动物的的变态

变态是动物学中一个较重要的专用名词,有关内容在中学课本也多处涉及到。现择要介绍一点动物变态的知识,供动物学教学参考。何谓动物的变态动物由于外在和内在的原因,个体形态发生变化,这叫变态。但动物学所讲的变态,是狭义地从发生学角度理解,即胚胎不直接转变为成体,而是在后期发育过程中,先形成形态、生理、生态方面特殊的幼体,行独立生活和生长,以后在某阶段发生急剧变化,转变为成体。青

远古的人们是怎样认识自己的起源的

人是从那里来的? 回答这个问题,你也许会说这有什么困难——人是从古猿变来的;甚至你还会进一步说,在这个从猿到人的转变过程中,劳动起着决定性的作用。然而这个现在看来比较明了的道理,恰是经历了多么漫长的认识过程才达到的呵!现在让我们首先来谈谈,远古的人们是怎样认识自己的起源的。最初的原始人可能还想不到自己的起源在人类诞生的最早时期,“最初的、从动物界分离出来的人,在一切本质方面是和动物本身一样不自由的”(恩格斯:《反杜林论》),这些最初的原始人为艰苦

人绒毛膜促性腺激素β亚基和绵羊垂体促性腺激素共有α亚基组成的单链多...

hCG beta-oLH alpha chimeric cDNA was constructed by using overlapping PCR to contact the codons of C-terminal end of hCG beta with the codons of N-terminal end of oLH alpha, then it was subcloned into nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) expression vector pVL1393 to construct expression vector pVL1393-hCG beta-oLH alpha. The insect cells (Sf9) were cotransfected by the expression vector pVL1393-hCG beta-oLH alpha and BaculoGold AcNPV linearized genomic DNA, and recombinant viruses AcNPV-hCG beta-oLH alpha were screened out by plaque assay. Further the insect cells were infected by the recombinant viruses, the recombinant hCG beta-oLH alpha was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography column coupling anti-hCG beta monoclonal antibody from the conditioned media of infected cells. The results of SDS-PAGE silver staining and western blotting showed that hCG beta-oLH alpha single peptide chain had apparent molecular weights of 40.5 kD and 38.0 kD under non-reducing and reducing conditions respectively, indicating the occurrence of disulfide bonds and significant tertiary structure in the single peptide chain. From the results of competitive inhibition of 125I-hCG beta binding we can conclude that the anti-hCG beta antibody-binding activity of hCG beta-oLH alpha chimera is lower than that of native hCG, but higher than that of native hCG beta. Therefore, we assume that the hCG beta-oLH alpha chimera should have potential application as a target antigen of anti-hCG fertility regulatory vaccine.

鼠白细胞介素12（mIL—12）在昆虫细胞中的表达

Since human IL-12 is species-specific in its functions and elicits little biological responses from mouse lymphocytes, it is necessary to express recombinant murine IL-12 for the usage in studying the effects of this cytokine in various rodent models. Thereby, we can investigate the role of IL-12 in immune response in vivo and evaluate its potential clinical utility. Thus, we firstly constructed two expression vectors, pVL1393-mp40 and pVL1393-mp35. They were used to co-transfect the insect cells(Sf9) separately with linearized polyhedrosis virus genomic DNA. Two kinds of recombinant viruses AcNPV-mp40 and AcNPV-mp35 were visually screened out, and mp40 and mp35 were co-expressed in the insect cells co-infected by AcNPV-mp40 and AcNPV-mp35. The results of real-time Biomolecular Interaction Analysis (BIA) and Northern blot demonstrated that the recombinant mIL-12 was expressed successfully in the insect cells. The molecular weights of recombinant mp40 and mp35 were 40 KDa and 22 KDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, respectively. The apparent molecular weight of recombinant mIL-12 is 80 KDa under non-reducing conditions of Western blot. Biological activity of the recombinant product was detected in conditional medium using antibody-capture bioassay. The expression level of recombinant mIL-12 was about 10-15 micrograms/10(6) cells, as compared with the calibration curve of mIL-12.

