表达HSV－2 gD基因的重组痘苗病毒保护小鼠对抗致死量HSV病霉攻击

利用ＰＣＲ方法对单纯疱疹病毒Ⅱ型糖蛋白Ｄ（ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ）基因进行了修饰,在其５＇端删去约５００ｂｐ的非编码区,仅保留ＡＴＧ上游７个ｂｐ。将修饰后的ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因插入到带有痘苗病毒天坛株ＴＫ基因区段的痘苗表达质粒ｐＪＳＡ１１７５,置于痘苗病毒Ｐ７．５ｋ早／晚期启动子控制下。将此重组质粒用脂质体Ｌｉｐｏｆｅｃｔｉｎ方法转染已受野型ＴＫ￣＋痘苗病毒天坛株感染的ＴＫ￣－１４３细胞,通过同源重组机制和标志基因ＬａｃＺ产物的蓝斑显色作用,以及ＢｕｄＲ试剂对ＴＫ表型的选择压力,筛选出整合有ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因的重组痘苗病毒。Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｍ杂交表明,ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ基因已正确地插入痘苗病毒ＴＫ基因区内;间接免疫荧光检测显示,ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ蛋白已得到有效表达,且主要分布于细胞膜。重组病毒免疫家兔可产生明显的抗ＨＳＶ－２ｇＤ中和抗体。用重组病毒免疫小鼠,３周后可使９４％（１７／１８）的小鼠对抗ＨＳＶ－２的致死量攻击,表明重组病毒具有明显的免疫保护作用。     

武汉东湖水生植被及其恢复途径探讨

１９９２～１９９３年对武汉东湖三个主要湖区（郭郑湖、汤林湖和牛巢湖）水生植被的调查表明,该湖区共有水生植物３２种,优势种为大茨藻、狐尾藻、苦草和菱。金鱼藻呈不断扩大的趋势。植被类型可分为１１个群丛,植被面积约为０．６５ｋｍ￣２,总生物量为１２３６．３９ｔ（湿重）,植被带状分布仅见于汤林湖北部和其他部分湖汊。汤林湖和牛巢湖水生植被正处于自然恢复演替阶段。

大鼠大脑皮层中钙调神经磷酸酶活力的时空变化

以ＰＮＰＰ为底物测定了超离心制备的大鼠出生后早期和成年大脑皮层亚细胞各组分中钙调神经磷酸酶的活力。实验结果表明：（ｌ）钙调神经磷酸酶活力广泛地存在于胞液和突触部分,并且各亚细胞组分有明显差异。成年大鼠大脑皮层中ＣａＮ活力相对最高水平是在突触体,突触质,胞液,重的和轻的突触膜部分。（２）大鼠大脑皮层突触体中ＣａＮ活力在出生后第２周和第３周出现高峰的平台期,这与突触发生的高峰期是一致的。在胞液和重的突触膜中ＣａＮ活力最高水平是在出生后的第７ｄ,而在突触质和轻的突触膜中是在第２０ｄ。总之,这些发现证实,在脑发育期间,ＣａＮ活力是依照区域和时间性控制的,提示ＣａＮ可能参与了突触功能作用。

Human RNaseP RNA and nucleolar 7-2 RNA share conserved ‘To’ antigen-binding domains

RNase P in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is a ribonucleoprotein that cleaves tRNA precursors to generate the 5 termini of the mature tRNAs. Many patients with autoimmune diseases produce antibodies against a 40 kDa protein (designatedTo orTh antigen) which is an integral component of eukaryotic RNaseP as well as nucleolar 7-2 RNP which is identical to the mitochondrial RNA processing (MRP) RNP. Interestingly, theTo antigen found in human cells and the C5 protein, the only protein component ofE. coli RNaseP, are antigenically related. In this study, we show that a 56 nucleotide-long sequence, corresponding to nucleotides 20–75 near the 5 end of human RNaseP RNA, is sufficient to bind theTo antigen. We previously showed that the humanTo antigen binds to a short distinct structural domain near the 5 end of human 7-2/MRP RNA. There is no obvious primary sequence homology between theTo antigen binding sites in RNaseP RNA and 7-2/MRP RNA; however, these sequences are capable of assuming a similar secondary structure which corresponds to the recently proposed cage structure for RNaseP RNAs and 7-2/MRP RNA (Forster and Altman (1989) Cell 62: 407–409). These data are supportive of the idea that these two RNAs may have evolved from a common progenitor molecule.     

Effects of irradiation on neuropeptide expression in rat salivary gland and spinal cord

Summary It is well-known that a large number of factors can influence the expression of neuropeptides in the nervous system. In the present study, the effects of unilateral and bilateral irradiation to the rat head and neck on the expression of neuropeptides in the innervation of the submandibular gland and in the ganglionic cells of the submandibular ganglion was examined ten days and six months after treatment. Antisera directed against enkephalin and bombesin and immunohistochemical methods were used. The effects of bilateral irradiation on the staining pattern of various neuropeptides in the cervical spinal cord were also studied. In the submandibular gland and in the submandibular ganglionic cells, there was a markedly increased neuropeptide expression ten days after bilateral treatment, as seen after staining with both antisera used, while no changes occurred after unilateral treatment. Six months after treatment, the pattern of neuropeptide expression in the submandibular gland/ganglion corresponded to that seen in controls. Irradiation did not lead to any changes in the staining pattern of neuropeptides in the spinal cord. The observations show that there is a great complexity in the susceptibility of nervous tissues to radiotherapy with respect to influences on the expression of neuropeptides.
