人白介素6受体基因在痘苗病毒载体系统中的表达

人ＩＬ－６受体是一个在各种细胞上广泛表达的跨膜糖蛋白分子,是ＩＬ－６发挥细胞效应所必需的。本文通过将ＩＬ－６ＲｃＤＮＡ重组到痘苗病毒的ＴＫ基因中构建成重组痘苗病毒ＶＩＬ６Ｒ。细胞原位杂交和ＡＰＡＡＰ染色结果表明,感染ＶＩＬ６Ｒ后的Ｖｅｒｏ细胞中,ＩＬ－６Ｒ在ｍＲＮＡ和蛋白水平上均呈现较强的表达。Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ分析所表达的分子量为８０ｋＤ,表明所表达的产物是糖基化的。ＩＬ－６结合试验表明,表达的膜ＩＬ－６Ｒ能够结合ｒＩＬ－６,说明它是有功能的。利用ＶＩＬ６Ｒ免疫小鼠后,能够刺激较强的抗体产生。从而为进一步研究ＩＬ－６Ｒ的信号传导和构效关系提供了基础。     

Dielectric properties of human red blood cells in suspension at radio frequencies

Dielectric properties of human red blood cells (RBCs) in suspension (hematocrit 50%) from 243 healthy persons (120 males, 123 females) were measured at 25 °C in a frequency range of 1–500 MHz, with a coaxial transmission line reflection method (one-side measurement). The measuring system, controlled by an IBM-PC computer, was composed of a network analyzer (HP4195A), an impedance test adapter (HP41951-61001), a coaxial line sensor, and a temperature-controlling set. The data measured revealed a statistically significant age dependence, with a critical age of about 49 years, above which permittivity and conductivity of human RBCs in suspension decreased significantly. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Evidence that Prostaglandin E2 Can Block Calcium-Activated 86Rb Efflux from Rat Brain Synaptosomes via a Protein Kinase C-Dependent Mechanism

Abstract: The effects of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) on ⁸⁶Rb efflux from rat brain synaptosomes were studied to explore its role in nerve ending potassium (K⁺) channel modulation. A selective dose-dependent inhibition of the calcium-activated charybdotoxin-sensitive component of efflux was found upon application of PGE₂. No significant effect was seen on basal and voltage-dependent components over the concentration range of 10–⁸ to 10–⁵M. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors H-7 (10 μM) and staurosporine (100 nM), as well as prolonged preincubation (90 min) with 40-phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate, which has been reported to down-regulate PKC, abolished the PGE₂-in- duced inhibition, whereas HA1004 (10 μM) and Rp-3′,5’cyclic phosphorothioate (100 nM), which are relatively more selective for protein kinase A than PKC, did not. 4β-Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (100 nM), an activator of PKC, produced a similar inhibition of the Ca²⁺-dependent component of ⁸⁶Rb efflux but also had no effect on the basal and voltage-dependent components. These data suggest that PGE₂ can inhibit rat brain nerve ending calcium-activated ⁸⁶Rb efflux, and this inhibition may involve PKC activation.     

Retinoic acid modulates the pattern of cell division in embryos ofLymnaea stagnalis (Mollusca)

All-trans retinoic acid is well known as a modulator of positional specification in vertebrate development. A similar mechanism may operate in molluscan development. Molluscan development is characterized by an invariant pattern of cell divisions, which allows the study of individual cells in the developing organism. Low concentrations of exogenous retinoic acid applied during gastrulation affect the cell division pattern in the early larval stage of the molluscLymnaea stagnalis. A few cells from the apical plate, a larval organ consisting of seven large cleavage-arrested cells, were induced by retinoic acid to resume cell division. They typically formed an area of proliferating small cells that resembles the adjacent areas of precursor cells of adult ectoderm. The identification of individual cells that are transformed by retinoic acid may provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying positional specification within the embryo.

杂交水稻及其“三系”线粒体DNA的AP—PCR指纹图谱

为了研究水稻（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ．）细胞质雄性不育（ＣＭＳ）与线粒体基因组的关系,应用ＡＰ－ＰＣＲ 分析,用７ 个任意单引物对６ 种水稻品系线粒体ＤＮＡ 进行了扩增。水稻线粒体ＤＮＡ 的ＡＰ－ＰＣＲ 产物可分为三种类型：（１）所有供试品系均能扩增的片段,它们代表了线粒体ＤＮＡ 在进化上的保守性序列。有４ 个引物检测到这类片段。（２）２ 个以上水稻品系共同出现而在全部供试材料间存在差异的扩增片段,这类片段是检测水稻线粒体ＤＮＡ多态性的主要来源。（３）一种细胞质类型所特有的扩增片段,从引物Ｒ２ 和Ｖ５ 的扩增产物中发现了这类片段,它们可能与ＣＭＳ有关联。另外,ＷＡ型不育系珍汕９７Ａ 与其杂种之间在６ 个引物的扩增图谱上均存在不同程度的差异,说明两者的线粒体ＤＮＡ序列结构可能存在某种差别

河西走廊不同生态型芦苇核酸代谢季节动态研究

分布在甘肃河西走廊的４ 种生态型芦苇（Ｐｈｒａｇｍ ｉｔｅｓｃｏｍ ｍ ｕｎｉｓＴｒｉｎ．）的核酸代谢季节变化有差异。盐化草甸芦苇ＲＮＡ 含量持续增加,ＤＮＡ 含量相对稳定,其它３ 种生态型芦苇的ＲＮＡ 和ＤＮＡ 含量以５月份为最高。过渡带芦苇的ＲＮＡ 含量、沼泽芦苇及沙丘芦苇的ＤＮＡ含量９ 月份略有增高。盐化草甸芦苇与过渡带芦苇的ＤＮａｓｅ和ＲＮａｓｅ的活性７ 月份最高,沼泽芦苇与沙丘芦苇的ＤＮａｓｅ和ＲＮａｓｅ活性５—９ 月份呈增高趋势。盐化草甸芦苇的ＤＮＡ 和ＲＮＡ 合成活性不断升高,过渡带芦苇和沼泽芦苇的ＤＮＡ 和ＲＮＡ 合成活性及沙丘芦苇的ＲＮＡ 合成活性５—９月份均降低,仅沙丘芦苇的ＤＮＡ合成活性增强。ＲＮＡ 聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳分析结果表明,４ 种生态型芦苇均含有２５Ｓ、２３Ｓ、１８Ｓ、１６Ｓ大分子量ｒＲＮＡ 和小分子量５．８Ｓ、５Ｓ、４．５ＳｒＲＮＡ 及４ＳｔＲＮＡ。大分子量ＲＮＡ 的含量高于小分子量ＲＮＡ 含量。不同生态型及同一生态型芦苇的不同发育时期,相同的ＲＮＡ 组分含量各不相同。且发育过程中２３Ｓ、１８Ｓ、１６ＳｒＲＮＡ 在不同月份发生不同程度的降解。由此,我们认为,核酸代谢的差异性是４ 种生态型由生长转入衰
