噬菌体抗体库技术研究进展

噬菌体抗体库技术是利用PCR扩增出抗体的全套可变区基因,将抗体分子DNA片断如Fab或单链抗体(ScFv)与噬菌体外壳蛋白基因PⅢ或PVⅢ连接,使融合蛋白表达于噬菌体颗粒的表面,经过“吸附-洗脱-扩增”过程富集筛选特异性抗体。这一技术将抗体基因型和表型联系在一起,使识别抗原的能力和噬菌体的可扩增性统一起来,较好的模拟了体内的抗体产生的过程,成为一种高效的筛选体系。本文就噬菌体抗体库技术的原理、构建、筛选及其应用研究进展做一综述。

蛋鸡脂肪肝出血综合征的病因研究进展

蛋鸡脂肪肝出血综合征(FLHS)是一种代谢性疾病,营养、内分泌、遗传和环境等因素都可影响其发生。日粮中能量过高或蛋白不足是诱发FLHS的主要因素,能量、蛋白来源也影响FLHS的发生。日粮中脂肪酸来源影响FLHS的发生,动物性脂肪较易引起FLHS,适量添加植物油可降低肝脏脂肪含量。雌激素水平升高可引起肝脏脂肪含量增加,与FLHS存在一定的量效关系。甲状腺素和孕酮可降低肝脏脂肪含量,防止出血发生。FLHS易感品系UCD-3蛋鸡肯定了遗传因素对该病的影响。空间不充足或必要活动受限制,导致能量过剩是FLHS发生的重要诱因。肝脏脂肪沉积并不总是引起肝脏出血,脂质过氧化物分解生成大量脂质自由基引起细胞损伤,可能是肝脏脂肪含量升高导致出血的分子机制。

鸡IFN-γ重组鸡痘病毒对鸡传染性腔上囊炎MB43弱毒疫苗免疫鸡免疫应答的影响

将重组鸡痘病毒（rFPV—IFN-γ）与IBDMB43弱毒疫苗联合接种SPF鸡，研究重组鸡IFN-γ对IBD疫苗免疫效果的影响。结果显示，rFPV—IFN-γ和MB43弱毒疫苗联合免疫组（MB43＋rFPV-IFN-）＂）及rlFN-γ和MB43弱毒疫苗联合免疫组（MB43＋rIFN-γ）在免疫后第2周即可检出ELISA抗体，比MB43疫苗单独免疫组早1周。用IBDVGx株攻击后，MB43＋rFPV-IFN-γ组和MB43＋rIFN-γ组免疫鸡的脾只有个别淋巴细胞核浓缩、核崩解，少数滤泡萎缩变性坏死；胸腺损伤程度轻于MB43疫苗单独免疫组和非免疫对照组。免疫后1周，3个免疫组外周血CD8^＋T淋巴细胞含量均显著高于非免疫对照组，CD4^＋T淋巴细胞含量变化不明显；攻毒后第2周，3个疫苗免疫组CD4^＋、CD8^＋T淋巴细胞含量均显著升高，各组之间CD4^＋、CD8^＋T淋巴细胞含量无明显差异。证实，rFPV—IFN-γ和rIFN-γ可加强疫苗的细胞免疫和体液免疫应答。     

猪泛素基因与PRRSV GP5基因融合表达质粒的构建及其免疫效果

构建了泛素（ubiquitin，Ub）基因与密码子优化的PRRSVGP5蛋白（optiGP5）基因融合表达质粒pIR—Ub—optiGP5。间接免疫荧光和Western—blot分析表明，重组质粒转染293T细胞后能够瞬时表达。将pIR—optiGP5和pIR—Ub—optiGP5两种质粒DNA肌肉注射免疫BALB／c小鼠后，分别检测小鼠血清中抗GP5抗体、T淋巴细胞的增殖能力以及CTL活性。结果显示，pIR—optiGP5质粒免疫组在二免后可以检测到荧光抗体，而pIR—Ub—optiGP5质粒免疫组一直未检测到抗GP5抗体，但该免疫组的T淋巴细胞增殖指数及针对GP5的特异性CTL反应数值明显高于pIR—optiGP5质粒免疫组。这表明泛素与GP5的融合表达可增强细胞免疫反应。     

THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN RETRACTED Exergy as an ecological application used in the recovery process of benthic communities

Exergy, the thermodynamic function that represents the distance of an open system from equilibrium, is proposed as an ecological indicator for summarizing the complex dynamics occurring in a disturbed community during its recovery processes. These complex dynamics can be difficult to capture by using classical indices. In this study, we sampled macrobenthos using the BACI scheme (before versus after; control versus impact) in tidal wetlands of west Chongming Island, China, an area that has been disturbed by ecological engineering measures. Exergy storage is estimated for benthic communities. The control area is proposed as dynamic reference for estimating local exergy storage of the benthic community. Three different methods were used for estimating exergy on the basis of coefficients: (a) taken for taxa groups; (b) estimated from coding genes given for broad taxonomic groups; and (c) estimated from genome size taken as close as possible to the taxonomic level of the species, providing a basis for inferring similarities. We found a decrease of local exergy content in the disturbed area 9 days after the disturbance. Subsequently, the reference exergy of the benthic community increased (i.e. in the surrounding control area) in accordance with the proposed hypothesis regarding the dynamics of exergy storage during a system's development. Estimates of local exergy arrived at using the three methods provided comparable results. Based on this, we then discuss the feasibility of using the more readily available genome size data for estimating exergy. This result may have important implications for broader application of this indicator to biological systems. Moreover, the adjacent control samples seem to represent an appropriate dynamic reference for estimating the local exergy of disturbed communities. We found that exergy was a useful indicator that integrates the processes underlying the recovery of the benthic community after disturbance.     

Isolation and Identification of a Variant Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus and the Immune Efficacy of Its Inactivated Vaccine

This study was aimed to isolate a mutant strain of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and prepare a PEDV inactivated vaccine with high valence by suspension culture process for immunizing against PEDV effectively in China.200 small intestines and theirs contents of diarrhea piglets died of diarrhea,collected from many large-scale pig farms in China,were detected by RT-PCR and sequenced,a mutant strain of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus was selected and put on the suspension-cultured Vero cells in a 2 L reactor for virus isolation and continuous cell culture,the harvested virus suspension,which was identified and determined TCID₅₀,was inactivated by formaldehyde and mixed with aluminum hydroxide gel adjuvant to prepare PEDV inactivated vaccine.After its physical behavior,stability viscosity,sterility test were checked out,the safety and immune efficacy were studied by immunizing the pregnant pigs and theirs piglets.The results were as follows:86 samples were detected positive in 200 samples,cytopathy occurred after the mutant strain samples screened were passaged to 5th generation,the virus suspension was harvested in 10th generation and identified as a mutant strain of PEDV,named PEDV-GF10 strain.The virus titer of harvested virus suspension was measured up to 1×10^8.0 TCID₅₀/mL after concentrated.After the vaccine was checked out,the sows,40 and 25 days before delivery in experimental groups,were injected into Xuehai acupoint with 4 mL vaccine and the pigs in blank group were free of immunifications.The results showed that there were no obvious differences in the production status of the sows in experimental groups and blank group and the temperature of theirs 3-day-old healthy piglets injected different doses of vaccine,and the vaccine was safe to the sows and piglets.Forty 3-day-old piglets producted by pregnant sows in experimental groups and blank group were randomly selected and taken 4 mL 1×10^8.0TCID₅₀/mL F10 virus culture.The PEDV morbidity of piglets in blank group was 100% after injection and the antibodies were negative;10% piglets in blank group had mild diarrhea symptoms,the protection rate was up to 90%,antibody of passive immunity in piglets lasted for more than 35 days.Virus titer of mutant strain of PEDV-GF10 improved a lot by suspension cell culture,the PEDV-GF10 inactivated vaccine was safe,and could effectively prevent and control the variation strain of PEDV in China.
