表达禽流感病毒H5HA、H7HA基因DNA疫苗的免疫原性研究

为研究双顺反子DNA疫苗对禽流感病毒（AIV）的保护作用，将H5和H7亚型AIV的HA基因克隆到同一表达栽体上，构建了双顺反子HA基因表达质粒pCI—H5HA—H7HA。以此质粒肌注免疫4周龄SPF鸡，首次免疫后3周加强免疫，同时设pCI—H5HA和pCI—H7HA联合免疫组及空白对照组，每周采血用微量血凝抑制法检测HI抗体。加强免疫后3周分别以100LD50的高致病力禽流感病毒（HPAIV）A／Goose／Guangdong／1／96（H5N1）和A／FPv／Rostock／34〈（H7N1）进行致死性攻击。结果显示各免疫组均可刺激鸡体产生H5、H7特异性抗体，pCI—H5HA—H7HA诱导产生的抗体对H5N1和H7N1的攻毒保护分别为50%和10％，而pCI—H5HA和pCI—H7HA联合免疫的攻毒保护均为70％。表明双顺反子质粒可诱导鸡产生较好或一定的保护，但免疫效果不够理想，推测与DNA的摄取及其体内表达有关，可望通过调整DNA疫苗的多种因素提高免疫效果。

不同佐剂和免疫途径对柔嫩艾美耳球虫SO7抗原免疫保护效果的影响

利用PGEX-6P-1融合表达系统将SO7基因在大肠杆菌中进行融合表达,对表达产物进行初步纯化和复性,制备免疫原。分别使用不同剂量的人参总皂甙和重组γ-干扰素以及弗氏完全佐剂作为免疫佐剂,于5日龄、12日龄和19日龄对雏鸡进行3次免疫,同时设立蛋白口服免疫组、蛋白皮下注射免疫组、卵囊口服免疫组、未免疫未攻毒组和未免疫攻毒组作对照,于26日龄用105个柔嫩艾美耳球虫卵囊进行攻毒,8d后扑杀,对各组的存活率、相对增重率、病变减少率、相对卵囊产量和抗球虫指数ACI等指标进行统计分析,比较免疫保护效果。与非免疫攻毒组以及不加佐剂的免疫攻毒组相比,佐剂使用后各组的增重、病变记分、相对卵囊产量、ACI等指标均有一定的改善,对柔嫩艾美耳球虫的人工感染可以提供部分保护。3种佐剂中,γ-干扰素和人参总皂甙能增强重组蛋白的免疫保护效果,且佐剂的剂量对免疫保护的效果有一定的影响,以5000Uγ-干扰素效果最佳,效果与E.tenella活卵囊免疫相当,弗氏完全佐剂的免疫增强效果不明显。单独使用重组蛋白皮下注射或口服免疫,虽有一定的保护作用,但不明显。一定剂量的γ-干扰素对SO7抗原的免疫保护效果起明显的增强作用,是一个具有很好临床应用前景的新型佐剂。

Can hydrochar and pyrochar affect nitrogen uptake and biomass allocation in poplars?

Positive effects of pyrochar on soil nutrient availability and plant growth are widely reported in literature. However, few studies have reported effects of hydrochars on plant nutrition. A pot trial was conducted over a period of 2 years to investigate the effect of a pyrochar (AGT) and a hydrochar (HTC) on poplar (Populus × generosa , clone AF8) growth, biomass allocation and nitrogen (N) uptake with special emphasis on the quantification (using an isotopic mass balance approach) of char‐derived nitrogen (CDN) absorbed by plants. We found that both pyrochar and hydrochar positively affected above‐ground biomass productivity in the first year, and biomass and nitrogen (N) allocation over the 2 years by reducing the allocation of resources to fine roots. By the end of the experiment, even though the total N uptake was not affected by char, the CDN was more than 24% of the total N absorbed by HTC‐treated plants compared to a negligible amount absorbed by AGT‐treated ones. Finally, char did not affect nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the first year of growth, but by the end of the experiment, NUE was higher in the above‐ground biomass of HTC‐treated than in AGT‐ and control poplars.     

