双裂解法提取血清HBV DNA技术的建立

为进行ＰＣＲ实验建立了一种两步裂解血清ＨＢＶ提取其ＤＮＡ的方法。该法首先用ＳＤＳ及蛋白酶消化裂解病毒,随后再进行碱裂解,操作较酚提取法大为简化,而ＰＣＲ实验进行的两法的灵敏性比较,说明双裂解法至少不低于酚法。     

Nonlethal sec71-1 and sec72-1 mutations eliminate proteins associated with the Sec63p-BiP complex from S. cerevisiae.

The sec71-1 and sec72-1 mutations were identified by a genetic assay that monitored membrane protein integration into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutations inhibited integration of various chimeric membrane proteins and translocation of a subset of water soluble proteins. In this paper we show that SEC71 encodes the 31.5-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein (p31.5) and SEC72 encodes the 23-kDa protein (p23) of the Sec63p-BiP complex. SEC71 is therefore identical to SEC66 (HSS1), which was previously shown to encode p31.5. DNA sequence analyses reveal that sec71-1 cells contain a nonsense mutation that removes approximately two-thirds of the cytoplasmic C-terminal domain of p31.5. The sec72-1 mutation shifts the reading frame of the gene encoding p23. Unexpectedly, the sec71-1 mutant lacks p31.5 and p23. Neither mutation is lethal, although sec71-1 cells exhibit a growth defect at 37 degrees C. These results show that p31.5 and p23 are important for the trafficking of a subset of proteins to the ER membrane.     

钉螺神经系统的显微解剖

作者于1988至1990年,对采自南京的133号日本血吸虫的中间宿主钉螺的神经系统进行了显微解剖研究。其神经系统由神经中枢和外周神经组成。前者由8对和两个不成对的神经节组成,神经节之间存在着3种联合和7种连索;后者主要由47对和18条不对称的神经组成;嗅检器位于鳃的基部。     

论晚二叠世的“克氏蛤”

系统评述目前世界上出现的晚二叠世克氏蛤类标本,并描述采自贵州,云南藏东的有关化石１属３种。其中１新属１新种,右壳足丝凹口特征在克氏蛤类研究中具有重要意义。晚二叠世的Ｃｌａｒａｉｏｉｄｅｓ ｇｅｎ．ｎｏｖ．以足丝凹口内端明显向腹方或后腹方扩展膨大成足丝凹湾而不同于早三叠世的Ｃｌａｒａｉａ．后者似由前者演化而来,它们在二叠－三叠系界线附近发生替代,可能与古生代末的绝灭事件相关。     

安徽宿县夹沟寒武-奥陶系界线附近生物群演变及地球化学特征

对宿县夹沟地区跨寒武系与奥陶系的三山子组的碳、氧同位素和微量元素地球化学的研究表明,寒武－奥陶系界线附近有δ＾１３Ｃ和δ＾１８Ｏ的负异常,亲铁元素、亲铜元素的正异常。这些异常与生物群面貌的变化在时间上是同步的。据此认为研究区在寒武纪末可能存在灾变事件。同时,考虑到寒武纪末和奥陶纪初生物群面貌的重大差异,综合国内,外有关研究,认为寒武纪末期可能存在全球性的重大地质事件。     

激光诱变小麦后代材料籽粒贮藏蛋白编码基因变异的研究

本研究采用SDS—PAGE分析了冀麦七号、冀麦18和冀早15三个品种激光后代籽粒贮藏蛋白的变异情况。结果表明,高分子量麦谷蛋白和醇溶蛋白亚基变异较小,其控制位点为Glu—1和Gl—3或Gli—1;而低分子量部分变异较大,其控制位点多在Glu—3、Gli—2和Gli—3。这些变异具有一定的随机性。有关激光诱变对小麦面粉品质的影响有待进一步研究。

UreB immunodominant epitope-specific CD8+ T-cell responses were beneficial in reducing gastric symptoms in Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals

Background and aims

Although Helicobacter pylori is recognized as an extracellular infection bacterium, it can lead to an increase in the number of CD8⁺ T cells after infection. At present, the characteristics of H. pylori antigen-specific CD8⁺ T cells and the epitope response have not been elucidated. This study was focused on putative protective antigen UreB to detect specific CD8⁺ T-cell responses in vitro and screen for predominant response epitopes.

Methods

The PBMCs collected from H. pylori-infected individuals were stimulated by UreB peptide pools in vitro to identify the immunodominant CD8⁺ T-cell epitopes. Furthermore, their HLA restriction characteristics were detected accordingly by NGS. Finally, the relationship between immunodominant responses and appearance of gastric symptoms after H. pylori infection was conducted.

Results

UreB-specific CD8⁺ T-cell responses were detected in H. pylori-infected individuals. Three of UreB dominant epitopes (A-2 (UreB_443–451: GVKPNMIIK), B-4 (UreB_420–428: SEYVGSVEV), and C-1 (UreB_5–13: SRKEYVSMY)) were firstly identified and mainly presented by HLA-A*1101, HLA-B*4001 and HLA-C*0702 alleles, respectively. C-1 responses were mostly occurred in H. pylori-infected subjects without gastric symptoms and may alleviate the degree of gastric inflammation.

Conclusions

The UreB dominant epitope-specific CD8⁺ T-cell response was closely related to the gastric symptoms after H. pylori infection, and the C-1 (UreB_5-13) dominant peptides may be protective epitopes.
