋白作抗原制成ELISA诊断试剂盒，检测人工感染PRRSV猪血清、疫苗免疫抗体和田间血清，并与IDEXX公司生产的试剂盒进行比较。结果表明，该试剂盒在PRRSV感染后8天内就可检出感染性抗体，而用IDEXX公司生产的试剂盒在感染后的18天才检测到感染性抗体，对弱毒疫苗的免疫检测也基本能反映出疫苗的免疫应答状况。对华东地区PRRSV流行病学调查结果表明，PRRSV在国内普遍存在，同时也证明研制的试剂盒，是客观科学调查我国PRRS流行情较理想的检测工具。

Optimizing reserve expansion for disjunct populations of San Joaquin kit fox

Expanding habitat protection is a common strategy for species conservation. We present a model to optimize the expansion of reserves for disjunct populations of an endangered species. The objective is to maximize the expected number of surviving populations subject to budget and habitat constraints. The model accounts for benefits of reserve expansion in terms of likelihood of persistence of each population and monetary cost. Solving the model with incrementally higher budgets helps prioritize sites for expansion and produces a cost curve showing funds required for incremental increases in the objective. We applied the model to the problem of allocating funds among eight reserves for the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) in California, USA. The priorities for reserve expansion were related to land cost and amount of already-protected habitat at each site. Western Kern and Ciervo-Panoche sites received highest priority because land costs were low and moderate amounts of already-protected habitat resulted in large reductions in extinction risk for small increments of habitat protection. The sensitivity analysis focused on the impacts of kit fox reproductive success and home range in non-native grassland sites. If grassland habitat is lower quality than brushland habitat resulting in higher annual variation in reproductive success or larger home ranges, then protecting habitat at the best grassland site (Ciervo-Panoche) is not cost-efficient relative to shrubland sites (Western Kern, Antelope Plain, Carrizo Plain). Finally, results suggested that lowest priority should be given to three relatively high-cost grassland sites (Camp Roberts, Contra Costa, and Western Madera) because protecting habitat at those sites would be expensive and have little effect on the expected number of surviving kit fox populations.
