Factor IX: C activity decay was studied in lyophilized concentrates (Bebulin, IMMUNO) stored at room temperature and in reconstituted preparations frozen and stored at -20 degrees C. A very slight, practically identical, decay of Factor IX: C was found in lyophilized concentrates kept at room temperature, in reconstituted lyophilized concentrates frozen and stored at -20 degrees C and lyophilized concentrates kept at +4 degrees C. At the end of the experiment, which was 4-5 months after the expiration date of the product, a 15-30% decay of Factor IX: C could be found in the concentrates with respect to initial levels. 相似文献

Survival of Botrytis cinerea conidia was studied after storage without pretreatments at different temperatures (-80 degrees C, -20 degrees C, 4 degrees C and 21 degrees C). Germination tests performed during 3 years showed that viability at 21 degrees C was completely lost after 1 month. Conidia stored for 30 months at -80 degrees C, -20 degrees C and 4 degrees C were able to germinate, respectively, at 79%, 8% and 0.2%. Changes in adenylate level, energy charge and respiration (O(2) consumption) made on each set of conidia were correlated to the germination rate. The 30-month-old stored conidia showed differences in pathogenicity tests on apples. While the pathogenic aggressiveness of conidia stored at -80 degrees C was almost the same as for fresh conidia, it decreased with increasing temperature of storage. An ultrastructural study made on conidia stored for 30 months at -80 degrees C has shown the emergence of a new wall layer in a retraction zone of the cytoplasm by comparison to fresh conidia. However, the integrity of the cytoplasmic content was maintained. The effects of low temperature storage, maintenance of cell integrity and pathogenicity of conidia of B. cinerea are discussed. 相似文献

A multiple-embedded nucleopolyhedrovirus isolated from Anagrapha falcifera (Kirby) (AfMNPV) has potential to be developed into a microbial bioinsecticide because the host range includes several economic pests. We tested spray-dried AfMNPV formulations after storage for insecticidal activity based on bioassays with neonate Trichoplusia ni (Hübner). Eight experimental lignin-based spray-dried formulations, a glycerin-based formulation, and an unformulated sample were made with virus stock from three commercial production lots. Samples of these formulations were stored at 30 degrees C in individually sealed sample containers for destructive sampling after 1, 3, and 6 mo whereas the remaining product was stored in glass jars under refrigeration for up to 30 mo. Spray drying did not significantly reduce the initial LC50s of AfMNPV in experimental formulations compared with unformulated virus that was not spray dried. Refrigerated storage for 6 mo did not significantly lower virus activity of formulated samples compared with the unformulated AfMNPV stored frozen, while samples stored for 30 mo had higher LC50 values determined by both droplet and leaf feeding assays. When stored at 30 degrees C, most formulations (22 of 24) maintained insecticidal activity for 3 mo, but most (21 of 24) lost significant activity after 6 mo of storage. The glycerin-based formulation also lost activity within 6 mo of storage at 30 degrees C when compared with frozen unformulated virus, but did not lose activity when stored refrigerated for up to 30 mo. These formulations were evaluated after 7 mo at 4 degrees C for residual insecticidal activity when applied to field grown cabbage. Insecticidal activity was determined against T. ni neonates for treated leaf samples collected at 3, 7, 27, and 51 h after application of 2.5 x 10(12) obs/ha. Field tests showed no differences in activity among samples of stored formulations and one freshly made formulation. Spray-dried formulations had significantly higher insecticidal activity (67.5% mortality) compared with the unformulated treatment (30% mortality) sampled 3 h after application. At 3, 7, and 27 h after application, the spray-dried formulations had higher residual activity (67%, 59%, and 42% mortality, respectively), compared with the commercial glycerin-based formulation (61%, 38%, and 23% mortality, respectively). These experiments demonstrated that AfMNPV in lignin-based spray-dried formulations had a shelf-life of up to 3 mo at 30 degrees C and up to 30 mo at 4 degrees C, and with longer residual insecticidal activity in the field compared with unformulated or a glycerin formulation. 相似文献

