甘肃莲花山淡眉柳莺的繁殖记录及其孵卵行为

2001年6～7月,在甘肃省莲花山自然保护区记录了淡眉柳莺(Phylloscopus humei)繁殖,研究了其孵卵行为。结果表明,窝卵数为(4.3±0.5)枚(4～5,n=4),卵的大小为(14.0±0.4)mm×(11.2±0.4)mm(n=17)。育雏期为(13.8±0.5)d(13～14,n=4)。孵化期内雌鸟日活动期的平均长度为(833.2±40.0)min,平均每天离巢(46.6±12.2)次(n=27),每次离巢时间为(5.3±2.8)min(n=1435),每次在巢时间为(12.7±7.5)min(n=1409),在巢率为72.4%±11.6%(n=21)。雨天在巢和离巢的时间与晴天有显著差异,晴天在巢率为71.5%±12.1%(n=13),雨天在巢率为75.1%±9.0%(n=8)。在整个孵卵期间所有记录到的卵温平均为31.2℃(49066min内连续记录58879次)。雌鸟每次离巢,卵温平均下降(9.4±3.4)℃(n=1450)。     

卵母细胞特异表达φC31整合酶载体pZP3-INT的构建及其在小鼠卵母细胞中的表达

链霉菌噬菌体φC31整合酶是一种位点特异性重组酶(Site-specific recombinase,SSR),可介导链霉菌噬菌体attP位点(Phage attachment site)和链霉菌基因组attB位点(Bacterial attachment site)间的单向重组.为探讨它能否应用于卵母细胞特定基因的重组,文章采用卵巢针刺取卵法采集生发泡(GV)期小鼠卵母细胞,将卵透明带糖蛋白3(ZP3)启动子驱动φC31整合酶表达载体pZP3-INT和检测φC31整合酶位点特异性重组功能的重组质粒载体pBCPB+,通过显微注射导入到小鼠卵母细胞中.培养48 h后,RT-PCR检测φC31整合酶mRNA表达以及PCR检测pBCPB+载体发生重组的情况.结果表明:载体pzP3-INT在卵母细胞中表达φC31整合酶mRNA;并且pBCPB+载体发生了位点特异性重组,提示φC31整合酶在卵母细胞中可以介导位点特异性重组反应.     

6—DMAP和胚胎干细胞代数对异种重构卵体外发育的影响（简报）

The development of reconstructed oocytes and the survival rate of cloned animal were affected by many factors during nuclear transfer. The genetic constitution and the genetic state of donor nucleus were proposed to be primary factors, which affected the survival rate of cloned animal. In addition, the survival rate of cloned animal might be influenced by nuclear transfer technique itself and passages of donor cells as well as the activation methods of oocytes. We reconstructed oocytes with outbreeding Kunming albino mouse ES cells and enucleated rabbit oocytes, and analyzed the effects of the passages of ES cells and 6-DMAP on the development of interspecific reconstructed oocytes. The interspecific reconstructed ES-rabbit oocytes were activated either by combined two set electric pulses and 6-DMAP or by two set electric pulses alone. The rate of cleavage was significantly higher for the group (86.2%) treated with 6-DMAP than the group (64.2%, P < 0.05) treated with electric pulses only, and the rate of blastocysts was 17.0% and 13.4% respectively, which were not significantly different between two groups. When ES cells that had been passed for 24 and 14 generations were used as donors, the cleavage rates of the reconstructed oocytes were 88.5% and 82.1%, respectively (P > 0.05), and the rates of blastolation were 16.7% and 15.4%, respectively (P > 0.05). The results show that 6-DMAP increases the cleavage rate of reconstructed oocytes derived from ES cells, and affects slightly the developmental rate of blastocysts. There are no differences when high passage and low passage ES cells are used as nuclear donors.     

新疆石河子棉蚜越冬卵的发育规律

棉蚜雌性蚜交配个体平均产卵量为 6 3± 1 1粒 ;未交配个体也产卵 ,卵亦变色 ,但卵量极少。越冬卵经 5 %NaOH浸泡 2 4h后卵壳透明 ,镜下观察可见受精卵胚胎发育到体躯分节期开始越冬。冬后胚胎发育仅处在颗粒团状的饱满卵应为无效卵 ,不会孵化 ;颜色发亮的卵处理后胚胎外貌清晰可见 ,此种卵当天即可破壳。棉蚜卵为滞育卵 ,春季降水对孵化有促进作用 ;室外棉蚜卵的饱满率和饱满卵的孵化率较低。该地区秋冬气候特点可能是石河子地区棉蚜卵低温条件下安全越冬的重要因素

重组人卵透明带ZP3蛋白在毕赤酵母中的表达

利用P.pastoris表达人卵透明带ZP3蛋白。设计特定引物从全长hZP3 cDNA上扩增含跨膜区序列的人卵透明带ZP3基因片段,并在N末端接上串联组氨酸编码序列的重组基因序列;扩增片段插入表达载体pPIC9K中;线性化后的重组质粒转入P.pastoris中,用高浓度G418筛选高拷贝菌株,然后甲醇诱导目的蛋白表达。用SDS-PAGE和Western blot分析表达产物。结果发现P.pastoris表达的人ZP3蛋白可以分泌到培养液中,并且可溶性好。纯化前后的重组人ZP3蛋白均能与兔抗猪ZP3蛋白抗体发生交叉反应,证实表达的目的蛋白具有反应原性。

精子介导的转基因技术

精子介导的转基因技术是近十几年发展起来的一种新技术.从各个种的实验证明,精子有瞬间吸收外源DNA的能力.这一过程由一系列因子起重要调节作用.一种特异的DNA结合蛋白介导了外源DNA与精子的结合,同时精浆中存在一种因子起抑制两者结合的拮抗作用.CD4分子与外源基因的内化有关.内化的DNA可能与精子核支架结构(nuclear scaffold)结合,并整合或重排.但仍需要大量实验数据进一步证明是否产生真正可遗传的转基因后代,及如何提高转基因效率,以使这一方法得到普遍的推广及应用.
