Construction of a trivalent candidate Shigella vaccine strain with host-vector balanced-lethal system

A trivalent liveShigella vaccine candidate FSD01 against S.flexneri 2a, S.sonnei and S.dysenteriae I was constructed. This candidate strain was based on the S.flexneri 2a vaccine T32. By homologous recombination exchange, the chromosomalasd gene of T32 was site-specifically inactivated, resulting in the strain unable to grow normally in LB broth, while anotherasd gene of S.mutans was employed to construct an Asd⁺ complementary vector. This combination ofasd ^- host/Asd⁺ vector formed a balanced-lethal expression system in T32 strain. By use of this system, two important protective antigen genes coding for S.sonnei Form I antigen and Shiga toxin B subunit were cloned and expressed in T32, which led to the construction of trivalent candidate vaccine FSD01. Experimental results showed that this strain was genetically stable, but its recombinant plasmid was non-resistant. Moreover, it was able to effectively express trivalent antigens in one host and induce protective responses in mice against the challenges of the above threeShigella strains.     

Sequence analysis of lacZ- mutations induced by ion beam irradiation in double-stranded M13mp18DNA

While M13mp18 double-stranded DNA was irradiated with ion beam, and transfected intoE. coli JM103, a decrease of transfecting activity was discovered. The lacZ^- mutation frequency at 20% survival could reach (3.6–16.8) × 10⁴, about 2, 3–10 times that of unirradiated M13DNA. Altogether, 27 IacZ^-mutants were selected, 10 of which were used for sequencing. 7 of the sequenced mutants show base changes in 250-bp region examined (the remaining 3 mutants probably have base changes outside the regions sequenced). 5 of the base-changed mutants contain more than one mutational base sites (some of them even have 5–6 mutational base sites in 250-bp region examined); this dense distribution of base changes in polysites has seldom been seen in X-rays, Y-rays or UV induced DNA mutations. Our experiments also showed that the types of base changes include transitions(50%), transversions (45%) and deletion (5%); no addition or duplication was observed. The transitions were mainly C→T and A→G; the transversions were mainly C→A and C→G. The mutations involving cytosine residue (in the template strand) constitute about 60% of all the base changes observed. In comparison with the surrounding sequences of mutational base sites, the base located between TG and CT is found to be easily substituted.

蒲洼农业生态系统能流的稳定性及其动态

在研究生态系统结构及功能的基础上,本文基于１９７５－１９９０年的数据,对蒲洼农业生态系统能流的稳定性及其动态进行了分析。通过建立能流模型,由李雅普诺夫稳定性原理,得出该生态系统能流的平衡态具有渐近稳定性。动态数学模拟表明,目前该系统的能量流动正从不稳定状态向稳定和平衡态过渡,这一过程大约需要７ａ时间。     

模拟浮游生物的季节变化

本文讨论了海洋中光合作用过程和计算光合作用的速率方程。运用垂直平均值的浮游生物模型研究了在一个固定站和扩展湾流体系中,浮游植物、浮游动物和营养盐的季节变化。结果表明,夹卷过程将含营养盐丰富的中层水带入了混合层,从而导致浮游植物的生长;摸式较好地给出了扩展湾流体系中的水华季,基本上得到了浮游生物的生活周期。使用不同的参数值进行了若干实验,并对结果进行了讨论。     

小鼠内细胞团标志蛋白的性质、分离和纯化

我们用二相电泳方法在小鼠畸胎瘤系统中发现小鼠胚胎内细胞团标志蛋白双联体(分子量39,000,p14.4—4.5)也存在于未分化的胚胎癌细胞株(PSAI-NG2、F9、PCC3)中,但在已分化细胞株滋养层母细胞癌TDM1中用二相电泳方法不能检查到这蛋白。把EC细胞分为细胞质、细胞核、染色体三部分再进行检查,可以清楚地看到这蛋白主要存在于染色体部分。把染色体再分成0.35M NaCl可溶性,2M NaCl可溶性及2M NaCl不溶性三个组份时,则这蛋白出现在0.35M NaCl可溶性组分中,表明它是与染色体疏松结合的非组蛋白染色体蛋白。这蛋白是一种耐热性蛋白,在80℃受热10分钟不能使它变性。用制备型SDS聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳对经热处理的0.36M NaCl可溶性染色体蛋白进行分离,可得到电泳纯的小鼠内细胞团标志蛋白。由于这蛋白约占细胞总蛋白0.6%,与染色体疏松结合,又与早期胚胎细胞的多能性相关,提示它在维持多能细胞染色体构象方面有重要作用。

采用DNase消化法从大鼠肝染色质分离得到富有转录活性的DNA(sDNA)。sDNA琼脂糖凝胶电泳,在0.5—6Kb范围内背景有一片荧光,小于1Kb范围内,出现明显区带。sDNA为探针与大鼠正常肝核RNA杂交百分数(29.5%),为以总核DNA为探针杂交百分数(8.2%)的3.6倍,并高于sDNA与大鼠肝癌核RNA杂交百分数(16.4%).     

萌发前后燕麦种子内酸性磷酸酶的细胞化学研究

组织化学定位显示,在燕麦盾片和糊粉层细胞内,酸性磷酸酶是普遍地存在着的。种子萌发0,1,2天时,酶活性基本局限在细胞质内;细胞核和壁内则无酶活性。但当种子萌发至3—4天时,酶活性在胞质内增加,显示细胞内开始有新的酶产生。这些新产生出来的酶,还被分泌出细胞,进入胞壁。用组织等电点聚焦,基本上反映了与盾片和糊粉层的组织定位一致的酶变化情形。但从这两种组织所得到的同工酶带谱则并不一样。因为从糊粉层可以得到10条清晰的同工酶带(其中6条在糊粉层不清晰)。其次,胚乳的同工酶带谱,与盾片和糊粉层的同工酶带谱也是不完全一样的。
