Toto bodies are eosinophilic structures that resemble the cells of the superficial cell layer of the oral epithelium. Toto bodies commonly are associated with inflammatory gingival and other mucosal lesions including pyogenic granuloma, irritational fibroma, epulis fissuratum, peripheral giant cell granuloma and inflammatory hyperplastic gingivitis. We evaluated staining characteristics of Toto bodies to establish their origin and to identify their significance in lesions. We investigated pyogenic granuloma, fibroma and leukoplakia with epithelium that exhibited Toto bodies after hematoxylin and eosin (staining. Sections were stained with Alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff and Ayoub-Shklar stains to evaluate staining intensity and distribution. More Toto bodies were found in pyogenic granuloma than in fibroma and leukoplakia. PAS and Alcian blue staining exhibited mild intensity and did not establish the origin of Toto bodies. High staining intensity and diffuse distribution of stain was observed using Ayoub-Shklar staining, which indicated that Toto bodies originate from keratin. 相似文献

Analysis of AGE modified proteins and RAGE expression in HER2/neu negative invasive ductal carcinoma
Korwar AM Bhonsle HS Chougale AD Kote SS Gawai KR Ghole VS Koppikar CB Kulkarni MJ 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2012,419(3):490-494
Cancer is associated with increased glycolysis and carbonyl stress. In view of this, AGE modified proteins were identified from clinical breast cancer tissue using 2DE-immunoblot and mass-spectrometry. These proteins were identified to be serotransferrin, fibrinogen gamma chain, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, annexin II, prohibitin and peroxiredoxin 6, which have established role in cancer. Further, RAGE expression and its downstream signaling proteins NADPH oxidase and NF-kB were studied. Role of these AGE modified proteins and RAGE signaling in breast cancer is discussed. 相似文献

Consumer demands for ‘freshness’ in processed foods has been given increasing attention by food processing industries by searching for minimally processed products. Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) mediated browning is a major cause of undesirable flavors and nutritional losses in fruit juices. Here the anti-browning efficiency of glutathione (GSH, reduced form) and cinnamic acid (CA) in apple juice is evaluated. It was observed that the rate of the browning reaction could be efficiently delayed using GSH and CA, which act as inhibitors of PPO. Kinetic studies confirm that GSH and CA are non-competitive and competitive inhibitors of PPO respectively. 相似文献

Background
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a viral zoonosis that historically affects livestock production and human health in sub-Saharan Africa, though epizootics have also occurred in the Arabian Peninsula. Whilst an effective live-attenuated vaccine is available for livestock, there is currently no licensed human RVF vaccine. Replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus (ChAd) vectors are an ideal platform for development of a human RVF vaccine, given the low prevalence of neutralizing antibodies against them in the human population, and their excellent safety and immunogenicity profile in human clinical trials of vaccines against a wide range of pathogens.Methods
Here, in BALB/c mice, we evaluated the immunogenicity and efficacy of a replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector, ChAdOx1, encoding the RVF virus envelope glycoproteins, Gn and Gc, which are targets of virus neutralizing antibodies. The ChAdOx1-GnGc vaccine was assessed in comparison to a replication-deficient human adenovirus type 5 vector encoding Gn and Gc (HAdV5-GnGc), a strategy previously shown to confer protective immunity against RVF in mice.Results
A single immunization with either of the vaccines conferred protection against RVF virus challenge eight weeks post-immunization. Both vaccines elicited RVF virus neutralizing antibody and a robust CD8+ T cell response.Conclusions
Together the results support further development of RVF vaccines based on replication-deficient adenovirus vectors, with ChAdOx1-GnGc being a potential candidate for use in future human clinical trials.16.
DPT, a combination vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is available since many years and still continued in the national immunisation schedule of many countries. Although highly potent, reactions to DPT vaccine are well known, mainly attributed to the factors like Pertussis component, aluminum adjuvant and lower purity of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. The latter most important aspect has become a matter of concern, specially for the preparation of next generation combination vaccines with more number of antigens in combination with DPT.Purity of toxoid is expressed as Lf (Limes flocculation) per mg of protein nitrogen. The Kjeldahl method (KM) of protein nitrogen estimation suggested by WHO and British Pharmacopoeia is time consuming and less specific. Need has been felt to explore an alternative method which is quick and more specific for toxoid protein determination. DC (detergent compatible) protein assay, an improved Lowry's method, has been found to be much more advantageous than Kjeldahl method. 相似文献

