杂交瘤细胞在CeIIiGen培养器中大量连续培养

一鼠杂交瘤细胞DA4—4(Atcc,HB57)分泌抗人IgM的单克隆抗体IgGl,该细胞被培养在1．5L celliGen一中空纤维柱连续灌注系统中,ceuiGen细胞培养器显示很低的机械剪切力,提高搅拌速度到150rpm增加了氧的传递,但不对杂交瘤细胞造成损害。在连续培养对,DA4·4细胞密度可达20×10⁶／mI以上,单克隆抗体浓度高达4．75mg／mI,该培养系统每日可收获抗体1．Og左右。     

Leber遗传性视神经病变家系的线粒体基因突变分析

为探讨Leber遗传性视神经病变（Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy,LHON）家系线粒体DNA（mtDNA）常见致病原发突变的频谱,用聚合酶链反应（polymerase chain reaction,PCR）和单链构象多态性（single-stranded conformational polymorphism,SSCP）以及DNA测序的方法,对13个家系22位临床诊断为LHON的患者及其母系亲属21人的线粒体DNA进行检测,同时检测71例正常人作为对照。临床拟诊为LHON的13个家系中,11个家系存在mtDNA位点11778 G→A突变,另2个家系存在14484位点T→C突变。说明中国LHON病人存在线粒体DNA 11778或14484位点突变,其中14484位点突变在国内尚未见报道。 Abstract:The purpose of the study is to investigate the frequency of common pathogenic primary mitochondrial DNA mutations in pedigrees of Leber′s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).Mutations were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing.Twenty-two patients with suspicion of LHON and twenty-one their maternal relatives underwent molecular genetic evaluation.Seventy-one normal individuals underwent molecular genetic evaluation as control at the same time.Members from 13 families with suspicion of LHON,11 families had nucleotide position nt11778 G→A mutations.Another 2 families had nt14484 T→C mutations.It is concluded that the point mutations at nucleotides 11778 and 14484 are primary LHON mutations,but the point mutation of nt14484 is rare in Chinese.     

简易的杂交瘤细胞载体培养

通常杂交瘤细胞是悬浮培养在扁瓶或搅拌瓶中,其培养的细胞浓度和抗体的产量都不高。大量生产单克隆抗体则要依靠各种细胞培养器、中空纤维、微胶囊、固定化细胞和连续灌注等系统,但这些系统设计复杂,技术要求高,价格昂贵,效果不一。最近Wang G等人采用园片状聚脂载体(Fibra-     

呼吸道感染中白假丝酵母菌的致病性与细胞外水解酶关系

将84株呼吸道分离的白假丝酵母菌分为致病组和非致病组,采用卵黄培养基法检测细胞外磷脂酶的活力,用牛血清白蛋白琼脂培养基法检法分泌型天冬氨酸蛋白酶的活力,并用RT-PCR的方法检测这2种酶相关基因PLB1和SAP2的表达情况,分析其组间差别,结果表明致病组菌株的分泌型天冬氨酸蛋白酶的活力要高于非致病组(P=0.034<0.05),细胞外磷脂酶活力二组未见差别,致病组的PLB1和SAP2基因的表达均高于非致病组(P<0.05),PLB1和SAP2的表达存在着明显的正相关(r=0.776,P<0.01),提示分泌型天冬氨酸蛋白酶是呼吸道白假丝酵母菌重要的毒力因子,PLB1和SAP2的表达上调可能影响菌株的毒力,这2个基因的表达量有正相关的关系。