烟酸对高脂血症兔瘦素、过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ和CD36表达的影响

目的探讨烟酸对高脂血症兔血清瘦素及皮下脂肪组织瘦素、过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ及CD36 mRNA表达的影响。方法12只健康雄性新西兰兔给予高胆固醇饮食饲养8周后,随机分为高脂组和烟酸组:高脂组继续饲以高胆固醇饲料6周;烟酸组在饲以高胆固醇饲料的基础上给予烟酸0.2g/(kg.d),共6周。另选择普通饮食14周兔(n=6)作为对照组。实验结束后,取腹股沟处皮下脂肪组织称重并冻存,用酶联免疫吸附法测定血清及脂肪细胞培养基瘦素水平;半定量逆转录聚合酶链反应测定脂肪组织瘦素、过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ及CD36mRNA的表达。此外,在体外观察不同浓度的烟酸对高脂兔脂肪细胞瘦素、过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ及CD36 mRNA的表达。结果高脂组兔血清及脂肪组织瘦素水平明显高于正常对照组,烟酸治疗6周后可降低血清及脂肪组织瘦素水平。逆转录聚合酶链反应表明烟酸组较高脂组瘦素mRNA表达降低,瘦素mRNA与过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γmRNA和CD36 mRNA的表达呈负相关。体外实验亦表明,烟酸呈剂量依赖性地降低脂肪细胞瘦素mRNA表达,并剂量依赖性地上调过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ及CD36 mRNA的表达。结论烟酸治疗能降低高脂血症兔血清及脂肪分泌瘦素水平,上调过氧化体增殖物激活型受体γ及CD36 mRNA的表达。

Investigation of Co-infection of PPV7 and PCV2 and Genetic Variation Analysis for PPV7 Cap Gene in Fujian and Guangdong

【Objective】 To investigate the co-infection situation of Porcine parvovirus (PPV7) and Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)in Fujian and Guangdong, and to understand the molecular genetic characteristics of PPV7 Cap gene.【Method】 The blood sample of 432 infected pigs from 69 pig farms in Fujian and Guangdong were collected to detect PPV7 and PCV2 by PCR.The PPV7 Cap gene of positive samples was cloned and sequenced.The DNAStar software was used to analyze the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of PPV7 Cap gene, and Mega 7.0 software was used to draw the genetic evolution tree.【Result】 The results showed that the positive rate of PPV7 was 21.99% (96/432), the positive rate of farms was 53.62%(37/69), and the positive rate of PCV2 was 54.17% (234/432), and the co-infection rate of PCV2 and PPV7 was 13.43% (58/432).The 17 PPV7 Cap gene sequences were amplified using PCR.Nucleotide homology analysis revealed that the homology of the 17 PPV7 Cap gene sequences was 85.6%-100%, and the homology with reference strains was 85.8%-99.0%.Amino acid sequence comparison analysis revealed that the amino acid homology of the 17 PPV7 Cap protein sequences was 87.6%-100%, and the amino acid homology with reference strains was 82.6%-98.7%.Phylogenetic analysis of Cap gene showed that PPV7 could be divided into five main evolutionary branches of PPV7a-PPV7e, among which 9 isolates belonged to PPV7a subtype, 3 isolates belonged to PPV7b subtype, 4 isolates belong to PPV7c subtype, and only 1 isolates isolates belonged to PPV7e subtype.【Conclusion】 This study indicated that PPV7 was widely prevalent in Fujian and Guangdong regions, and had a high co-infection rate with PCV2, which might be the pathogenic factor of Porcine circovirus associated disease(PCVAD).The genetic diversity of PPV7 isolates was abudant in both regions, and PPV7a was the dominant strain at present.The findings of this study provided theoretical basis and data reference for PPV7 prevention and control and vaccine research.
