根癌农杆菌对甘蓝型油菜的转化及转基因植株的再生

用根癌农杆菌（Ａｇｒｏｂａｃｔｅｒｉｕｍ ｔｕｍ ｅｆａｃｉｅｎｓ）共培养法把外源基因导入甘蓝型油菜（Ｂｒａｓｓｉ－ｃａ ｎａｐｕｓＬ．）主要栽培品种“云北２ 号”,获得转基因植株。所用外植体为带有１—２ ｍ ｍ 子叶柄的完整子叶,根癌农杆菌为Ａ２０８ＳＥ（ｐＴｉＴ３７－ＳＥ, ｐＲＯＡ９３）。Ｔｉ质粒ｐＲＯＡ９３ 带有ＮＰＴⅡ及ＧＵＳ嵌合基因。共培养２ 天后转到附加２５ ｍ ｇ／Ｌ卡那霉素的分化培养基（ＭＳ＋ ４．５ ｍ ｇ／ＬＢＡＰ）上。ＡｇＮＯ３ 和羧苄青霉素促进芽的分化,头孢霉素则有抑制作用。最高转化频率为２７％ 。把分化出的茎芽切下,插入含有２５ ｍ ｇ／Ｌ卡那霉素的生根培养基中。羧苄青霉素不利于根的形成。把完整抗性植株移入盛土壤的盆中,生长状况良好。测定β－葡糖苷酸酶活性,８４％ 明显高于对照。以ＮＰＴⅡ基因作探针进行Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ ｂｌｏｔ分析,证实外源基因已插入到植物细胞基因组中     

几种濒危植物及其近缘类群总DNA的提取与鉴定

用低ｐＨ 介质,高盐沉淀蛋白质方法成功地从银杉（Ｃａｔｈａｙａ ａｒｇｙｒｏｐｈｙｌｌａ Ｃｈｕｎ ｅｔＫｕａｎｇ）、矮牡丹（Ｐａｅｏｎｉａ ｓｕｆｆｒｕｔｉｃｏｓａ ｖａｒ． ｓｐｏｎｔａｎｅａ）、南川升麻（Ｃｉｍ ｉｃｉｆｕｇａ ｎａｎｃｈｕａｎｅｎｓｉｓＨｓｉａｏ）、裂叶沙参（Ａｄｅｎｏｐｈｏｒａ ｌｏｂｏｐｈｙｌｌａ）的同属种泡沙参（Ａ． ｐｏｔａｎｉｎｉｉ）等植物中提取和部分纯化了细胞总ＤＮＡ,并对其产率、质量和纯度作了鉴定。此方法的关键是用了一个低ｐＨ提取介质,它能有效防止组织破碎及沉淀大量材料时的电离化作用及酚化合物的进一步氧化。所得ＤＮＡ 不需经氯化铯梯度离心或柱层析,直接可用于限制性片断长度多态性（ＲＦＬＰ）及随机扩增的ＤＮＡ多态性（ＲＡＰＤ）等分子水平的遗传标记。为检测濒危植物的遗传多样性提供了一套迅速、简便和可靠的技术方案     

Mother-cub relationships in giant pandas in the Qinling Mountains,China, with comment on rescuing abandoned cubs

Six cases of mother-cub relationships in wild giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) were observed in the Qinling Mountains, China. It was found that panda cubs are normally left alone in the den for 4–8 h while mothers forage. The mother's absence during bouts of foraging should be considered when rescuing abandoned cubs in order to avoid adding to the decline of the wild population. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

化学突变具有底物结合部位的单克隆抗体制备含硒抗体酶

开发了一种制备抗体酶的新方法。用二硝基氯苯（ＤＮＣＢ）专一地与谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）的巯基反应,合成出半抗原ＧＳＨ－Ｓ－ＤＮＰ。用戊二醛将半抗原偶联到牛血清白蛋白（ＢＳＡ）上,制成全抗原。再用标准的单抗制备法获得具有ＧＳＨ结合部位的单抗（４Ａ４ＩｇＧ）。用苯甲基磺酞氟（ＰＭＳＦ）和Ｈ２Ｓｅ相继处理该单抗,则将单拉结合部位上的丝氨酸（Ｓｅｒ）突变成硒代半胱氨酸（ＳｅＣｙｓ,因而在单抗结合部位上引入了谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（ＧＰＸ）的催化基团。突变后的单抗具有ＧＰＸ活性,其活力已达到天然ＧＰＸ的数量级水平。动力学行为也与天然ＧＰＸ类似。这种新的含硒抗体酶有优于ＧＰＸ的一些特点。     

