尖角突脐孢菌在稗草和水稻上的萌发和侵染行为比较研究

本试验结合曲利苯兰和荧光素钠两种染色方法的优点,从显微角度研究了尖角突脐孢菌(Exserohilum monoceras)两个菌株X-27和HN-14在稗草和水稻上萌发和侵染行为的差异。结果表明,在寄主稗草上,接种4h后尖角突脐孢菌孢子开始从一端或两端萌发形成初生芽管;10h后芽管顶端膨大形成附着胞,附着在寄主表面,两端萌发的孢子约90%一端败育,仅一端形成成熟附着胞;在接种后24h内成熟附着胞形成率与接种时间成正相关,24h后趋于稳定;16h后在成熟附着胞下方受侵染的细胞内指状吸器开始形成,随后发育为掌状吸器;接种36h后菌丝在组织表面扩展形成网状,同时稗草叶片上显现叶斑病症状,部分菌丝能在细胞间蔓延扩展。在非寄主植物水稻上,同样观察到孢子萌发产生芽管,但是萌发起始时间滞后大约4h,初生菌丝分枝明显减少,且未能观察到附着胞和吸器的产生。     

Fuchsin fluorescence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: the Ziehl-Neelsen stain in a new light

Tuberculosis (TB) is often diagnosed by observation of reddish pink fuchsin-stained Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) stained smears by transmitted light microscopy. MTB too faintly stained with fuchsin to be seen by transmitted light may be detected by their green-excited orange-red fluorescence; this finding may be clinically relevant.     

热带无爪螨体内特异性变应原定位

【目的】探讨热带无爪螨Blomia tropicalis特异性变应原在体内的定位。【方法】制作热带无爪螨石蜡切片, HE染色后光镜观察其内部形态结构。选用对尘螨过敏患者的阳性血清特异性IgE 抗体作探针,免疫组织化学染色分析其特异性抗原存在位置。【结果与结论】免疫组织化学染色可见热带无爪螨中肠、盲囊、结肠的肠壁和内容物及生殖腺等均有阳性反应。其中肠壁组织和肠腔内容物呈强阳性反应,提示肠为特异性抗原的主要存在部位。     

两类专性寄生真菌侵染植物的组织学染色技术初步研究

微量蛋白检测中不同银染方法的比较与分析

随着生物化学技术的不断发展,作为检测SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)中微量蛋白的银染方法也在不断改进和发展.采用4种不同的银染方法检测不同含量的牛血清白蛋白,结果显示单纯的银染过程中如果使用戊二醛固定会使蛋白检出更快速灵敏,而结合考马斯亮蓝的复合银染则较单纯银染灵敏度提高了5～7个数量级.     

蛋白质双向电泳双胺染色方法的改进

讨论了蛋白质双向电泳检测的各种方法,并对本实验室使用过的两种银染方法（非双胺银染及双胺银染）进行对比研究。发现本实验室改进的双胺银染色方法具有以下特点：（1）背景异常清晰,蛋白质与底色反差大;（2）敏感度大大提高,检测最低蛋白质量可达fg级,对微量表达的蛋白质具有极好分离效果。能清晰地检测出低丰度表达的蛋白质。     

