牛精子膜麦芽凝集素结合糖蛋白的分离与定位

牛精子膜用非离子去污剂 NP-40增溶,经固相凝集素亲和层析,初步分离了精子膜麦芽凝集素结合糖蛋白,经 SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、银染色显示出了四条蛋白质带,分子量分别为78,60.42和33 kD。用分离到的糖蛋白制备抗血清,对牛精子进行免疫细胞化学标记,结果顶体区显示为强阳性,与麦芽凝集素亲和细胞化学的染色一致。用抗血清处理精子再进行亲和细胞化学染色时,顶体区的麦芽凝集素结合糖残基多数被封闭,揭示麦芽凝集素结合糖残基是构成抗原决定簇的成分。     

Ovine Pulmonary Adenomatosis in Patagonia,Argentina

An outbreak of pulmonary adenomatosis (OPA) occurred in sheep in Patagonia, Argentina's southernmost region. On the affected farm, nine animals died over a 6-month period with pulmonary lesions of OPA. In all cases, the histology of the lungs was characterized by proliferation of cuboideal and prismatic cells lining the alveoli. Inflammatory exudates and accumulation of alveolar macrophages were marked in most cases, but in six of the cases there was no excess fluid in the airways. The presence of the Jaagsiekte retrovirus was demonstrated in the lungs by immunocytochemistry and PCR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of OPA in Patagonia.     

Bold fusion: transtracheal wash from a Jersey calf

A 10-week-old, female, Jersey calf was referred to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center for evaluation of difficult breathing and inappetence of 18-hours duration. Cytologic examination of a transtracheal wash specimen revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation, with increased numbers of multinucleated cells. Differential diagnoses included established bacterial infection, viral infection, fungal infection, and foreign body reaction. Immunocytochemical staining was done on a direct smear of the transtracheal wash using a cocktail of 4 mouse monoclonal antibodies against 3 human respiratory syncytial virus proteins. Strong intracytoplasmic staining within mononuclear cells was observed and a diagnosis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection was made. Immunocytochemistry may be used as a rapid, inexpensive, adjunctive diagnostic tool for the antemortem diagnosis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus on transtracheal wash specimens.     

安淮山羊骨骼肌卫星细胞的分离培养与鉴定

为了分离得到安淮山羊骨骼肌卫星细胞,成功构建山羊骨骼肌卫星细胞系,为相关研究提供实验材料。以安淮山羊背最长肌肌肉组织为材料,采取胶原酶和胰蛋白酶结合的二步消化法,结合差速贴壁法纯化原代骨骼肌卫星细胞。对骨骼肌卫星细胞中特异性基因Pax7用免疫荧光染色法及PCR扩增加以鉴定。通过分离、纯化,得到纯度较高的山羊骨骼肌卫星细胞,其形态为圆形,折光性强。培养一段时间后密度增大,细胞呈梭型。所得骨骼肌卫星细胞生长状态良好,具有较为一致的生长方式和形态特点。经免疫荧光染色法以及PCR鉴定发现细胞系中有Pax7基因的表达。通过上述材料和方法,可获得较纯的山羊骨骼肌卫星细胞,并稳定传代。     

Immunocytochemical Identification and Localization of Diffuse Neuroendocrine System （DNES） Cells in Gastrointestinal Tract of Channel Catfish （Ictalurus punctatus）

To detect distribution and relative frequency of diffuse neuroendocrine system （DNES） cells in the gastrointestinal tract of channel catfish （lctalurus punctatus）, the intestinal tract of channel catfish was divided into seven portions from proximal to distal： the enlarged area after oesophagus, cardia, fundus, pylorus, and anterior, middle, and posterior intestine. Immunohistochemical method using the strept avidin-biotin-complex （SABC） was employed. All antisera between seven portions of the channel catfish were compared statistically using statistical package for the social science （SPSS）. Five types of DNES ceils were determined： neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive （NPY-IR） cells were demonstrated in both anterior and middle intestine; serotonin （5-HT） immunoreactive cells were detected throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract; vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP） positive cells were at the highest frequency in pylorus; glucagon-immunoreactive （GLU-IR） cells were moderate in number in the fundus and anterior, middle intestine, and no immunoreactivity was determined in the other portions; somatostatin （SOM） positive cells were more abundant in the anterior and middle intestine. The regional distribution and relative frequency of immunoreactive cells in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, are essentially similar to those of other fish. However, some characteristics are observed in this species, which further proved that the diversity of the physiological function of DNES cells was based on their morphology.     

Bovine Cells Infected in Vivo with Theileria Annulata Express CD11b,the C3bi Complement Receptor

Forsyth, L.M.G., Jackson, L.A., Wilkie, G., Sanderson, A., Brown, C.G.D. and Preston, P.M., 1997. Bovine cells infected in vivo with Theileria annulata express CD11b, the C3bi complement receptor. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (4), 249-263Bovine cells from cattle infected with Theileria annulata were phenotyped with monoclonal antibodies recognizing bovine leukocyte antigens. Macroschizont-infected, transformed cell lines prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of cattle, infected with sporozoites, were assessed by flow cytometry; parasitized cells in tissues from infected cattle were examined by immunocytochemical techniques. Co-expression of markers for different cell lineages by the cell lines precluded a definite conclusion as to their phenotypic origins. For, while the pattern of leukocyte antigens expressed by these in vivo-derived schizont-infected cells, which included CD11b, was indicative of a myeloid origin, the possibility that they were NK cells could not be excluded. The monoclonal antibody (MAb) IL-A15, which recognizes CD11b, reacted with a high proportion of parasitized cells in sections of tissues from infected cattle at all stages of acute disease. Mononuclear cells infected with parasites at all stages of differentiation, from macroschizont to microschizont, expressed CD11b. Such parasitized cells occurred throughout the lymphoid tissues, being found in the thymus, spleen and lymph nodes, particularly the prescapular node draining the site of infection, the hepatic, mesenteric and precrural nodes, as well as in the reticulo-endothelial tissue of the liver, kidney, lung, abomasum, adrenal and pituitary glands. These observations provided the first evidence for a myeloid origin for the parasitized T. annulata cells found in infected bovine tissues and blood and suggested a mechanism whereby schizonts could transfer from cell to cell during mechanical infection with schizont-infected cells.     

G细胞和EC细胞在重口裂腹鱼消化道中的分布和形态

应用链霉亲和素-生物素过氧化物酶(Streptavidinbiotincomplex,SABC)免疫组织化学技术,用胃泌素、5-羟色胺抗哺乳动物血清对重口裂腹鱼消化道内分泌细胞进行了研究。结果表明:胃泌素阳性反应细胞仅分布于前肠和中肠,以前肠前段分布最密集(32.51个细胞/mm2);5-羟色胺阳性反应细胞前、中、后肠均有分布,其密度前肠前段最高(24.25个细胞/mm2),后肠后段次之(23.56个细胞/mm2),中肠最低(15.51个细胞/mm2)。本文详细描述了各种内分泌细胞的形态特征并对其生理功能进行了初步讨论。
