用核酸免疫技术制备抗丙肝病毒C区单克隆抗体

用丙肝病毒Ｃ＋Ｅ１区真核表达质粒ｐｃＤＮＡ－ＨＣＶ／Ｃ＋Ｅ１按４００ｕｇ／只剂量免疫ＢＡＬＢ／Ｃ小鼠,１４周后同一剂量再加强免疫一次。加强免疫后２周,在５０％ＰＥＧ１４５０介导下将脾细胞与ＳＰ２／０小鼠骨髓瘤细胞（５１）融合。实验结果融合率达５４．３％（３１３／５７６）。阳性率为５．４％（１７”３１３）。克隆化后得到６株稳定分泌抗丙肝病毒Ｃ区单克隆抗体杂交瘤细胞株。这６株杂交瘤均产生ＩｇＭ抗体,接种ＢＡＬＢ／Ｃ小鼠后产生腹水的效价为１６４－１３２０（ＥＬＩＳＡ）。     

影响病毒免疫治疗肿瘤疗效诸多因素的实验研究

甲型流感病毒ＰＲ８株两次注射治疗Ｓ１８０腹水瘤小鼠（６周龄）,第一次注射后小鼠存活率为５２％,间隔不同时间二次注射ＰＲ８,小鼠存活率均有不同程度提高,达６０％—９０％;小鼠植入Ｓ１８０细胞后第２、５、７、１０天分别给予病毒治疗,其存活率分别是７０％、３５％、１７．５％和０,对照组则１００％死亡。为观察荷瘤鼠体内抗病毒抗体对疗效的影响,首先用ＰＲ８免疫小鼠,待产生抗体后植入Ｓ１８０细胞再行病毒治疗,小鼠存活率为６２．５％;而未经病毒免疫过的荷瘤鼠,其存活率仅３３．３％。ＰＲ８治疗“老”龄荷瘤鼠（１０月龄）,存活率为０,平均生存时间为２２．３天,对照组为２０．５天。环磷酰胺可增加病毒对瘤细胞的感染率,二者协同作用,能提高小鼠存活率。

实验性脾虚小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞增殖周期和免疫细胞化学的研究

本文用流式细胞术（ＦＣＭ）和免疫细胞化学方法,检测了实验性小鼠脾的淋巴细胞增殖周期和５－溴脱氧尿苷阳性细胞（ＢｒｄＵ￣＋）在脾脏内的分布．以及脾小结中ＩｇＭ￣＋细胞的反应。结果显示由利血平诱发的脾虚小鼠Ｓ期细胞数最少（占５％）,Ｇ＿１和Ｇ＿２＋Ｍ期细胞增加。经过健脾汤治疗后Ｓ期细胞增至１０％,与对照组比较无显著性差异．但高于自然恢复组（Ｐ＜０．００１）。经免疫细胞化学显示：脾虚组小鼠的脾中５－溴脱氧尿苷阳性细胞（ＢｒｄＵ￣＋）的数量远低于其它组。脾小结缩小,帽状区ＩｇＭ￣＋Ｂ细胞基本消失,经健脾汤治疗后,复健组的脾小结与自然恢复组比较,体积明显增大,生发中心的ＢｒｄＵ￣＋和帽状区ＩｇＭ￣＋Ｂ淋巴细胞均相应增多。提示健脾汤有促进ＤＮＡ和ＩｇＭ合成及细胞增殖作用。     

肝炎病毒与EB病毒重叠感染

为探讨肝炎病毒（ＨＶ）与ＥＢ病毒（ＥＢＶ）重叠感染的状况和后果,我们用免疫酶法对１５４例各型病毒性肝炎患者作了ＥＢＶＩｇＡ抗体检测。结果发现,急性肝炎、慢性轻度肝炎、慢性中度肝炎、肝炎肝硬化、慢性重型肝炎和原发性肝癌ＶＧＡ－ＩｇＡ抗体的阳性率分别为２４．０％、３０．０％、５３．３％、６３．３％、４０．０％和７２．７％,与健康人（５．３％）比较,有非常显著升高（Ｐ＜０．０１）;原发性肝癌又较急性肝炎和慢性轻度肝炎高,并有非常显著意义差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。ＨＢＶ和ＨＡＶ＋ＨＢＶ感染者比较,前者又较后者低（Ｐ＜０．０１）。重叠感染者的临床表现均为“肝炎型”,未见咽炎、腺热、胃肠、肺炎、肾炎、神经等类型。重叠感染者的ＣＤ＋３及ＣＤ＋４Ｔ细胞下降,ＣＤ＋８Ｔ细胞及ＩｇＧ,ＩｇＭ升高,与健康人比较差异非常显著意义（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果提示：ＨＶ感染,不仅因免疫失调易感ＥＢＶ,又可因重叠感染而进一步使免疫功能失调;对病毒性肝炎的处理应强调免疫调节治疗。