血管内皮生长因子蛋白在大鼠睾丸和附睾的表达和定位研究

为探讨血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)在雄性生殖系精子发生发育和成熟过程中的调控作用,应用免疫组化、Periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)染色及蛋白质免疫印迹技术,检测VEGF蛋白在成年大鼠睾丸和附睾的表达和定位情况。Western-blots显示,在大鼠睾丸和附睾内均有VEGF蛋白(约45kD)的表达;免疫组化显示,睾丸内VEGF见于圆形和长形精子细胞、Sertoli细胞和Leydig细胞,免疫阳性产物位于细胞质内。精子细胞的VEGF表达伴随精子细胞顶体发育的全过程,精子残余体呈强阳性。附睾内VEGF表达于附睾管上皮,且有区域和细胞特异性。附睾起始段的所有上皮主细胞内都有VEGF阳性颗粒;头、体、尾各段的VEGF阳性细胞多数与含PAS阳性颗粒的细胞重合,证明为亮细胞;近端附睾的管腔内可见精子头部呈VEGF阳性染色。睾丸、附睾间质血管内皮为VEGF阴性。上述结果表明,VEGF蛋白可由生殖细胞和附睾管上皮细胞直接产生,它可能以自分泌和/或旁分泌的形式共同作用于睾丸和附睾的生殖细胞和血管内皮,直接或间接影响精子的发生、发育和成熟过程,特别是精子顶体的形成过程,并可能与精子在附睾内的成熟有关。     

Identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soils and roots of plants colonizing zinc wastes in southern Poland

 Analysis of the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in roots of Fragaria vesca growing in a heavy metal contaminated site was carried out on a Zn waste site near Chrzanow (southern Poland). The waste substratum was characterized by high contents of Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu and As, and by low levels of N, P and organic matter. Spores of Glomales were isolated by wet sieving and DNA was isolated from individual spores. Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with taxon-specific primers was used to identify the species Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices and Glomus claroideum. Spores of other fungi were morphologically characterized and new taxon-discriminating molecular probes were developed for two of them (Glomus sp. HM-CL4 and HM-CL5) based on variations in the large ribosomal subunit (25S rDNA). High sequence similarities were found between Glomus sp. HM-CL4 and Glomus gerdemanii, and between Glomus sp. HM-CL5 and Glomus occultum. The designed primers were used to characterize the population of AM fungi colonizing the roots of F. vesca collected from the Zn waste site. The analysis, carried out on roots stained with trypan blue, showed that the most effective colonizer was closely related to G. gerdemannii. G. claroideum and the G. occultum-like fungus were slightly less common whilst frequencies of G. intraradices and G. mosseae in roots were much lower. The analysis of mycorrhiza stained with rhodizoniate to localize heavy metal accumulation showed that the stain does not influence the PCR reaction. Seventy percent of the root samples containing positively stained fungal hyphae were found to be colonized by G. mosseae. The data obtained demonstrate the usefulness of nested PCR for studies carried out in polluted areas. It will enable selection of AM fungi which are able to colonize plant roots under heavy metal stress conditions, as well as the identification of fungi showing high in situ accumulation of potentially toxic elements.

粘虫核型多角体病毒919bp片段的PCR双链直接序列测定

本文发展了ＰＣＲ克隆和亚克隆技术制备ＤＮＡ测序模板。首先,我们用ｐＵＣ／Ｍ１３系列质粒的通用正反向引物ＰＣＲ扩增出质粒ｐＢｌｕｅｓｃｒｉｐｔＫＳＤＮＡ的多克隆位点及其侧翼序列,用ＥｃｏＲＶ和ＸｈｏＩ消化成为左右两个引物多克隆臂,与粘虫核型多角体病毒（ＬｓＮＰＶ）的ＥｃｏＲＶ和ＸｈｏＩ约４００ｂｐ和５００ｂｐ片段分别连接,经ＰＣＲ扩增,得到两端具有上述正反向引物结合位点的测序模板,用ｄｄＮＴＰ链终止法／ＰＣＲ扩增／银染色,从片段两端测定了全部９１９ｂｐ序列,这种ｄｄＮＴＰ／ＰＣＲ／银染测序法简化了操作,大大缩短了测序模板的制备时间,易于实现自动化操作。     

DAPI as a Useful Stain for Nuclear Quantitation

A simple-to-use fluorescent stain, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), visualizes nuclear DNA in both living and fixed cells. DAPI staining was used to determine the number of nuclei and to assess gross cell morphology. Following light microscopic analyses, the stained cells were processed for electron microscopy. Cells stained with DAPI showed no ultrastructural changes compared to the appearance of cells not stained with DAPI. DAPI staining allows multiple use of cells eliminating the need for duplicate samples.