Conformation and activity ofPhaseolus coccineus var. rubronanus lectin

The conformation of native and denaturedPhaseolus coccineus var. rubronanus lectin was studied by circular dichroism (CD) and correlated to the hemagglutinating activity. The far-UV CD spectrum at 25°C showed a broad, negative band around 223 nm and a positive one at 196 nm. CD data analysis of the lectin indicated a -sheet-rich protein. At high temperatures, the spectrum was blue-shifted with increasing magnitude; these changes correlated well with the loss of the activity. The conformation of lectin betweenpH 2 and 10 remained essentially unchanged. AtpH 13 the CD spectrum resembled that of unordered form with a negative band near 200 nm and the activity was completely lost. The denatured lectin in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride would be renatured upon diluting the denaturant to 0.75 M; the changes in CD spectrum again correlated well with the loss of the activity. The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the lectin was drastic; it sharply increased thea-helix at the expense of the -sheet and reduced the activity; the changes reached a plateau above 20 mM surfactant.     

Site and mechanism of behavioral tolerance to cocaine: A study of dopamine release in Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats

Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats received i.v. infusions of cocaine hydrochloride (60 mg/kg per day) for 3, 7, and 14 days, or saline for 7 days. Acute cocaine challenge (40 mg/kg, s.c.) was given to treated and control rats 24 hr after the termination of each infusion period. There were no strain differences in brain levels of cocaine during cocaine infusion, nor after cocaine challenges. There were no strain differences in resting levels of [³H]dopamine release. Release of [³H]dopamine decreased in nuclei accumbens of 7- and 14-day cocaine-infused animals. Release of [³H]dopamine was maximal in both brain regions 2 hr after acute cocaine challenge. After 14 days of cocaine infusion, cocaine challenge in both strains reduced [³H]dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens, but not in the striatum; the reduction being greater in Wistar-Kyoto rats. The behavioral tolerance which accompanies similar cocaine infusion regimens may be related to striatal tolerance to cocaine-induced dopamine release.     

分离自母婴肠道的假小链双歧杆菌的耐药性分析

【背景】由于滥用抗生素导致细菌耐药性日益严重。对于双歧杆菌,人们往往注重其益生功能的挖掘而忽视了对其耐药性的研究,存在一定的安全隐患。【目的】检测母婴肠道中假小链双歧杆菌的耐药性,探究婴儿肠道中假小链双歧杆菌耐药性的来源。【方法】利用微量肉汤稀释法测定48株分离自母婴肠道的假小链双歧杆菌对14种抗生素的耐药性,比较分离自不同家庭母婴肠道中假小链双歧杆菌的耐药性。【结果】48株母婴肠道分离株对四环素、氯霉素、新霉素、环丙沙星100%耐药,对其余10种抗生素耐药率依次为：卡那霉素98%、利福平80%、克林霉素78%、甲氧苄啶63%、红霉素59%、庆大霉素43%、链霉素16%、万古霉素14%、氨苄西林6%、利奈唑胺2%。母婴肠道分离株的耐药性无显著差异,分离自同一家庭母婴肠道的菌株具有相似的耐药表型。【结论】分离自母婴肠道的假小链双歧杆菌对多种抗生素具有耐药性,婴儿肠道中假小链双歧杆菌的耐药性可能是由母亲肠道垂直传递而来。

kar交配法转移YACs至新宿主的研究

利用改进的kar交配法,将一个含有340kb人基因组DNA的YAC片段的供体酵母菌株YAC23与受体菌株YLB504进行交配,以选择平板对所形成的候选YAC导入菌进行筛选。经PCR分析,候选YAC导入菌在404bp处有一个扩增带,即具有受体菌株的交配型(MAT α)。进一步用脉冲电泳进行核型鉴定,证实YACs己成功地进入受体,实现了YACs从一个宿主到另一个宿主之间的转移。
