Inhibition of HSP70 Gene Expression by Modified Antisense and Its Effects on Embryonic Sensitivity to Heat Shock

Experiments were performed to evaluate the efficiency of inhibition of HSP70 gene expression by antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the mRNA of HSPTO and to test the effects of inhibition of HSP70 gene expression on subsequent embryonic sensitivity to heat shock. The results showed that transfection of pre-implantation embryos at 4-cell stage with 5 μM antisense oligo had no effect on in vitro blastocyst development. However, transfection with 10 to 40 μM antisense oligo had reduced in vitro blastocyst development to 15, 10% and 0; For the embryos which exposed to 40 μM As arrested at the 16-cell stage, there was no blastocyst formation within the heat shock groups. In contrast, transfection had no effect on embryonic sensitivity to heat shock, above 25% of embryos developed to blastocyst stage in control groups.     

研究家禽分子遗传学问题的独特种群设计

解决功能遗传学中一些基本问题的能力取决于适宜的，有时是非常新颖的种群设计。我们将探索怎样利用不同复杂度的独特种群设计来研究象下面提到的一些问题。控制不同生物学特性的基因数目是多少?现代遗传学能在整个动物水平有助于剖析复杂的遗传学特性么?远交系中有有益的等位基因未被表达么?种群中通过与其它基因互作而被修饰的某一基因的表达能达到什么程度?独特的遗传资源，结合新颖的长期试验设计和现代的分析技术为生物学科学中研究基础问题和应用问题提供了极好的机会。     

差异表达基因分离技术研究进展

研究不同细胞或同类细胞在不同发育阶段、不同生理状态下(正常状态、发育、衰老、损伤及疾病)差异基因的表达状况,将有助于了解调控细胞分化的机制,为分析生命活动过程提供重要信息。而分离与克隆差异表达的基因是了解这些生命过程的基础。1990年以来,出现了mRNA差异显示技术、代表性差异分析、抑制性削减杂交、cDNA微阵列技术等多种分离差异表达基因的手段,本文对以上方法的优缺点、发展趋势及其应用前景作了简要综述。     

真核表达NDV F基因重组质粒的构建及其在CEF细胞中的转染

通过PCR方法自含NDVZF基因的克隆质粒中扩增NDVF基因 ,将其与真核表达载体pcDNA3..1/V5_His_TOPO重组。经核酸内切酶酶切 ,阳性克隆鉴定准确无误 ,核酸序列测定结果与原始基因比较 ,同源性大于 99% ,启始密码和终止密码未出现变异 ,将该重组质粒命名为pcDNANDVZF。将pcDNANDVZF在脂质体作用下转染CEF细胞 ,用间接免疫荧光试验检测 ,结果证明pcDNANDVZF可在CEF细胞中大量表达F蛋白。
