睾丸间质细胞—研究自体吞噬的一种正常细胞模型

In the present study, we tried to estimate, in a semiquantitative way, the relative frequency of the autophagic activity in various cell types under physiological condition. The results indicated that the highest activity appeared to be in the Leydig cells of rat testes. Autophagosomes were frequently observed in electron microscope photographs of Leydig cells, which provide a good model to study the autophagocytosis in normal cells. The autophagic process in Leydig cells was observed with the electron microscope in preparations treated to show CMPase activity. The mode of formation of autophagosomes in Leydig cells can be divided into three steps. Step 1, flattened membranous elements expand to enclose a small cytoplasmic territory to form pre-autophagosome. Step 2, The double membrane profile of the pre-autophagosome then completely encloses the cytoplasmic territory to form early autophagosome in which structurally normal organelles are contained. Step 3, the transformation of an early autophagosome into a late one is accompanied by the loss of one of the two delimiting membranes, the partial disintegration of the enclosed content and simultaneous acquisition of acid phosphatase activity. The enzymatic reactivity is acquired following a close association with the lysosomes. The late autophagosome then reaches the cell surface and appear to exocytose their residual content.     

A procedure for the construction of linear restriction fragment maps of a 50- to 100-kb DNA.

A simple and effective procedure for the construction of linear restriction fragment maps was developed. Using a two-enzyme digestion, two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis procedure, all the restriction fragments in a 50- to 100-kb DNA can be individually resolved and displayed on a 2-D plane. This 2-D gel pattern, with appropriate markers, provides a fixed set of x, y coordinates for each fragment obtained from the single and double digestion as well as the relationship between the two steps. A matrix is constructed from the 2-D pattern. The vertical column shows all the singly digested individual fragments and their sizes obtained from each restriction enzyme treatment, and the dividing horizontal row shows all the doubly digested DNA fragments and their sizes after treatment with two enzymes. The order of arrangement is always from the smallest to the largest fragments. Using this matrix, two linear DNA restriction maps for these two enzymes can be simultaneously constructed in a self-reconfirming manner. As examples for this procedure, we describe the construction of two linear restriction fragment maps, a combination of EcoRI and BamHI digestion as well as a combination of EcoRI and HindIII digestion of lambda-phage DNA.     

粉纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒诱导的胸苷激酶特性研究

粉纹夜蛾(Trichoplusia ni)核型多角体病毒(TnNPV)感染草地贪夜蛾(Spodop-tera frugiperda)细胞后能诱导提高胸苷激酶的活性。不论是正常或感染细胞中的胸苷激酶都可将脱氧胞苷磷酸化,酶活最适pH及Mg~( )离子浓度值基本相同,DEAE-纤维素和Cibacron blue-sepharose柱层析所得酶活性图谱亦相似。TnNPV在胸苷激酶缺陷型的草地贪夜蛾细胞中能正常复制,但被感染细胞不具有胸苷激酶活性。由此可以确定,经TnNPV感染诱导后,活性有所提高的胸苷激酶不是病毒基因编码的。     

含甲肝病毒基因的重组痘苗病毒在动物体内产生针对甲肝病毒的中和抗体

用DNA重组技术得到的含甲肝病毒基因的重组痘苗病毒,可在家兔体内产生ELISA竞争抑制与中和抗体。基础免疫后,动物体内竞争抑制抗体滴度为10,加强免疫后达到80。由重组病毒产生的抗体中和指数比甲肝病毒产生者略低。     

应用纯化的重组Epstein-Barr病毒早期抗原建立检测鼻咽癌病人血清IgA/EA抗体的ELISA方法

利用凝胶和离子交换柱(Mono Q)两次层析,将大肠杆菌表达的EB病毒早期抗原P138片段多肽纯化。以此P138为抗原,增加鼠抗人IgA单克隆抗体以扩大IgA的反应,建立了三步ELISA法。用本法检查了100例鼻咽癌病人和63例正常人血清中抗EB病毒IgA/EA抗体,病人血清的阳性检出率为86％,正常人有3例阳性(4.7％)。此结果表明,三步ELISA法较常用的间接ELISA法(阳性检出率为71％)敏感。     

外源脂肪酸及胆固醇对莱氏衣原体膜糖脂含量的影响

 <正> 单葡萄糖甘油二酯(MGDG)和双葡萄糖甘油二酯(DGDG)是莱氏衣原体膜上主要的极性脂。糖脂的生理功能过去很少研究,至今仍不清楚。近年来实验结果表明,MGDG在膜上容易形成六角形Ⅱ结构,而DGDG则形成脂双层结构。六角形Ⅱ结构的出现与生物膜的生理功能的关系是当前瞩目的研究内容。本文首次研究了外源脂肪酸和胆固酵对莱氏衣原体AIH089菌株膜上糖脂含量的影响。

微生物中控制脯氨酸合成的渗透调节基因(osm基因)的转移成功及其抗渗透胁迫能力的提高(Csonka 1980,1981,Le Rudulier和Valentine 1981),启发科学家们把注意力投向高等植物,特别是有经济价值的作物(Bodnar等1989,Nelson等1988,1989,Sanada等1989,Higgins等1987)。采用蛋白质合成抑制剂亚胺环