Echinostoma revolutum eggs recovered from naturally infected wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) were cold stored (4-6 degrees C) for up to 72 weeks. Successful hatching followed incubation for from 6 to 8 days at an optimum temperature of between 25 and 30 degrees C. A partial life cycle from adult worm to metacercarial encystment in Lymnaea tomentosa snails was completed in the laboratory. Snails were infected both by free miracidia and by ingestment of unhatched embryonated eggs. Infection was equally successful in environmental temperature ranges from 10 to 25 degrees C, and at challenge levels of 2, 5 or 10 embryonated eggs per snail. Exposure to 10 eggs was lethal. Ingestion by snails of embryonated eggs with successful infection at 10 degrees C suggests that embryonated eggs may be used to infect wild snails when the environmental water temperature has reached 10 degrees C. 相似文献

1. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose 6-phosphate-NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49) from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was immobilized on CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B with retention of about 3% of enzyme activity. This uncharged preparation was stable for up to 4 months when stored in borate buffer, pH7.6, at 4 degrees C. 2. Stable enzyme preparations with negative or positive overall charge were made by adding valine or ethylenediamine to the CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B 30min after addition of the enzyme. 3. These three immobilized enzyme preparations retained 40-60% of their activity after 15 min at 50 degrees C. The soluble enzyme is inactivated by these conditions. 4. The soluble enzyme lost 45 and 100% of its activity on incubation for 3h at pH6 and 10 respectively. The three immobilized-enzyme preparations were completely stable over this entire pH range. 5. The pH optimum of the positively and negatively charged immobilized-enzyme preparations were about 8 and 9 respectively. The soluble enzyme and the uncharged immobilized enzyme had an optimum pH at about 8.5 6. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase immobilized on CNBr-activated Sephadex G-25 was unstable, as was enzyme attached to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B to which glycine, asparitic acid, valine or ethylenediamine was added at the same time as the enzyme. 相似文献

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) patients have increased 7- and 8-dehydrocholesterol (DHC) concentrations. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring we investigated whether storage time (24 h, 7 and 30 days, and 22 months at room temperature or at 4 degrees C) affected DHC concentrations in whole blood spots (WBSs) from SLOS patients and normal controls. Our results suggest that WBS sterol analysis can be used for SLOS screening and possibly related inborn errors of sterol metabolism with a 100% sensitivity and specificity on specimens stored for up to 30 days, either at room temperature or 4 degrees C. After 22 months of storage at both temperature SLOS samples can be indistinguishable from control samples. Therefore, great caution should be used to exclude SLOS by sterol analysis of WBSs stored for a long time. 相似文献

The aim of the study was the investigation of bacteriocinogenic properties of 102 Yersinia enterocolitica strains. The influence of selected factors on the production of bacteriocins by Y. enterocolitica and properties of jersiniacin 44JPSBKOH were also investigated. Bacteriocinogenic properties of Y. enterocolitica strains were tested by using the delayed cross-streaking method. It was found that the production of bacteriocins by Y. enterocolitica depended on the type of media on which the producer and indicator strains were grown. It turned out that some strains of Y. enterocolitica showed bacteriocinogenic properties at 25 degrees C, 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C irrespective of the presence of manganese ions in medium. In the presence of iron ions these strains showed bacteriocinogenic properties only at 25 degrees C. Y. enterocolitica strains which required Mn2+ or Mn7+ ions for bacteriocins production showed this activity only at 25 degrees C but in presence of Fe3+ ions they had no bacteriocinogenic properties. The partially purified jersiniacin 44JPSBKOH is a protein, its molecular weight was estimated to be 40 kDa. Yersiniacin 44JPSBKOH was active in the pH range of 3 to 9. Its bactericidal activity was rapidly lost when heated to 100 degrees C and treated with proteolytic enzymes. Yersiniacin 44JPSBKOH showed bactericidal activity against other Y. enterocolitica strains and some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from humans. 相似文献

