琼脂糖电内渗对电泳的影响

用电内渗不同(0、0.03、0.08、0.20mr)的琼脂糖制成凝胶或电极缓冲液凝胶条,观察对电泳行为的影响.结果表明等电聚焦电泳必须使用无电内渗琼脂糖.不同电内渗的琼脂糖制成的电极缓冲液凝胶条对SDS电泳无显著影响,但对常规聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳有不同程度的影响,电内渗越高,越不利于电泳的进行.     

赤霉素与脱落酸对番茄种子萌发中细胞周期的调控

利用细胞流检仪检测番茄（Ｌｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｎ ｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍ Ｍｉｌｌ．） ＧＡ－缺陷型、ＡＢＡ－缺陷型和相应的正常品种（野生型）成熟种子胚根尖细胞倍性水平时发现：ＧＡ－缺陷型和野生型种子绝大多数细胞ＤＮＡ 水平为２Ｃ,而ＡＢＡ－缺陷型种子则含有较多的４Ｃ细胞。在标准发芽条件下,ＡＢＡ－缺陷型和野生型种子浸种１ ｄ 后胚根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 开始复制,随后胚根突破种皮而发芽。然而ＧＡ－缺陷型种子除非加入外源ＧＡ,否则既不发生细胞ＤＮＡ 复制,也不发芽。这说明内源ＧＡ 是启动番茄种子胚根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 复制的关键因素,同时也说明番茄根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 复制是种子发芽的必要条件。实验证明：ＡＢＡ 不抑制细胞ＤＮＡ 合成,但阻止Ｇ２ 细胞进入到Ｍ 期。外源ＡＢＡ处理野生型种子与渗控处理结果相似,可以大幅度提高胚根尖４Ｃ／２Ｃ细胞的比例,但抑制种子的最终发芽     

编码天麻抗真菌蛋白cDNA的分子克隆

用重组ＤＮＡ 技术研究了编码天麻抗真菌蛋白（ＧＡＦＰ）的基因,从天麻（Ｇａｓｔｒｏｄｉａ ｅｌａｔａＢｌ．）块茎中提取Ｐｏｌｙ（Ａ） ｍ ＲＮＡ 后合成ｃＤＮＡ,构建成表达型ｃＤＮＡ 文库,用纯化的蛋白质探针通过免疫筛选找出对应的ｃＤＮＡ 克隆。在进一步证明所选用的ｃＤＮＡ 克隆含有重组的λ－ｐｈａｇｅ ＤＮＡ 后,提取和纯化含有插入片段重组子的ＤＮＡ,用Ｅｃｏ ＲＩ酶切分析可见插入片段。已分离出编码天麻抗真菌蛋白的基因     

番茄种子发芽及渗控处理过程中的水分关系

干燥番茄（Ｌｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｎ ｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍ Ｍｉｌｌ． ｃｖ． Ｍｏｎｅｙｍ ａｋｅｒ）种子浸种吸水有明显的３ 个阶段,尽管种子不同部分吸水的速度不一样,但整粒种子需１０～１２ ｈ 才能基本完成第一阶段的吸水。胚乳对种胚伸长和生长的机械压力明显阻碍种胚的吸水,即使在第二阶段整个种子水势与浸种溶液基本达到水分平衡时,种胚的水势仍然低于整个种子水势０．６～０．９ ＭＰａ。发芽过程中ＧＡ 和ＡＢＡ不直接影响番茄种子吸水。番茄种胚水势与含水量的关系呈幂指数的正相关。无论在浸种还是渗控处理过程中,番茄种胚压力势的总变化趋势是下降的     

New taxol assay method using tubulin-assembly stimulation

Summary A novel taxol determination method which involves the tubulin-assembly stimulation is described. The tubulin-assembly was monitored by turbidity change at 350nm. In a limited range of taxol concentration (0 to 24 M), taxol stimulated tubulin-assembly linearly. And this linear relation was observed from 20min to 30min after the reaction started. Bioactive derivatives of taxol, such as cephalomanin and 7-epi-10-deacetyltaxol also stimulated the tubulin-assembly. However, baccatin III, which was known as less active taxol derivative did not stimulate tubulin assembly. This result showed that the stimulation of tubulin assembly has a relationship with the antimiotic activity. This assay method have several advantages. 1) Time required for the measurement is relatively short. 2) Multiple samples can be measured simultaneously. 3) It can remove interference of less active taxane compounds more selectively than immuno-assay. Consequently, this method can be used to determine taxol concentration in biological samples. Especially, this method can be used for large scale selection of cell line and primary screening of new antimiotic compounds.

Stimulation of bone formation by prostaglandin E2

We examined the effect of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), in the presence or absence of cortisol, on bone formation in 21-day fetal rat calvaria maintained in organ culture for 24 to 96 h. [³H]Thymidine and [³H] proline incorporation were used to assess DNA and collagen synthesis, respectively. Changes in dry weight and DNA content were assessed after 96 h.PGE₂ (10⁻⁷ M) stimulated both DNA and collagen synthesis in calvaria. The effect on DNA synthesis was early (24 h), transient and limited to the periosteum. Collagen synthesis was stimulated at a later time (96 h), predominantly in the central bone. Cortisol (10⁻⁷ M) inhibited DNA and collagen synthesis. The addition of PGE₂ reversed the inhibitory effects of cortisol on DNA synthesis and content and increased collage synthesis in central bone to levels above control untreated cultures.We conclude that PGE₂ has stimulatory effects on bone formation and can reverse the inhibitory effects of cortisol. Hence the effects of cortisol may be mediated in part by their ability to reduce the endogenous production of prostaglandins.     

Myelin development in infant brain

Myelin was isolated from subcortical areas of ten human brains, with ages ranging from 24 days to 350 days-of-age; samples were subsequently analyzed for lipid composition. Eight infants were victims of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and two infants were accident cases. Gray and white matter samples from each brain were also dissected and analyzed. Galactolipids were only 12% of the total lipids in white matter from brains of infants that were 24 days-of-age, a time when myelination was just starting in the subcortical areas. At 175 and 350 days of age, myelination was well underway and galactolipids measured 22% of the total lipids. Total phospholipids decreased (65% to 54%) in white matter during development, with the decrease mostly in phosphatidylcholine (23% to 15%). Even though there was little white matter present at early ages, myelin could be isolated. Surprisingly, the lipid composition of myelin, from the 24-day-infant brain was similar to that from adult brain. Galactolipids were 22% of the total lipids, cholesterol, 23%, and phospholipids, 52%. These results suggest that only subtle remodeling of myelin occurs in humans once myelination commences. All four major gangliosides were present in myelin during this first year of development. Interestingly, the yield of myelin from the 350-day-old infant subcortical white matter was similar to that from an adult. Thus major tracts in this area may have acquired most of the myelin by one year-after-birth. Since the control samples blend quite well into the developmental pattern obtained, it is believed there are no abnormalities in myelin lipids from SIDS infants.     

The passive transfer of protective immunity against Angiostrongylus cantonensis with immune lymph node cells from different lymphoid tissues in rats

-Yong W. K. and Dobson C. 1982. The passive transfer of proctective immunity against Angiostrongylus cantonensis with immune lymph node cells from different lymphoid tissues in rats. International Journal for Parasitology12: 423–425. Lymph node cells from the posterior cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes of immune rats passively protected syngeneic recipient rats against Angiostrongylus cantonensis better than cells from the spleen, thymic and inguinal lymph nodes either as reduced worms burdens and/or stunted growth. No antibody was detected in the sera of recipient rats after transfer of the cells and before infection which suggested that the protection was cell- rather than antibody-mediated.
