狂犬病病毒糖蛋白基因的克隆及其二级结构和B细胞抗原表位预测

对狂犬病病毒CVS株糖蛋白基因进行克隆与测序,推导出相应的氨基酸序列。然后采用Gam-ier-Robson法和Chou-Fasman法预测糖蛋白的二级结构,用Kyte-Doolittle法、Emini法和Jameson-Wolf法分别预测蛋白质的疏水性、表面可能性和抗原指数,并综合分析预测糖蛋白的B细胞抗原表位。结果表明,该蛋白结构中含有少量的α螺旋、较多的β折叠以及较为丰富的转角区域,在序列的121~126、133~137、161~165、191~193、201~204、214~216、221~225、264~267区域或其附近最有可能是B细胞抗原表位的优势区域。     

影响持续感染的因素研究进展

持续感染是指病原体在宿主体内持续存在而不被清除的状态,其潜伏期长达数月至数年甚至终生,但不引起症状,病原体不一定持续增殖。不同病原体所致持续感染的定义不同,如口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)引起的持续感染被定义为动物感染28d后仍然携带活的病毒。持续感染是造成免疫失败、肿瘤形成或药物敏感性下降的重要原因。存在持续感染的宿主是重要的传染源,还是病原体发生变异的来源,但因无症状常被忽视。充分了解持续感染的形成机理及持续感染状态中宿主与病原体之间的相互作用,有助于寻找诊断、治疗和预防感染性疾病的最佳方法。论文从病原体和宿主因素两个方面阐述了持续感染的形成机理。     

两种兼用型牛BoLA-DRA*exon2多态性及其与乳房炎的关联分析

利用PCR-SSCP技术,分析了牛主要组织相容性复合物DRA基因外显子2的多态性在236头中国西门塔尔牛、三河牛中的基因型分布及其多态性与乳房炎的关系。结果表明:经χ2独立性检验,发现该多态片段6种基因型在感染乳房炎牛和健康牛之间分布不一致(p<0.01)。在感染乳房炎牛中CC基因型频率最高,在健康牛中BC基因型频率最高。据此推测,CC基因型可能与这两种牛的乳房炎易感性有关,而BC基因型可能与这两种牛的乳房炎抗性有关。     

中华鲟胚胎细胞的冷冻保存及其核移植

为了保存濒危鱼类中华鲟种质资源,对其囊胚细胞和原肠细胞进行了冷冻保存和核移植试验。用二甲亚砜(DMSO)、1,2-丙二醇(PG)、羟乙基淀粉(HES)3种抗冻剂,配制4种冷冻保护液:CP1(12%D)、CP2(10%P)、CP3(8%D 6%E)、CP4(7%P 6%E),冷冻细胞存活率分别为47.4%±4.7%、64.4%±3.6%、54.7%±4.7%、76.7%±5.7%,CP4保存效果最好,说明添加非渗透型抗冻剂羟乙基淀粉能提高冷冻保存细胞的存活率。比较了两种冷冻方法,发现细胞在-7℃平衡30min之后直接投入液氮的一步冷冻降温法是可行的。对不同发育时期的胚胎细胞冷冻存活率进行了比较,结果表明原肠细胞冷冻存活率(64.4%±11.8%)明显比囊胚细胞的(57.1%±11.2%)高(P<0.05)。用冷冻复苏后的囊胚细胞和原肠细胞作供体,以中华鲟未受精卵作受体进行核移植,各移植了469和392枚卵,分别获得了5尾和2尾克隆鱼,核移植成功率分别为1.1%和0.5%。表明可通过冷冻保存胚胎细胞结合核移植技术保存鱼类种质资源。     

A Severe Hellenic CMV Tomato Isolate: Symptom Variability in Tobacco, Characterization and Discrimination of Variants

A severe strain of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) originating from an infected tomato plant (Gastouni-Olympia, Greece) was isolated in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi nc), after three serial local lesion passages in Chenopodium quinoa and designated CMV-G. CMV-G induces yellow mosaic (YM) symptoms in tobacco. When CMV-G was passed mechanically through C. quinoa, phenotypic variants inducing YM or green mild mosaic (MM) in tobacco were isolated. Aphid transmission, from different hosts, appears to be an effective approach for separating MM variants of CMV-G from YM variants. In particular, aphid transmission from zucchini proved to be very efficient in selecting for MM variants. In contrast, aphids transmitted only YM variants from tomato plants. Molecular characterization of CMV-G and its progeny resulted in their classification in the CMV subgroup IB, free of satellite RNA, being the first discovery of the subgroup IB in Greece. In the Solanaceae family (tobacco, tomato, pepper) YM variants induced more severe symptoms than the MM variants. YM and MM phenotype was stable in tobacco for all seven passages tried using the obtained YM and MM variants. Cross-protection experiments showed that an isolated MM variant was able to protect tobacco plants against a challenge infection by a YM variant.     

温湿度调控对番茄灰霉病菌产生的细胞壁降解酶的影响

 番茄灰霉病菌在致病过程中能够产生4种细胞壁降解酶,以PMG酶活性最高,其次是β-葡萄糖苷酶和PG酶,Cx最少。灰霉病菌在不同温度下侵染番茄叶片时产生的致病酶活性不同,4种酶在20℃时表现了最高的活性,15℃次之,当温度达到25℃时,各种酶的活性都急剧下降,随着温度的再升高,酶活更低。随着湿度的增高,病菌产生的细胞壁降解酶的活性也增加,当相对湿度达到90%以上时,4种酶的活性也达到最高。温湿度对番茄灰霉病菌产生细胞壁降解酶的影响趋势,与其对发病的影响趋势是一致的。     

Expression of natural killer cell stimulatory receptor NKG2D and its ligand MICA in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau

AIM: To investigate the expression of natural killer cell stimulation receptor D(NKG2D) in peripheral blood and the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related protein A(MICA) on the gastric carcinoma tissue and the neighboring non-cancerous tissue in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau. METHODS: Samples of 33 patients and 20 healthy persons were collected to detect NKG2D in peripheral blood by Flow cytometry analysis. The expressions of MICA in part of the correspondent tissues were examined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: The expression of NKG2D in the plateau of Tibetan patients with gastric cancer group (13.47 ±5.26)% was significantly lower than that in healthy groups (32.62±10.08)%. The mRNA level of MICA in gastric cancer was significantly higher than that in neighboring non-cancerous tissue (P<0.05). The expressions of MICA proteins showed a significant difference between the neighboring non-cancerous tissue (21.21%, 7/33) and the gastric carcinoma tissue (78.79%, 26/33), between the high differentiation (60.00%, 3/5) and the moderate (72.73%, 8/11), low differentiation (88.24%, 15/17). The expressions of MICA were not correlated with tumor size, sex, age, lymph node metastasis of the patients (P>0.05). Spearman rank correlation displayed that the expressions of MICA mRNA were positively correlated with the MICA protein level (r=0.903, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The immune escape in Tibetan patients with gastric cancer at Qinghai plateau probably relates to the down-regulation of NKG2D and the up-regulation of its ligand MICA. The activity of NK cells and the anti-cancer cellular immunity level are descending in the plateau of Tibetan patients with gastric cancer. The decrease in the receptor NKG2D is a reason for the activity of NK cell descending.