The anorectic compound CCK-9 was coupled to polyethylene glycol 5 kDa, 10 kDa, 20 kDa and 30 kDa, under different reaction conditions. Conjugates were purified by HPLC and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS. A 96% PEGylation yield was obtained in buffer pH 7.5 after 6h reaction at 20 degrees C. The anorectic activity was tested in vivo in rats. A single bolus intra-peritoneal injection of non-modified CCK-9 resulted in a significant initial food intake reduction 30 min after food presentation (87% compared to paired control group). When PEG-CCK-9 conjugates modified with polymers of molecular weight up to 20 kDa were injected, lower but statistically significant initial food intake reductions were obtained (76% for PEG 10 kDa-CCK-9 conjugate compared to control group). The cumulative food intake reduction of non-modified CCK-9 is normalized within 1-2h, whereas the PEG-CCK-9 molecules showed a prolonged anorectic activity lasting for 6h for PEG 5 kDa-CCK-9; 23 h for PEG 10 kDa-CCK-9 and between 8h and 23 h for PEG 20 kDa-CCK-9. For PEG 30 kDa-CCK-9 conjugate, neither an initial nor a cumulative FI reduction was observed. PEG-CCK-9 conjugates show a significantly prolonged anorectic activity in comparison to the non-modified peptide. This effect is most evident for the PEG 10 kDa-CCK-9 conjugate. 相似文献

Yeast invertase was immobilized on polyethyleneimine-coated cotton thread by adsorption followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The thread-bound invertase was used as an easily retrievable system for the hydrolysis of 80% w/v commercial sucrose syrups. The immobilized enzyme was stable for over 90 days to a temperature of 50 degrees C, only when stored in 80% sucrose solution. Above this temperature, inactivation of enzyme was observed. The cotton threads were used in a batch reactor for hydrolysis of sucrose in about 30 batches carried out over a period of 50 days without loss in activity. The threads could also be used in a packed bed reactor (1.51) for 97% hydrolysis of 80% sucrose syrups at 50 degrees C at a rate of about 360 kg per month for a period of 3 months. 相似文献

1. Two glutathione peroxidases (GSH-Px), D1 and D2, were partially purified from the hepatopancreas of common carp Cyprinus carpio by ion-exchange, gel filtration, and hydrophobic chromatography. The enzymatic properties of those enzymes were examined. 2. The D1 and D2 differed in following enzymatic properties. The pH optima of D1 and D2 were 8.0 and 9.0, respectively. 3. When stored at pH 4.0 for 36 hr, D1 kept 70% of maximal activity while only 30% of that was shown in D2. 4. D1 and D2 lost activity by 50% when incubated at 55 degrees C and 65 degrees C for 10 min, respectively. 相似文献

Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) diblock copolymers PEG-PCL were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone using monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) as the macroinitiator and calcium ammoniate as the catalyst. Obvious mutual influence between PEG and PCL crystallization was studied by altering the relative block length. Fixing the length of the PEG block (Mn = 5000) and increasing the length of the PCL block, the crystallization temperature of the PCL block rose gradually from 1 to about 35 degrees C while that of the PEG block dropped from 36 to -6.6 degrees C. Meanwhile, the melting temperature of the PCL block went up from 30 to 60 degrees C, while that of the PEG block declined from 60 to 41 degrees C. If the PCL block was longer than the PEG block, the former would crystallize first when cooling from a molten state and led to obviously imperfect crystallization of PEG and vice versa. And they both crystallized at the same temperature, if their weight fractions were equal. We found that the PEG block could still crystallize at -6.6 degrees C even when its weight fraction is only 14%. A unique morphology of concentric spherulites was observed for PEG5000-PCL5000. According to their morphology and real-time growth rates, it is concluded that the central and outer sections in the concentric spherulites were PCL and PEG, respectively, and during the formation of the concentric spherulite, the PEG crystallized quickly from the free space of the PCL crystal at the earlier stage, followed by outgrowing from the PCL spherulites in the direction of right angles to the circle boundaries until the entire area was occupied. 相似文献

