CpG ODN重组质粒对猪外周血淋巴细胞免疫刺激作用的研究

为获得对猪具有免疫刺激活性的含CpG序列的重组质粒,设计合成了11条CpG序列,应用MTS比色法测定合成CpG ODNs刺激猪PBMC增殖的能力,结果有10条CpG ODN对猪PBMC具有刺激活性(SI>2);以对猪PBMC具有较高刺激活性的CpG06和CpG08为核心,分别合成含6次重复序列的重组质粒pCpG06和pCpG08,并检测其对猪PBMC的刺激活性,结果重组质粒pCpG06和pCpG08对猪PBMC的刺激指数分别可达4.97和5.32,并可刺激猪PBMC产生较高水平的IL-4。研究获得的重组质粒pCpG06和pCpG08对猪PBMC具有较好的刺激活性,可为猪用CpG佐剂的研究提供参考。

宏基因组学及其研究进展

宏基因组学是近年来发展起来的一门新兴学科,主要技术包括从环境样品中提取微生物混合基因组DNA、利用可培养的宿主菌建立宏基因组文库及筛选目的基因。该技术可以克服传统培养技术的不足,是研究未培养微生物、寻找新功能基因和开发获得新资源的重要新途径。目前宏基因组学已广泛应用于各个领域,并在医药、农业、能源开发、环境修复、生物技术、生物防御等方面有了较深入的研究。笔者对宏基因组学的主要技术方法及其应用研究进展进行了简要综述。     

利用皮肤活检标本应用免疫组化法检测携带BVD病毒的初生犊牛

牛病毒性腹泻病毒（BVDV）是一种传染性极强的病毒。该病毒主要源于牛群中BVDV携带者。许多携带者处于免疫耐受状态。在妊娠第4个月感染了BVDV的孕牛，产下的犊牛埘BVDV有免疫耐受性。控制和防制BVDV的关键在于榆疫、淘汰牛群中BVDV携带者。用一种准确、便捷的方法对出生后不久的犊牛进行诊断，它将能有效防制该病毒扩散。检疫携带者的手段很多，主要包括VI、ELISA、PCR等方法对血样进行检测。然而，检测携带BVDV的初生犊牛很困难，因为初乳中存在母源抗体，它可以中和血清中的病毒，而且可以一直维持4个月。鉴于此，Ⅵ或ELISA检测血清的方法是不可靠的。     

The 16MΔvjbR as an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate for differentiation between Brucella vaccination and infection

Brucellosis brings great economic burdens for developing countries. Live attenuated vaccines are the most efficient means for prevention and control of animal Brucellosis. However, the difficulties of differentiating of infection from vaccine immunization, which is essential for eradication programs, limit their applications. Therefore, the development of a vaccine that could differentiate infection from immunization will overcome the limitations and get extensive application. VjbR is a quorum sensing regulator involving in Brucella's intracellular survival. The vjbR∷Tn5 mutants have been proven effective against wild type strain challenge, implying its possibility of use in vaccine candidate development. To further evaluate this candidate gene, in the present study, the antigenicity of purified recombinant VjbR protein was analyzed. Antibodies to Brucella melitensis VjbR could be detected in sera from patients and animals with brucellosis but not in control ones, implying the potential use of this protein as a diagnostic antigen. Then a vjbR mutant of B. melitensis 16M was constructed by replacing the vjbR with kanamycin gene. The mutant showed reduced survival in macrophage and mice. Vaccination of BALB/c mice with 16MΔvjbR conferred significant protective immunity against B. melitensis strain 16M challenges, being equivalent to which induced by the license vaccine Rev.1. The vjbR deletion mutant elicited an anti-Brucella-specific immunoglobulin G response and induced the secretion of gamma interferon and interleukin-10. The most importance is that, the use of vjbR mutants as vaccines in association with diagnostic tests based on the VjbR antigen would allow the serological differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals. These results suggest that 16MΔvjbR is an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate against B. melitensis and deserves further evaluation for vaccine development.     

不同运输条件下液态木聚糖酶的稳定牲研究

实验室中模拟温度(-20～55℃)、时长(24～72 h)的运输条件,以4℃冷藏酶液为对照,通过比较处理前后的酶活变化来评价运输对液态木聚糖酶稳定性的影响,结果表明:-20～15℃环境下,时长72 h内的运输对液态木聚糖酶的酶活测定值无明显影响,也不会造成明显的酶活损失;25～55℃环境下.时长24～72 h的运输对液态木聚糖酶的稳定性有明显影响,温度升高(或时长增加)除导致酶活损失加快外,还会引起酶活测定值与4℃存储后测定值的明显差异.     

连续低剂量黄曲霉毒素B1对大鼠肝肾损伤作用

用含有不同质量浓度黄曲霉素B1（AFB1）（0、4、20、25、50μg／kg）的污染饲料连续饲喂各试验组大鼠60d,于7、15、30、60d静脉取血,测定各组大鼠肝功能与肾功能生化指标。每周检测大鼠体质量,试验第60天断头处死大鼠,检测肝肾组织病理学变化并计算各组大鼠的脏体系数。试验期间备组受试动物未发现明显的中毒症状和异常情况,60d内无受试动物死亡。与对照相比,不同剂量组AFB1对大鼠体质量无显著性影响;连续喂饲7d,大鼠血清AST和BuN含量显著升高（P〈0．05）;连续喂饲15d,大鼠血清AsT、BUN和ALB含量显著升高（P〈0．05）,连续喂饲30d,大鼠血清BUN含量显著升高（P〈0．05）,连续喂饲60d,大鼠血清CR和BUN含量显著升高（P〈0．05）。在各测试质量浓度条件下,大鼠虽未发现明显的中毒症状和异常情况,试验期间无动物死亡,但与空白对照相比,各剂量组AFBl对大鼠均产生了显著的肝肾组织病理学损伤,中毒程度与给毒剂量成正相关性。随着毒素暴露时间延长,大鼠肝脏对低剂量AFBl表现出一定的耐受性,而大鼠的肾脏损伤与毒素暴露时间表现出显著的积累效应。

Novel human H7N9 influenza virus in China

Outbreaks of H7N9 avian influenza in humans in 5 provinces and 2 municipalities of China have reawakened concern that avian influenza viruses may again cross species barriers to infect the human population and thereby initiate a new influenza pandemic. Evolutionary analysis shows that human H7N9 influenza viruses originated from the H9N2, H7N3 and H11N9 avian viruses, and that it is as a novel reassortment influenza virus. This article reviews current knowledge on 11 subtypes of influenza A virus from human which can cause human infections.
