An improved ferritin assay for canine sera

An improved serum ferritin assay for canine serum has been developed. It uses two monoclonal antibodies in a sandwich arrangement. Serum ferritin can be determined on undiluted canine sera with this assay. The recovery of ferritin added to canine serum ranged from 98 to 106%, the within-assay coefficient of variability was 3.3 to 4.5%, and the assay-to-assay variability was 9.8 to 10.2%. Serum ferritin from 61 apparently healthy dogs had a geometric mean of 252 ng/ml, with a range of 80 ng/ml to 800 ng/ml.

Changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction

AIM and METHODS: To study the changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and its significance. Eighty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. MI was produced by left coronary arterial ligation in 80 animals, and eight rats undergoing thoracotomy but not coronary ligation served as controls (sham).Blood samples were drawn from the right atrium before (sham animals) and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours and 2, 3, 5, 7, 14 days after MI(n=8, respectively). Serum VEGF concentrations were measured by a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for VEGF. RESULTS: In 8 sham animals, the concentration of serum VEGF was (66.99±17.83) pg/mL. Six hours after MI, the level of serum VEGF significantly increased to (125.68±28.07)pg/mL (P＜0.01 vs sham control), and reached a peak (240.61±70.63 pg/mL, P＜0.01 vs sham control) at 24 hours after ligation and then decreased gradually over the remaining 2 weeks. But the level remained significantly elevated for 14 days (107.64±30.31 pg/mL, P＜0.01 vs sham control).CONCLUSION: Serum VEGF levels markedly and permanently increase in the rat model of acute MI may play an important role in the angiogenesis associated with MI     

三唑磷酶联免疫吸附测定法中包被抗体稳定剂的研究

选择了甘油、山梨醇、聚乙二醇(PEG)、卵清蛋白(OVA)、多肽、糖、氨基酸等试剂,通过经验法和正交法相结合的手段配制了一系列稳定剂,对吸附在酶标板上的三唑磷多克隆抗体进行处理(37℃,1 h)后,再在37℃下连续贮存 7 d,利用直接竞争ELISA法对不同稳定剂处理的包被抗体免疫活性、亲合性及检测灵敏度进行检测,并与未经稳定剂处理的对照进行比较,筛选得到效果较好的稳定剂 1 (质量分数:甘油2.5%,氨基酸1.5%,蛋白胨3.0%,离子螯合剂0.1%,防腐剂0.01%)。用稳定剂 1 处理包被抗体后,4~6℃下保存半年及37℃下保存14 d的试验结果表明,抗体的活性相对保持率分别为97.8%和94.2%;其免疫活性、亲合性(I50分别为68.43和54.38 ng/mL)及灵敏度(I10分别为3.72和 3.22 ng/mL)与常规方法包被的抗体(包被好后不贮存,直接检测,I50为60.73 ng/mL,I10为 3.11 ng/mL)无明显差异;冻融试验表明,经稳定剂 1 处理的三唑磷抗体在反复冻-融次数不超过8次时其活性也是稳定的。说明筛选出的稳定剂可以显著提高三唑磷多克隆包被抗体的稳定性,可用于三唑磷ELISA试剂盒的生产。     

灰飞虱体内水稻条纹病毒的检测

为评价灰飞虱体内水稻条纹病毒检测方法的适用范围,利用已经制备的水稻条纹病毒(Rice stripe virus,RSV)的多克隆抗体SV21和单克隆抗体3B9,采用多孔板间接ELISA、DIBA和Western blotting等三种方法进行单头灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus Fallén(SBPH)体内RSV检测。结果表明,检测灵敏度以多孔板间接ELISA最高,其次为DIBA,Western blotting最低;用单克隆抗体3B9检测灵敏度高于多克隆抗体SV21。RT-PCR、IC-RT-PCR和DB-RT-PCR三种方法中,RT-PCR对单头灰飞虱稀释到400倍可检测到病毒;IC-RT-PCR在多克隆抗体SV21稀释浓度大于500倍时检测不出RSV,单克隆抗体3B9稀释浓度大于800倍时检测不到RSV;DB-RT-PCR检测结果显示,单头灰飞虱在稀释400倍后均无阳性反应。     

抗A型禽流感病毒核蛋白特异性单克隆抗体研究

利用禽流感H9亚型病毒(AIV-H9)免疫Balb/c小鼠,取其脾细胞与骨髓瘤细胞进行融合,经免疫荧光试验(IFA)检测,以研制抗禽流感病毒(AIV)单克隆抗体。结果获得了5株特异性抗AIV核蛋白(NP)的单克隆抗体细胞株,分别命名为AIV-NP-2C3、AIV-NP-6A5、AIV-NP-3H9、AIV-NP-7B4、AIV-NP-2H4。这5株单克隆抗体能与所有试验的AIV-H9病毒反应,Western blotting方法鉴定结果表明,单克隆抗体仅识别60 ku的蛋白抗原,而不与新城疫病毒、禽网状内皮组织增殖症病毒、传染性法氏囊病毒等反应。初步应用结果显示,以这些单克隆抗体建立的间接免疫荧光试验或ELISA方法可迅速检测出禽流感病毒,这些单克隆抗体在禽流感的预防监测中将发挥重要的作用。

将１０８只１日龄伊莎系蛋用公雏均分为３组：一组为对照,其余２组在３日龄时,于背侧颈部皮下分别注射０．２、０．４ｍＬ黄芪多糖注射液（０．０１ｇ／ｍＬ）１次,再分别于７、２１、３５、４９日龄时采用ＭＴＴ比色法及微量全血培养３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ掺入法检测外周血Ｔ淋巴细胞转化率的动态变化。结果表明,黄芪多糖对２１、３５日龄雏鸡Ｔ淋巴细胞转化功能有增强作用,且与剂量有相关性,而对７、４９日龄雏鸡的作用不明显。ＭＴＴ比色法与３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ掺入法的检测结果无显著差异（Ｐ＜０．０５）。     

Neutrophil adherence,phagocytic-nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and chemiluminescence in canine whole blood

Methods for measuring neutrophil adherence, phagocytic-nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reducing activity and chemiluminescence were applied to canine whole blood as means for routine assessment of neutrophil functions. The phagocytic-NBT reduction test appeared to be useful for monitoring the NBT reducing activity of phagocytic cells associated with phagocytic functions. Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid suppressed both the adherence and the phagocytic-NBT reducing activity of neutrophils. Increased phagocytic-NBT reduction and an enhanced chemiluminescence response were observed in dogs with neutrophilia. These methods provide a rapid and practical screening procedure for measuring selected phagocytic functions in canine whole blood.
