Chromatography studies on bio-affinity of nine ligands of a1-adrenoceptor to a1D subtypes overexpressed in cell membrane

Copyright by Science in China Press 2004 The a1-AR is present in many tissues including heart, blood vessels, liver, brain, kidney, prostate and spleen. In these tissues, the a1-AR mediates a variety of physiological effects such as neurotransmission, vasoconstriction, cardiacinotropy, chronotropy and glycogenolysis[1]. In 1986, Morrow and Greese pro-posed that a1-AR should be subclassified into two subtypes. Later this hypothesis was proved by Q.D Han in 1987. He not only verified a1-A…     

The complete mitochondrial genomes sequences of Asio flammeus and Asio otus and comparative analysis

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), as a model sys-tem, has been extensively used for molecular phy-logenetic and evolutionary analysis[1]. With the ad-vances in DNA sequencing technology, more andmore researchers prefer to use complete mitochondrialgenome for phylogenetic analysis[2—4]. Since the com-plete sequencing of human mtDNA in 1981 (Andersonet al., 1981)[5], 342 vertebrate mitochondrial genomeshave so far been sequenced. Up to now the completesequences of 29 avian mitochondrial genomes h…

源于129S1品系的小鼠胚胎干细胞系的建立及其生物学特性分析

从129S1小鼠早期胚胎的内细胞团分离、培养类胚胎样细胞,经反复传代,成功地建立了129S1小鼠胚胎干细胞系,命名为NM-2细胞系。形态学鉴定具有胚胎干细胞的典型形态特征,正常核型率为80％;呈碱性磷酸酶阳性、表达胚胎干细胞特异性转录因子OCT-4;体内分化后可形成源于三胚层的组织结构;经囊胚腔显微注射后所获得的子代个体中79％具有毛色嵌合表型;雄性嵌合个体中31％发生生殖腺嵌合;同时,通过育种观察到所有生殖腺嵌合体的子代小鼠表型正常。以上结果证实NM-2细胞系为一株具高生殖腺嵌合能力的小鼠胚胎干细胞系。     

蚯蚓蛋白质的自溶与开发应用

蚯蚓是人类潜在的优质蛋白源,其蛋白质由18种氨基酸组成,其中8～10种为人体必需。利用蚯蚓自身蛋白水解酶可以自溶蚯蚓获取较高营养价值的水解液。这种水解液可以作营养添加剂,绿色肥料和生物农药;也可以通过分离提纯制备有利于人类的健脑液和增高液。     

金黄色葡萄球菌基因表达的DNA扣除法

[目的]金黄色葡萄球菌作为一种分布广泛的致病微生物和研究革兰氏阳性菌遗传背景的模式菌株,利用real-time RT PCR对相关毒素及调控基因进行表达定量分析,在生物、医学、食品检测等领域具有较大研究价值.[方法]对制备好的反转录(RT,含有cDNA和DNA)和非反转录(RTˉ,仅含DNA)样品进行Real-time PCR检测,根据经典(1 E)ˉ△△Ct相对定量算法并结合PCR效率公式建立一种基因表达相对定量分析的DNA扣除法,将得到的Ct值转换为各样品含量,从RT样品中扣除RTˉ样品的量,无需DNaseⅠ酶解处理就可以去除DNA的影响,RTˉ样品的检测结果还可同时作为稳定的DNA内参.[结果]采用以上方法分析金黄色葡萄球菌肠毒素A基因(sea)、16S rRNA和RNA Ⅲ的表达情况,在含有葡萄糖的NB培养基中sea的相对转录水平随着葡萄糖浓度的增大而升高,RNAⅢ的相对转录水平随葡萄糖浓度的变化而产生小幅度的波动,16S rRNA在菌体生长初期时的表达量较为稳定;与绝对定量法比较,结果差异较小(均小于15%),且差异不显著(p＞0.05).[结论]这种基于DNA扣除法的Real-time RT PCR相对定量方法可以有效的对金黄色葡萄球菌的基因表达进行分析.
