片形吸虫分泌排泄抗原和虫体抗原的分析

用牛源肝片吸虫（南京）、牛源大片吸虫（广西）和羊源肝片吸虫（实验感染）制备可溶性虫体抗原（BA）和和分泌排泄抗原（ES），以SDS－PAGE电泳分析比较，结果显示，3株虫体可溶性虫体抗原至少有20条以上的主要蛋白条带，分子量集中于10－90KD之间，它们之间无显著差异，而3株分泌排泄抗原蛋白成分较简单，明显可分的条带不超过5条，分子量集中于10－30KD之间，且均拥有26－28KD的蛋白成分，提示该蛋白应为片形吸虫ES抗原的主要免疫成分。

丙型肝炎病毒NS4B蛋白调控Hep3B细胞非折叠蛋白质反应研究

研究表达的丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)NS4B对Hep3B细胞非折叠蛋白质反应的影响。NS4B重组真核表达质粒pcDNA3.1(-)NS4B通过脂质体转染Hep3B细胞,G418筛选和Western blot鉴定稳定转染细胞;RT-PCR检测稳定转染细胞内XBP1 mRNA剪接,Western blot鉴定ATF6蛋白切割,荧光素酶试验检测稳定转染细胞内GRP78和XBP1启动子活性。G418筛选和Western Blot鉴定证实获得稳定表达NS4B的Hep3B细胞;在该细胞内,XBP1 mRNA剪接、ATF6切割、XBP1和Grp78启动子激活均被检测到。NS4B在Hep3B的稳定表达诱导了非折叠蛋白质反应。     

Detection of Oocyst‐Associated Toxoplasmosis in Swine from Southern Chile

Pork has been traditionally considered an important source of human Toxoplasma gondii infection. Pigs, as other meat‐producing animals, can become infected by the ingestion of oocysts that are shed in the environment by infected cats or by the consumption of cysts present in tissues of infected mammals, commonly small rodents. The objective of this study was to investigate the level of T. gondii infection in swine from southern Chile that can be associated with the ingestion of oocysts and therefore exposure to a contaminated environment. A total of 340 serum samples from swine were obtained from three commercial slaughterhouses located in the Araucania and Los Rios Regions from southern Chile. Study animals originated from local farms, mainly small commercial producers, and the meat is sold locally. Overall, 8.8% (30/340) of the samples showed T. gondii‐specific IgG antibodies. Of these sero‐positive animals, 80% (24/30) were also positive for antibodies specific against the oocyst stage of the parasite, indicating that animals had been infected recently by the ingestion of oocysts. The observed results suggest a high level of environmental contamination with oocysts on the farms of origin. In addition to the food safety problems associated with the consumption of meat from infected animals, the high level of environmental contamination on the farm represents a direct health risk for people living and/or working on these farms. Consequently, there is a need to develop on‐farm monitoring programmes and identify risk reduction strategies (food storage, water purification, rodent control and contact with cats) that are appropriate and cost‐effective for informal and outdoor type of farms.     

猪囊尾蚴重组抗原和基因工程疫苗的研究进展

猪囊尾蚴病（Cysticercosis）是由猪带绦虫的幼虫囊尾蚴寄生于人或猪等而引起的人畜共患寄生虫病,是公认的世界经济病之一。严重威胁着人体健康,并给畜牧业造成重大经济损失,猪囊尾蚴病的免疫防治势在必行。然而在猪囊尾蚴病疫苗研究中,疫苗抗原的选择和来源一直困扰着兽医工作者。该文就近年来猪囊尾蚴病诊断重组抗原和基因工程疫苗的分子生物学研究进展进行了综述。     

大豆抗原及其对仔猪和犊牛的影响

大豆及其制品中含有一些可以引起幼龄动物胃肠道发生过敏反应的抗原物质,这些抗原物质引起的过敏反应可造成动物肠道损伤,进而导致肠道吸收障碍,生长发育受阻。本文对大豆抗原的种类、生物学特性、不同大豆制品中的可溶性抗原及大豆抗原对仔猪和犊牛的影响进行了综述。
