确定广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖对巨噬细胞RAW264.7的免疫调节作用受体,探索广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖的免疫调节机制。采用MTT法测定不同浓度广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖对巨噬细胞RAW264.7增殖活力的影响,筛选出促进巨噬细胞增殖能力最强的浓度。用筛选出的β-D-葡聚糖浓度作用巨噬细胞RAW264.7;TLR4抗体和TLR2抗体分别作用巨噬细胞RAW264.7 1h,再用含有β-D-葡聚糖的细胞培养液培养。收集细胞培养上清和细胞,检测细胞培养上清中NO、IL-6、TNF-α、IFN-β的生成量;提取细胞内总RNA,采用RT-PCR测定巨噬细胞TLR4 mRNA表达量;提取巨噬细胞总蛋白,采用蛋白免疫印迹western blot测定TLR4的蛋白表达。广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖能够促进巨噬细胞RAW264.7增殖,增加NO、IL-6、TNF-α、IFN-β的生成量,提高TLR4 mRNA表达和蛋白表达,差异极显著（P<0.01）。TLR4抗体作用细胞后,NO、IL-6、TNF-α、IFN-β的生成量明显下降,差异极显著（P<0.01）。TLR2抗体作用细胞后,NO、IL-6、TNF-α、IFN-β的生成量下降,但差异不显著。广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖可以通过细胞表面受体TLR4激活信号转导通路,增强下游细胞因子的释放,从而调节巨噬细胞RAW264.7的免疫功能。TLR2可能不是广叶绣球菌β-D-葡聚糖的免疫受体。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