Changes in lactate dehydrogenase activity in chicken tissues in hyperthyreosis in ontogenesis

The lactate dehydrogenase activity in reactions of lactate oxidation and synthesis was studied in subfractions of the chicken brain, heart and liver at the embryonal, early postembryonal and adult stages of development after thyroxine administration. It has been shown that during embryogenesis thyroxine predominantly enhanced the rate of lactate oxidation in the mitochondrial tissues. A marked increase in the lactate synthesis was found in cytoplasm of the adult chicken tissues. Specificity of enzyme activity alterations was detected in the chicken brain during ontogenesis after thyroxine administration.     

Scurvy in capybaras bred in captivity in Argentine

In order to determine if the absence of vitamin C in the diet of capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) causes scurvy, a group of seven young individuals were fed food pellets without ascorbic acid, while another group of eight individuals received the same food with 1 g of ascorbic acid per animal per day. Animals in the first group developed signs of scurvy-like gingivitis, breaking of the incisors and death of one animal. Clinical signs appeared between 25 and 104 days from the beginning of the trial in all individuals. Growth rates of individuals deprived of vitamin C was considerably less than those observed in the control group. Deficiency of ascorbic acid had a severe effect on reproduction of another population of captive capybaras. We found that the decrease in ascorbic acid content in the diet affected pregnancy, especially during the first stages. The results obtained suggest that it is necessary to supply a suitable quantity of vitamin C in the diet of this species in captivity.     

Role for dopamine in malonate-induced damage in vivo in striatum and in vitro in mesencephalic cultures

Defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism have been implicated in the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, the reactive metabolites generated from the metabolism and oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) are thought to contribute to the damage to neurons of the basal ganglia. We have previously demonstrated that infusions of the metabolic inhibitor malonate into the striata of mice or rats produce degeneration of DA nerve terminals. In the present studies, we demonstrate that an intrastriatal infusion of malonate induces a substantial increase in DA efflux in awake, behaving mice as measured by in vivo microdialysis. Furthermore, pretreatment of mice with tetrabenazine (TBZ) or the TBZ analogue Ro 4-1284 (Ro-4), compounds that reversibly inhibit the vesicular storage of DA, attenuates the malonate-induced DA efflux as well as the damage to DA nerve terminals. Consistent with these findings, the damage to both DA and GABA neurons in mesencephalic cultures by malonate exposure was attenuated by pretreatment with TBZ or Ro-4. Treatment with these compounds did not affect the formation of free radicals or the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation resulting from malonate exposure alone. Our data suggest that DA plays an important role in the neurotoxicity produced by malonate. These findings provide direct evidence that inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase causes an increase in extracellular DA levels and indicate that bioenergetic defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases through a mechanism involving DA.     

SSTR5 ablation in islet results in alterations in glucose homeostasis in mice

Somatostatin (SST) peptide is a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion and its effect is mediated via somatostatin receptor 5 (SSTR5) in the endocrine pancreas. To investigate the consequences of gene ablation of SSTR5 in the mouse pancreas, we have generated a mouse model in which the SSTR5 gene was specifically knocked down in the pancreatic beta cells (betaSSTR5Kd) using the Cre-lox system. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that SSTR5 gene expression was absent in beta cells at three months of age. At the time of gene ablation, betaSSTR5Kd mice demonstrated glucose intolerance with lack of insulin response and significantly reduced serum insulin levels. Insulin tolerance test demonstrated a significant increase of insulin clearance in vivo at the same age. In vitro studies demonstrated an absence of response to SST-28 stimulation in the betaSSTR5Kd mouse islet, which was associated with a significantly reduced SST expression level in betaSSTR5Kd mice pancreata. In addition, betaSSTR5Kd mice had significantly reduced serum glucose levels and increased serum insulin levels at 12 months of age. Glucose tolerance test at an older age also indicated a persistently higher insulin level in betaSSTR5Kd mice. Further studies of betaSSTR5Kd mice had revealed elevated serum C-peptide levels at both 3 and 12 months of age, suggesting that these mice are capable of producing and releasing insulin to the periphery. These results support the hypothesis that SSTR5 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of insulin secretion in the mouse pancreas.