Anhydrobiosis is considered to be an important means of achieving storage stability of entomopathogenic nematodes that are used in biological control. This study explored the effects of anhydrobiosis on longevity and infectivity of infective juveniles (IJs) of three species of entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae, Steinernema feltiae, and Steinernema riobrave at 5 and 25 degrees C. Anhydrobiosis was induced in water-dispersible granules (WG) at 0.966-0.971 water activity and 25 degrees C following a 7-day preconditioning of IJs at 5 degrees C in tap water. Survival and infectivity of the desiccated (anhydrobiotic) IJs was compared with non-desiccated IJs stored in water for different periods. Anhydrobiosis increased longevity of S. carpocapsae IJs by 3 months and of S. riobrave by 1 month in WG at 25 degrees C as compared with IJs stored in water. However, desiccation decreased S. feltiae longevity at 25 degrees C and of all three species at 5 degrees C. These results demonstrate a shelf-life of 5 months for S. carpocapsae at 25 degrees C and 9 months at 5 degrees C in WG with over 90% IJ survival. For S. feltiae, over 90% survival occurred only for 2 months at 25 degrees C and 5 months at 5 degrees C in WG. Steinernema riobrave had over 90% survival only for 1 month at 25 degrees C and the survival dropped below 85% within 1 month at 5 degrees C. Induction of anhydrobiosis in WG resulted in 85, 79 and 76% reduction in oxygen consumption by S. carpocapsae, S. feltiae, and S. riobrave IJs, respectively. Differences in IJ longevity among three species in water at 25 degrees C were related both to the initial lipid content and the rate of lipid utilisation, but not at 5 degrees C. The one-on-one infection bioassays indicated that desiccation had no negative effect on the infectivity of any of the nematode species suggesting no harmful effect on the IJs and/or their symbiotic bacteria. The species differences in IJ longevity and desiccation survival at different temperatures are discussed in relation to their foraging strategy and temperature adaptation. 相似文献

The viability of Ochlerotatus albifasciatus (Macquart) eggs stored at room temperature and at 5 degrees C was studied over 31 months. After 12, 18 and 31 months of storage, eggs were acclimatized at 22 degrees C for ten days, and then inundated twice every seven days. The effect of the storage period on the percentage of hatching was analyzed by one way ANOVA. Differences on the hatching response between the first and second flooding were analyzed by paired t-test. Differences on the hatching response between the two storage conditions were analyzed by Mann-Whitney rank test. Results showed that (1) Oc. albifasciatus eggs were able to survive and hatch over 31 months; (2) the percent hatching of eggs stored at 5 degrees C was higher than that of eggs stored at room temperature; and (3) low temperatures and long periods without water favor installment hatching. 相似文献

Relation between storage temperature and fertilizing ability of freeze-dried mouse spermatozoa 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The advantage of freeze-dried mouse spermatozoa is that samples can be stored in the refrigerator (+4 degrees C). Moreover, the storage of freeze-dried spermatozoa at ambient temperature would permit spermatozoa to be shipped easily and at low cost around the world. To examine the influence of the storage temperature on freeze-dried spermatozoa, we assessed the fertilizing ability of spermatozoa stored at different temperatures. Cauda epididymal spermatozoa were freeze-dried in buffer consisting of 50 mM ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, 50 mM NaCl, and 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0). Samples of freeze-dried spermatozoa were stored at -70, -20, +4, or +24 degrees C for periods of 1 week and 1, 3, and 5 months. Sperm chromosomes were maintained well at -70, -20, and + 4 degrees C for 5 months, and oocytes fertilized with these spermatozoa developed to normal offspring. Moreover, the chromosomal integrity of spermatozoa stored at -20 or + 4 degrees C did not decrease even after 17 months. In contrast, the chromosomes of spermatozoa stored at +24 degrees C were maintained well for 1 month but became considerably degraded after 3 months. In addition, to investigate the cause of deterioration of sperm chromosomes during storage at +24 degrees C, spermatozoa were freeze-dried in buffer containing DNase I. The chromosomes of spermatozoa freeze-dried with 1 or 0.2 units/ml of DNase I, 100% or 72%, respectively, exhibited chromosomal abnormalities. Our findings suggest that freeze-dried spermatozoa can be stored long-term with stability at +4 degrees C, and the suppression of nucleases present in the buffer or spermatozoa during storage led to the achievement of long-term storage of freeze-dried spermatozoa. 相似文献