利用BmNPV-家蚕表达系统包装重组腺相关病毒2型（rAAV2）研究

腺相关病毒（adeno-associated virus,AAV）是基因治疗中最常用的病毒载体之一,目前用于基因治疗的AAV多利用苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒表达系统（AcMNPV-sf9）包装,但较高的包装成本限制了AAV在基因治疗中的广泛应用。家蚕杆状病毒表达系统与AcMNPV-sf9系统相比,具有包装量更高、成本更低的优势,因此更适用于包装重组腺相关病毒（recombinant adeno-associated virus,rAAV）。首先,将AAV2功能基因cap和rep进行序列优化后合成,克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pVL1393上,将增强型绿色荧光蛋白（enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP）基因和荧光素酶（luciferase,Luc）基因分别作为报告基因克隆到含有巨噬细胞病毒IE（cytomegalovirus-IE,CMV-IE）启动子的病毒转移载体pVL1393-ITRs-MCS上。随后,将构建好的转移载体分别与缺陷型家蚕杆状病毒reBmBac共转染BmN细胞系,获得分别重组有cap、rep和报告基因的家蚕杆状病毒（Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus,BmNPV）。再将纯化的重组病毒（reBm-Cap2、reBm-Rep2）与reBm-EGFP、reBm-Luc分别混合后感染家蚕,收获其表达产物,纯化得到含有目的基因的rAAV病毒。利用rAAV病毒感染哺乳动物细胞后,通过检测EGFP、Luc的表达状态来验证rAAV包装成功与否。结果显示,利用家蚕杆状病毒系统成功包装了rAAV2,并且在哺乳动物细胞中实现了报告基因的表达。

Expression of the influenza virus haemagglutinin in insect cells by a baculovirus vector.

The insect baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) has played a major role in studies on the molecular biology of insect DNA viruses. Recently, this system has been effectively adapted as a highly efficient vector in insect cells for the expression of several mammalian genes. A cDNA sequence of the influenza (fowl plague) virus haemagglutinin gene has been inserted into the BamHI site of the pAc373 polyhedrin vector. Spodoptera frugiperda cells were co-transfected with this construct, pAc-HA651, and authentic AcNPV DNA. Recombinant virus was selected by adsorption of transfected cells to erythrocytes followed by serial plaque passages on S. frugiperda cells. We have determined the site of insertion of the haemagglutinin gene into the AcNPV genome by restriction enzyme cleavage and Southern blot hybridization analyses using haemagglutinin cDNA as a probe. The influenza haemagglutinin gene is located in the polyhedrin gene of AcNPV DNA. Immunofluorescent labelling, immunoprecipitation and immunoblot analyses with specific antisera revealed that S. frugiperda cells produce immune reactive haemagglutinin after infection with the recombinant virus. The haemagglutinin is expressed at the cell surface and has haemolytic capacity that has been activated by post-translational proteolytic cleavage. When chickens were immunized with S. frugiperda cells expressing haemagglutinin, they developed haemagglutinin-inhibiting and neutralizing antibodies and were protected from infection with fowl plague virus. These observations demonstrate that the haemagglutinin is processed in insect cells in a similar fashion as in fowl plaque virus-infected vertebrate cells and that it has full biological activity.     

Expression of lacZ reporter gene under the control of the polyhedrin promoter of Spodoptera litura nuclear polyhedrosis virus

Promoter function of the putative polyhedrin-encoding gene (polh) of Spodoptera litura nuclear polyhedrosis virus (S1MNPV) was determined by transferring it to the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) through the AcNPV polh based vector, pVL1393. Three transfer vectors pCBT2, pCBT3 and pCBT4 were constructed by substituting the promoter and the neighbouring sequences of AcNPV in pVL1393 by that of SINPV. The Escherichia coli lacZ gene was placed downstream from the S1NPV polh promoter in the hybrid transfer vector (pCBT) constructs. Co-transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells (Sf9) with each of the pCBTlacZ vector and wild-type AcNPV DNAs led to synthesis of β-galactosidase (βGal). The plaque-purified recombinant viruses (S1AcNPV.lacZ) expressing lacZ under the polh promoter of S1NPV are stable. The highest βGal activity was obtained with S1AcNPV4.lacZ. Production of βGal with recombinant virus, S1AcNPV3.lacZ in which S1NPV polh promoter is in the reverse orientation in the AcNPV genome, is 83% of that produced by S1AcNPV4.lacZ. These results indicate that the S1NPV polh promoter is active in the genetic environment of AcNPV; the polh of S1NPV is phylogenetically related to AcNPV like other baculoviruses.
