Expression of a soluble form of CTLA4 on macrophage and its biological activity.

Interaction between cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4(CTLA4,CD152) and B7 molecules (B7-1 and B7-2) is of importance in the cellular events of lymphocyte,including antigen-specific T-cell activation and induction of autoreactive T-cell.We describe haere the first introduction of a murine soluble CTLA4 gene,CTLA4Ig,to Mm1 cells,a macrophagic cell line.CTLA4Ig was successfully expressed on Mm1 cells and the expressed CTLA4Ig was found to be functionally active in their binding to B7 molecules by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence studies.The biological activity of CTLA4Ig from the transfected Mm1 cells was studied and showed inhibitory activity on mixed lymphocyte culture.A high CTLA4Ig producing macrophagic cell line was obtained.As Mm1 cells were regarded as difficult for gene transfection and there has so far been no report on expression of CTLA4Ig gene on Mm1 cells,these results suggested that the CELA4Ig expressing Mm1 cells could be useful for analysis of CTLA4 and B8 molecule interaction in both macrophage and T-cell.     

Growth induction of hepatic stimulator substance in hepatocytes through its regulation on EGF receptors

The cytosolic liver-specific growth factor-hepatic stimulator substance (HSS) has been shown to be able to amplify the rat hepatkocyte proliferation responded to BGF.In order to get more insight into the mechanism,the regulatory effect of HSS on EGF-receptor (EGF-R) and the receptor phosphorylation at molecular level was studied.HSS partially purified from weanling rat liver was given to cultured hepatocytes and its influence on EGF-R specific binding and internalization as well as mRNA expression were investigated.The results showed that preincubation of hepatocytes with HSS could lead to an increase in [^125I]-EGF binding to its receptors and inhibit EGF-induced receptor down-regulation.Furthermore,the overexpression of EGF-R mRNA stimulated by HSS was seen during 2-12 h after the incubation.Additionally,it was demonstrated with human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells in Western blot that the EGF-R expression and the receptor autophosphorylation were increased with dose/timedependency after HSS treatment.These results strongly suggest that the mechanism of HSS action on hepatocyte growth might be related to its modulation on EGF-R and receptor-mediated signaling transfuction.

睾丸特异抗原C_2B细胞抗原决定簇的定位

免疫性不育病人的血清（ＩＰＳ）能１００％地抑制人体外受精．用该血清筛选人睾丸ｃＤＮＡ基因表达文库,发现了一种新的睾丸特异抗原（称作Ｃ２）．通过ＤＮＡ顺序研究,并与基因库中的有关同源性基因数据进行比较,证实Ｃ２是一个新的特异蛋白．Ｃ２基因仅与睾丸组织的ｍＲＮＡ杂交．该克隆在大肠杆菌中所表达的融合蛋白能够被３个不同的不育病人血清识别．利用嵌套缺失和Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ印迹的方法研究其抗原决定簇定位,发现Ｂ细胞抗原决定簇在羧基端２９个氨基酸范围内．用ＧＣＧ软件分析该抗原的氨基酸的亲水性和疏水性以及其存在于蛋白表面的可能性,确定其中的１５个氨基酸为抗原决定簇所必需,并合成了多肽

疟疾多抗原表位基因表达载体的构建及其在烟草中的表达

本文首次报道疟疾多表位抗原基因在转基因烟草中表达成功。疟疾是当今最需要研究有效疫苗的主要传染病之一。过去的研究表明,ＡＷＴＥ基因编码的疟疾多种抗原表位是有效的抗疟表位,ＣＴＢ基因编码的霍乱毒素Ｂ亚基,是一种既能引起细胞免疫又能引起体液免疫的免疫载体和佐剂。本研究把ＡＷＴＥ－ＣＴＢ融合基因构建到植物表达载体ｐＢＶＧ－ｎｙ１上,采用共转化的方法,通过基因枪导入转化烟草。经ＰＣＲ扩增ＡＷＴＥ－ＣＴＢ基因片段检测,证实了疟疾多表位抗原基因在转基因烟草中的整合。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ蛋白电泳结果显示转基因烟草中表达了ＡＷＴＥ－ＣＴＢ融合基因分子量相同的特异蛋白。经抗原性分析实验和Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ免疫印迹实验结果表明,特异表达的融合蛋白可与ＣＴＢ和ＡＷＴＥ抗体结合,具有ＣＴＢ和ＡＷＴＥ抗原性。
