杂交水稻及三系在发育过程中的酯酶同工酶比较研究

本文报道了利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,测定杂交水稻及三系亲本共50个组合的萌动胚、芽,不同发育时期的叶片、根、雄蕊等12个组织或器官的酯酶同工酶的结果。根据所测结果,可把杂交水稻的酯酶同工酶酶谱分为5种类型:互补型、偏父型、偏母型、同型和“杂种”酶谱。强优势组合以互补型酶谱居多,弱优势组合都是同型酶谱,“杂种”酶谱仅见于V优64的幼穗分化期叶片和V优63、汕优63的三叶期叶片中。不同器官的互补酶谱都可作为预测杂种比势,鉴定杂交稻种子的纯度和真实性以及选配新杂交组合的一个手段或依据,但以对萌动胚或幼芽的测定更有实践意义。     

新城疫病毒单克隆抗体的特性及应用

建立了8个分泌抗新城疫病毒(NDV)特异性单克隆抗体(McAb)的杂交瘤细胞株,根据它们的免疫生物学特性可以分为三种类型:(1)具有FA和ELISA特性(FN1、FN4、FN29、FN30、FN35、FNl22);(2)具有FA、ELISA和HI特性(FN7);(3)具有ELISA、HI特性和中和能力(FN106),根据FN30和FN106的ELISA试验,可将11个NDV毒株分为二种不同的抗原群,应用FN4-FITC,FN7-FITC和FN29-HRP试剂,对人工感染NDV和野外送检病例检测结果表明,单抗试剂的DFA阳性率(92.3％)高于病毒分离阳性率(87.2％),两种方法的符合率89.7％,这些单抗试剂用于临床诊断敏感性和特异性高,且方法快速、简便。     

循环血中GM-CFC的性能研究

利用造血细胞体外琼脂培养技术,比较了狗的不同来源的GM—CFC增殖、分化性能和辐射敏感性。结果表明,在正常生理条件下循环血中GM—CFC集落产率约为骨髓的1/60;细胞集落开始形成时间较骨髓晚1天,细胞集落随培养时间(前3—5天)增加而增加,其增加速率约为骨髓的20%;辐射敏感性D_0值为0.34Gy,明显低于骨髓中GM—CFC的D_0值(0.82Gy)。造血干细胞动员剂动员后血中GM—CFC数量明显增加,细胞集落增加速率约为骨髓的59%,D_0值为0.72Gy。从而为循环血干细胞移植疗效提供了实验依据。     

A simple purification of calmodulin by reversed phase chromatography with hydrophobic polymer 3520

A new adsorption chromatography procedure for the purification of calmodulin from bovine brain was developed using polymeric adsorbent 3520. Calmodulin was first isolated by DEAE-Cellulose column chromatography and further purified to apparent homogeneity following elution with 50% ethanol from the adsorbent column. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed one band either in the presence of Ca2+ or EGTA. The polymeric adsorbent 3520 is a non-polar polymer lacking exchangeable groups. The selective adsorption of calmodulin is based on hydrophobic interaction within the matrix, and is Ca2+ independent. Neither high salt (0.5 M NaC1) nor EGTA (5 mM) was able to elute the CaM from the adsorption column whereas ethanol (50%) eluted it completely. This method is simple to use and it provides highly purified calmodulin with high yield.     

Stimulation of arachidonic acid metabolism: differences in potencies of recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha and interleukin-1 beta on two cell types

Recombinant human interleukin-l (rIL-1) alpha and beta, which have 26% homology in their amino acid sequence, stimulated arachidonic acid metabolism by squirrel monkey smooth muscle cells and rat liver cells; their relative effectiveness, however, varied with the two cells. Recombinant IL-1 alpha was 3 times more effective than rIL-1 beta at stimulating arachidonic acid metabolism by the primate smooth muscle cells. Recombinant IL-1 alpha was 3 times less effective than rIL-1 beta when measured by their capacity to synergistically stimulate arachidonic acid metabolism of rat liver cells in the presence of palytoxin and anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). The rIL-1 alpha and rIL-1 beta also stimulated the release of radiolabelled arachidonic acid from the smooth muscle cells prelabelled with [3H]arachidonic acid. The two recombinant IL-1s have different heat stabilities, again when measured by their capacity to stimulate arachidonic acid metabolism; IL-1 alpha was more heat stable than IL-1 beta.     

In vitro release of growth hormone-releasing factor from rat hypothalamus: effect of insulin-like growth factor-1

The release of growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF) from rat hypothalamus was investigated in vitro. After 60 min preincubation the released GHRF from sliced rat hypothalamic fragments during 60 min incubation was detected by a highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for rat GHRF. The release of GHRF was Ca2+-dependent and enhanced by high concentration of K+. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) significantly decreased GHRF release to 65% and 84% of the control at concentrations of 10(-8) M and 10(-7) M, respectively. These results suggest that this in vitro system is useful for the investigation of the mechanism of GHRF release from the hypothalamus and that IGF-1 is probably involved in the feedback inhibition of growth hormone secretion by attenuating GHRF release from the hypothalamus besides countering the effect of GHRF on the pituitary.     

水蒸汽蒸馏巴柑檬叶和果皮精油化学成分的研究

巴柑檬是我们第一次从国外引种成功的一种名贵香料植物。用色谱-质谱-计算机联用技术、毛细管气相色谱保留指数法和标准品叠加法分析了水蒸汽蒸馏巴柑檬叶和果皮精油的化学成分。从叶和果皮精油分离出来的220个和200个成分中,分别鉴定出48个和57个成分。鉴定组分的含量分别占叶和果皮精油的99.80％和98.54％。叶精油与果皮精油在化学成分方面的主要区别是叶油中萜烃化合物含量较低,而萜醇类化合物含量较高。     

Primary structure of PDC-109, a major protein constituent of bovine seminal plasma

The two major protein components of bovine seminal plasma, PDC-109 and BSP I, have been purified by gel filtration, partition chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography from an 86% ethanol precipitate of bovine seminal plasma ejaculate. The complete 109-residue amino acid sequence of PDC-109 has been established by automated Edman degradation of the intact peptide as well as its proteolytic digestion and cyanogen bromide cleavage fragments. The 12,774 dalton structure has two structurally similar domains of 38 and 41 amino acids, each containing two disulfide bonds.
