建立以TK基因为标记将外源基因导入臭曲霉（Asper—gillus...

A new system for selection of transformed Aspergillus foetidus was reported. In this system, TK- A. foetidus which were constructed by homologous recombination of mutated TK gene of vaccinia virus with TK gene of A. foetidus were screened by adding BUdR in agar plates. Conditions for screen of TK+ A. foetidus strain, transformation of A. foetidus and selection of transformed TK- A. foetidus have been studied. By using this system, several transformed A. foetidus which contained HBsAg gene derived bf a promoter H8 cloned from genomic DNA of A. foetidus were isolated. It was demonstrated that HBsAg gene was integrated into the chromosome DNA of A. foetidus by Southern blot after many passages of spores. ELISA showed that HBsAg was positive in the growth medium (p/n = 20). The 22 nm particles which were very similar to the HBsAg particles in human serum were found in the growth medium by immunoelectromicroscope. Western blot also gave the specific bands. All these data showed that HBsAg gene was expressed in A. foetidus and the products were secreted into the growth medium. The selection system using TK gene as marker could generally be used to study the expression of foreign gene in A. foetidus.     

神经营养因子基因转移载体研究进展

基因治疗可能是预防神经元变性的最有用的方法。腺病毒载体、腺相关病毒载体及逆转录病毒载体等，作为将神经营养因子基因转移珐以非神经元细胞为靶细胞的主要方法，具有潜在的区域特异性、持续性、而受性的特点，并能稳定表达神经营养因子蛋白，右逆转衰老等多种因素导致的胆碱能神经元变性，引起功能的恢复。     

珐琅质如何拯救牙齿

没有光和氧，微生物也能生存150万年之久，这发生在南极数百英尺厚的冰下，科学家通过分析泰勒冰川偶尔流出的红色水样（富含铁）发现了它们的存在。基因检测则显示这些微生物类似于今天海洋环境中的微生物。科学家认为，该微生物曾经生活在海洋，约150万年～200万年前海洋被冰川截断形成池塘，并最终被冰河覆盖，微生物也与世隔绝。至于它们为何能在没有光和氧的条件下存活数百年之久，很有可能它们能通过一种偶联的铁～硫代谢将水中的硫酸盐还原，并获得能量。     

PNAS：微生物基因测序可提高生物燃料产出效率

据物理学家组织网5月15日（北京时间）报道，美国联合生物能源研究所（JBEI）通过新的实验方法和基因测序分析，发现了细菌耐受有毒盐溶液的生理机制。有望大大提高微生物抵抗生物燃料生产过程中所使用的盐溶液毒性的能力。相关论文发表在5月14日的美国《国家科学院院刊》网站上。     

F10蛋白及mRNA在部分正常组织及癌组织中的表达

目的:了解F10基因在部分正常组织及肿瘤组织中的表达情况。方法:利用原位杂交和免疫组化方法对F10在部分正常组织和肿瘤组织中的mRNA和蛋白表达情况进行分析。结果:F10基因不仅在腺癌组织中表达呈阳性,在鳞癌组织中表现出较腺癌更强的强阳性,并且在正常组织中也有一定的表达。结论:F10是一个在多种组织普遍表达的细胞内蛋白,其功能可能与物质转运相关。     

新一代测序仪将改变生物技术研究的未来

设置在世界各国的大约600台新一代测序仪中．现阶段日本大约拥有20台。日本文部科学省计划在本年度内提出测序基地扩建的补充预算要求。最近十几年间基因测序变得快速化和低成本化，其原因是材料的制作工艺提高以及测序仪的性能提升。最近，
