Summary The influence of antibody absorption procedures and proteolytic pre-treatment of formaldehyde-fixed placental tissue on the localization of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A by immunoperoxidase technique was examined.Apparently monospecific IgG fraction of the anti-plasma protein applied directly on fixed tissue resulted in staining of connective tissue and a thin apical rim of the syncytiotrophoblast. Further absorption of the antibody with foetal connective tissue abolished this staining reaction. Pre-treatment of the fixed placental tissue with trypsin prior to application of the antibody, which had been absorbed with connective tissue, resulted in staining within the cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast exclusively. Identical staining was seen when this IgG preparation was used directly on frozen placental tissue.The results point to the importance of the specificity of the antibody preparations and of proteolytic unmasking of epitopes when fixed tissues are used for localization studies of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A by immunoperoxidase technique. 相似文献

Fetal antigen 1 (FA1) is a glycoprotein containing six epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats. It is closely similar to
the protein translated from the human delta-like (dlk) cDNA and probably constitutes a proteolytically processed form of dlk.
dlk is homologous to theDrosophila homeotic proteinsdelta andnotch and to the murine preadipocyte differentiation factor Pref-1. These proteins participate in determining cell fate choices
during differentiation. We now report that FA1 immunoreactivity is present in a number of neuroectodermally derived tumours
as well as in pancreatic endocrine tumours. A negative correlation between FA1 and glucagon immunoreactants in these tumours
prompted a reexamination of FA1 immunoreactants during fetal pancreatic development. At the earliest stages of development,
FA1 was expressed by most of the non-endocrine parenchymal cells and, with ensuing development, gradually disappeared from
these cells and became restricted to insulin-producing beta cells. Throughout development FA1 was not detected in endocrine
glucagon, somatostatin or pancreatic polypeptide cells. Moreover, developing insulin cells that coexpressed glucagon were
negative for FA1. Thus, there was a negative correlation between FA1 and glucagon both in tumours and during development.
These results, together with FA1/dlk's similarity with homeotic proteins, point to a role of FA1 in islet cell differentiation. 相似文献

Genetic resources of forest trees are considered as a key factor for the persistence of forest ecosystems because the ability of tree species to survive under changing climate depends strongly on their intraspecific variation in climate response. Therefore, utilizing available genetic variation in climate response and planting alternative provenances suitable for future climatic conditions is considered as an important adaptation measure for forestry. On the other hand, the distribution of adaptive genetic diversity of many tree species is still unknown and the predicted shift of ecological zones and species’ distribution may threaten forest genetic resources that are important for adaptation. Here, we use Norway spruce in Austria as a case study to demonstrate the genetic variation in climate response and to analyse the existing network of genetic conservation units for its effectiveness to safeguard the hotspots of adaptive and neutral genetic diversity of this species. An analysis of the climate response of 480 provenances, clustered into 9 groups of climatically similar provenances, revealed high variation among provenance groups. The most productive and promising provenance clusters for future climates originate from three regions that today depict the warmest and driest areas of the natural spruce distribution in Austria. Gap analysis of the Austrian genetic conservation units in the EUFGIS Portal suggests adequate coverage of the genetic hotspots in southern parts of Austria, but not in eastern and northern Austria. Therefore conservation measures and sustainable utilization of the valuable genetic resources in these regions need to be expanded to cover their high adaptive genetic variation and local adaptation to a warmer climate. The study shows that current conservation efforts need to be evaluated for their effectiveness to protect genetic resources that are important for the survival of trees in a future climate. 相似文献

New commercially available Human Papillomavirus (HPV) assays need to be evaluated in a variety of cervical screening settings. Cobas HPV Test (cobas) is a real-time PCR-based assay allowing for separate detection of HPV genotypes 16 and 18 and a bulk of 12 other high-risk genotypes. The aim of the present study, Horizon, was to assess the prevalence of high-risk HPV infections in an area with a high background risk of cervical cancer, where women aged 23–65 years are targeted for cervical screening. We collected 6,258 consecutive cervical samples from the largest cervical screening laboratory in Denmark serving the whole of Copenhagen. All samples were stored in SurePath media. In total, 5,072 samples were tested with cobas, Hybrid Capture 2 High Risk HPV DNA test (HC2) and liquid-based cytology. Of these, 27% tested positive on cobas. This proportion decreased by age, being 43% in women aged 23–29 years and 10% in women aged 60–65 years. HC2 assay was positive in 20% of samples, and cytology was abnormal (≥ atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) for 7% samples. When only samples without recent abnormalities were taken into account, 24% tested positive on cobas, 19% on HC2, and 5% had abnormal cytology. The proportion of positive cobas samples was higher than in the ATHENA trial. The age-standardized cobas positivity vs. cytology abnormality was 3.9 in our study and 1.7 in ATHENA. If in Copenhagen the presently used cytology would be replaced by cobas in women above age 30 years, an extra 11% of women would based on historical data be expected to have a positive cobas test without an underlying cervical intraepithelial lesion grade 3 or worse. Countries with a high prevalence of HPV infections should therefore proceed to primary HPV-based cervical screening with caution. 相似文献

The Drosophila gene, pixie, is an essential gene required for normal growth and translation. Pixie is the fly ortholog of human RLI, which was first identified as an RNase L inhibitor, and yeast Rli1p, which has recently been shown to play a role in translation initiation and ribosome biogenesis. These proteins are all soluble ATP-binding cassette proteins with two N-terminal iron-sulfur clusters. Here we demonstrate that Pixie can be isolated from cells in complex with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 and ribosomal proteins of the small subunit. In addition, our analysis of polysome profiles reveals that double-stranded RNA interference-mediated depletion of Pixie results in an increase in empty 80 S ribosomes and a corresponding decrease in polysomes. Thus Pixie is required for normal levels of translation initiation. We also find that Pixie associates with the 40 S subunit on sucrose density gradients in an ATP-dependent manner. Our observations are consistent with Pixie playing a catalytic role in the assembly of complexes required for translation initiation. Thus, the function of this soluble ATP-binding cassette domain protein family in translation initiation has been conserved from yeast through to higher eukaryotes. 相似文献

The stress hormone corticosterone in a marine top predator reflects short‐term changes in food availability 下载免费PDF全文

In many seabird studies, single annual proxies of prey abundance have been used to explain variability in breeding performance, but much more important is probably the timing of prey availability relative to the breeding season when energy demand is at a maximum. Until now, intraseasonal variation in prey availability has been difficult to quantify in seabirds. Using a state‐of‐the‐art ocean drift model of larval cod Gadus morhua, an important constituent of the diet of common guillemots Uria aalge in the southwestern Barents Sea, we were able to show clear, short‐term correlations between food availability and measurements of the stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) in parental guillemots over a 3‐year period (2009–2011). The model allowed the extraction of abundance and size of cod larvae with very high spatial (4 km) and temporal resolutions (1 day) and showed that cod larvae from adjacent northern spawning grounds in Norway were always available near the guillemot breeding colony while those from more distant southerly spawning grounds were less frequent, but larger. The latter arrived in waves whose magnitude and timing, and thus overlap with the guillemot breeding season, varied between years. CORT levels in adult guillemots were lower in birds caught after a week with high frequencies of southern cod larvae. This pattern was restricted to the two years (2009 and 2010) in which southern larvae arrived before the end of the guillemot breeding season. Any such pattern was masked in 2011 by already exceptionally high numbers of cod larvae in the region throughout chick‐rearing period. The findings suggest that CORT levels in breeding birds increase when the arrival of southern sizable larvae does not match the period of peak energy requirements during breeding. 相似文献