A single Agrobacterium strain harbouring two binary plasmids was successfully used for the first time to develop a marker-free transgenic rice of
improved nutritional value. Sixty-eight T0 co-transformants were obtained in three indica rice cultivars—two popular high-yielding Bangladeshi varieties (BR28 and BR29), and one high-iron rice cultivar (IR68144).
Marker-free lines were obtained from 14 out of 24 selected co-transformants screened in the T1 generation. The accumulation of total carotenoids in polished T2 rice seeds of the primary transgenic VPBR29-17-37 reached levels of up to 3.0 μg/g, with the level of β-carotene reaching
1.8 μg/g. In the cultivars BR28 and IR68144, total carotenoid levels in the transformants reached 2.0 μg/g of polished rice
seeds. The levels of lutein and other carotenoids in the seeds were also significantly enhanced. T1 plants obtained from primary transgenics with simple gene-integration patterns tended to have a lower carotenoid content
than the original parental lines. This study describes the development of marker-free transgenic rice lines containing high
levels of carotenoids, and addresses the relationship between the rearrangement of transgenes and the presence of metabolic
end products in transgenic rice. 相似文献

Expression of lauroyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase in brassica napus seeds induces pathways for both fatty acid oxidation and biosynthesis and implies a set point for triacylglycerol accumulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
Expression of a California bay lauroyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase (MCTE) in developing seeds of transgenic oilseed rape alters the fatty acid composition of the mature seed, resulting in up to 60 mol% of laurate in triacylglycerols. In this study, we examined the metabolism of lauric acid and 14C-acetate in developing seeds of oilseed rape that express high levels of MCTE. Lauroyl-CoA oxidase activity but not palmitoyl-CoA oxidase activity was increased several-fold in developing seeds expressing MCTE. In addition, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase activities were six- and 30-fold higher, respectively, in high-laurate developing seeds. Control seeds incorporated 14C-acetate almost entirely into fatty acids, whereas in seeds expressing MCTE, only 50% of the label was recovered in lipids and the remainder was in a range of water-soluble components, including sucrose and malate. Together, these results indicate that the pathways for beta-oxidation and the glyoxylate cycle have been induced in seeds expressing high levels of MCTE. Although a substantial portion of the fatty acid produced in these seeds is recycled to acetyl-CoA and sucrose through the beta-oxidation and glyoxylate cycle pathways, total seed oil is not reduced. How is oil content maintained if lauric acid is inefficiently converted to triacylglycerol? The levels of acyl carrier protein and several enzymes of fatty acid synthesis were increased two- to threefold at midstage development in high-laurate seeds. These results indicate that a coordinate induction of the fatty acid synthesis pathway occurs, presumably to compensate for the lauric acid lost through beta-oxidation or for a shortage of long-chain fatty acids. 相似文献

The 18S and 5.8S rDNA genes and the internal transcribed spacers ITS-1 and
ITS-2 of ciliates living in the hindgut of frogs, millipedes, and
cockroaches were analyzed in order to study the evolution of intestinal
protists. All ciliates studied here belong to the genus Nycrotherus.
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these ciliates from a monophyletic
group that includes the distantly related anaerobic free-living
heterotrichous ciliates Metopus palaeformis and Metopus contortus. The
intestinal ciliates from the different vertebrate and invertebrate hosts
are clearly divergent at the level of their rDNA repeats. This argues for
the antiquity of the associations and a predominantly vertical
transmission. This mode of transmission seems to be controlled primarily by
the behavior of the host. The different degrees of divergence between
ciliates living in different strains of one and the same cockroach species
most likely reflect the different geographical origins of the hosts. In
addition, host switches must have occurred during the evolution of
cockroaches, since identical ciliates were found only in distantly related
hosts. These phenomena prevent the reconstruction of potential cospeciation
events.
