中枢神经系统靶向性CuZn—SOD的构建和表达

SOD对中风等由氧自由基毒性引起的神经性紊乱有保护作用,但因血脑屏障使血液中的SOD不能进入中枢神经系统。靶向性SOD可能是进入该系统的途径之一。将人CuZn-SODcDNA与破伤风毒素C部分基因融合,分别整合进pET－22b（＋）及pFastBacHTb载体中,并分别在E.coli及粉纹夜蛾Tn-5B1-4细胞中表达。表达产物分子量为68kD,与理论计算值。蛋白质印迹实验证实,其表达产物能与人CuZn－SOD多克隆抗人本及抗破伤毒素全毒互抗体有免疫反应。在Tn细胞中高效表达,表达产物占可溶性总蛋白质的20％,表达产物有SOD活性,且具有逆行轴突运输的能力。这为靶向性SOD的进一步应用创造了条件。     

Mn-SOD与抗癌胚抗原单链抗体基因的融合及高效表达

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
