Population genetics and phylogenetics of DNA sequence variation at multiple loci within the Drosophila melanogaster species complex 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Two regions of the genome, a 1-kbp portion of the zeste locus and a 1.1-
kbp portion of the yolk protein 2 locus, were sequenced in six individuals
from each of four species: Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, D.
mauritiana, and D. sechellia. The species and strains were the same as
those of a previous study of a 1.9-kbp region of the period locus. No
evidence was found for recent balancing or directional selection or for the
accumulation of selected differences between species. Yolk protein 2 has a
high level of amino acid replacement variation and a low level of
synonymous variation, while zeste has the opposite pattern. This contrast
is consistent with information on gene function and patterns of codon bias.
Polymorphism levels are consistent with a ranking of effective population
sizes, from low to high, in the following order: D. sechellia, D.
melanogaster, D.mauritiana, and D. simulans. The apparent species
relationships are very similar to those suggested by the period locus
study. In particular, D. simulans appears to be a large population that is
still segregating variation that arose before the separation of D.
mauritiana and D. sechellia. It is estimated that the separation of
ancestral D. melanogaster from the other species occurred 2.5-3.4 Mya. The
separations of D. sechellia and D. mauritiana from ancestral D. simulans
appear to have occurred 0.58- 0.86 Mya, with D. mauritiana having diverged
from ancestral D. simulans 0.1 Myr more recently than D. sechellia.

Modifications to United States Environmental Protection Agency Methods 1622 and 1623 for Detection of Cryptosporidium Oocysts and Giardia Cysts in Water 下载免费PDF全文
Collaborative and in-house laboratory trials were conducted to evaluate Cryptosporidium oocyst and Giardia cyst recoveries from source and finished-water samples by utilizing the Filta-Max system and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methods 1622 and 1623. Collaborative trials with the Filta-Max system were conducted in accordance with manufacturer protocols for sample collection and processing. The mean oocyst recovery from seeded, filtered tap water was 48.4% ± 11.8%, while the mean cyst recovery was 57.1% ± 10.9%. Recovery percentages from raw source water samples ranged from 19.5 to 54.5% for oocysts and from 46.7 to 70.0% for cysts. When modifications were made in the elution and concentration steps to streamline the Filta-Max procedure, the mean percentages of recovery from filtered tap water were 40.2% ± 16.3% for oocysts and 49.4% ± 12.3% for cysts by the modified procedures, while matrix spike oocyst recovery percentages ranged from 2.1 to 36.5% and cyst recovery percentages ranged from 22.7 to 68.3%. Blinded matrix spike samples were analyzed quarterly as part of voluntary participation in the U.S. EPA protozoan performance evaluation program. A total of 15 blind samples were analyzed by using the Filta-Max system. The mean oocyst recovery percentages was 50.2% ± 13.8%, while the mean cyst recovery percentages was 41.2% ± 9.9%. As part of the quality assurance objectives of methods 1622 and 1623, reagent water samples were seeded with a predetermined number of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. Mean recovery percentages of 45.4% ± 11.1% and 61.3% ± 3.8% were obtained for Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts, respectively. These studies demonstrated that the Filta-Max system meets the acceptance criteria described in U.S. EPA methods 1622 and 1623. 相似文献

We performed a hospital-based, unmatched case-control study to investigate the association between progressive stages of cervical neoplasia and digital analysis of cell proliferation by silver stained nucleolus organizer region associated proteins (AgNORs). We measured cell proliferation levels in the cervical epithelial cells of 10 women with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LG-SIL), eight with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL), 11 with cervical cancer (CC) and eight with no cervical lesions (controls) using the AgNORs technique. Cell proliferation was measured by digital image analysis (DIA). DIA revealed increased total areas of AgNORs in HG-SIL and CC compared to LG-SIL and control patients. AgNORs with a kidney or cluster shape exhibited greater areas than those with a spherical or long shape. We propose a cut-off of 118 pixels to differentiate benign (control and LG-SIL) from malignant (HG-SIL and CC) lesions. DIA of AgNORs is a simple and inexpensive method for studying proliferation. The increased total area of AgNORs in malignant lesions provides information regarding cell behavior and may be related to cervical carcinogenesis; however, further validation studies are required to establish its usefulness in cytological analysis. 相似文献

Recovery of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts from source water concentrates using immunomagnetic separation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) procedures for the simultaneous isolation of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts have recently become available. We validated Dynal's GC-Combo IMS kit using source water at three turbidity levels (5000, 500 and 50 nephelometric turbidity units [ntu]) obtained from different geographical locations and spiked with approximately 9--11 (oo)cysts per ml. Mean recoveries of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in deionized water were 62% and 69%, respectively. In turbid water matrices, mean recoveries of Cryptosporidium oocysts were between 55.9% and 83.1% while mean recoveries of cysts were between 61.1% and 89.6%. Marginally higher recoveries of the heat inactivated (oo)cysts were observed (119.4% Cryptosporidium oocysts and 90.9% Giardia cysts) in deionized water when compared with recoveries of viable (oo)cysts (69.7% Cryptosporidium oocysts and 79% Giardia cysts). Age of (oo)cysts on recoveries using the GC-Combo IMS kit demonstrated no effects up to 20 months old. Recovery of Giardia cysts was consistent for isolates aged up to 8 months (81.4%), however, a significant reduction in recoveries was noted at 20 months age. Recoveries of low levels (5 and 10 (oo)cysts) of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in deionized water using IMS ranged from 51.3% to 78% and from 47.6% to 90.0%, respectively. Results of this study indicate that Dynal's GC-Combo IMS kit is an efficient technique to separate Cryptosporidium/Giardia from turbid matrices and yields consistent, reproducible recoveries. The use of fresh (recently voided and purified) (oo)cysts, aged (oo)cysts, viable and heat-inactivated (oo)cysts indicated that these parameters do not influence IMS performance. 相似文献

1-Thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides: synthesis and evaluation as beta-D- galactofuranosidase inhibitors
Marino C; Marino K; Miletti L; Manso Alves MJ; Colli W; de Lederkremer RM 《Glycobiology》1998,8(9):901-904
Beta-D-galactofuranosidase is a good chemotherapeutic target for the design
of inhibitors, since beta-D-galactofuranose is a constituent of important
parasite glycoconjugates but is not present in the host mammals. With this
aim, we have synthesized for the first time alkyl, benzyl and aryl
1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides by condensation of
penta-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-galactofuranose with the corresponding thiols,
in the presence of SnCl4as catalyst. The complete chemical and
spectroscopical characterization of these compounds showed that the
reaction was stereoselective. Debenzoylation with sodium methoxide afforded
the beta-S-galactofuranosides in high yield. The thioglycosides were tested
as inhibitors of the beta-D- galactofuranosidase of Penicillium fellutanum,
using for the first time 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside as
chromogenic substrate. The 4- aminophenyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranoside,
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrophenyl derivative, was the
best inhibitor being then an adequate ligand for the preparation of an
affinity phase aimed at the isolation of beta-d-galactofuranosidases from
different sources. Also the inhibitory activity of d-galactono-1, 4-lactone
was shown.