This study reassesses the proposal that cellular conditions of low temperature and relative acidosis during hibernation contribute to a suppression of phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity which, in turn, contributes to glycolytic rate suppression during torpor. To test the proposal that a dilution effect during in vitro assay of PFK was the main reason for activity loss (tetramer dissociation) at lower pH values, the influence of the macromolecular crowding agent, polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG), on purified skeletal muscle PFK from Spermophilus lateralis was evaluated at different pH values (6.5, 7.2 and 7.5) and assay temperatures (5, 25 and 37degrees C). A 78 +/- 2.5% loss of PFK activity during 1 h incubation at 5 degrees C and pH 6.5 was virtually eliminated when 10% PEG was present (only 7.0 +/- 1.5% activity lost). The presence of PEG also largely reversed PFK inactivation at pH 6.5 at warmer assay temperatures and reversed inhibitory effects by high urea (50 or 400 mM). Analysis of pH curves at 5 degrees C also indicated that approximately 70% of activity would remain at intracellular pH values in hibernator muscle. The data suggest that under high protein concentrations in intact cells that the conditions of relative acidosis, low temperature or elevated urea during hibernation would not have substantial regulatory effects on PFK. 相似文献

The fragile histidine triad (Fhit) protein is a homodimeric protein with diadenosine 5',5"'-P(1),P(3)-triphosphate (Ap(3)A) asymmetrical hydrolase activity. We have cloned the human cDNA Fhit in the pPROEX-1 vector and expressed with high yield in Escherichia coli with the sequence Met-Gly-His(6)-Asp-Tyr-Asp-Ile-Pro-Thr-Thr followed by a rTEV protease cleavage site, denoted as "H6TV," fused to the N-terminus of Fhit. Expression of H6TV-Fhit in BL21(DE3) cells for 3 h at 37 degrees C produced 30 mg of H6TV-Fhit from 1 L of cell culture ( approximately 4 g of cells). The H6TV-Fhit protein was purified to homogeneity in a single step, with a yield of 80%, using nickel-nitrilotriacetate resin and imidazole buffer as eluting agent. Incubation of H6TV-Fhit with rTEV protease at 4 degrees C for 24 h resulted in complete cleavage of the H6TV peptide. There were no unspecific cleavage products. The purified Fhit protein could be stored for 3 weeks at 4 degrees C without loss of activity. The pure protein was stable at -20 degrees C for at least 18 months when stored in buffer containing 25% glycerol. Purified Fhit was highly active, with a K(m) value for Ap(3)A of 0.9 microM and a k(cat)(monomer) value of 7.2 +/- 1.6 s(-1) (n = 5). The catalytic properties of unconjugated Fhit protein and the H6TV-Fhit fusion protein were essentially identical. This indicates that the 24-amino-acid peptide containing the six histidines fused to the N-terminus of Fhit does not interfere in forming the active homodimers or in the binding of Ap(3)A. 相似文献

Lactase (beta-d-galactosidase) was produced by Candida pseudotropicalis grown in deproteinized whey. Maximum enzyme production in 2% whey was obtained by supplementation with 0.15% yeast extract, 0.1% (NH(4))(2)SO(4), and 0.05% KH(2)PO(4) (wt/vol). Highest enzyme values (4.35 U/mg of cells and 68 U/ml) were obtained with 10 to 12% whey, while enzyme yield was maximal in 2% whey (0.87 U/mg of whey). Optimal initial pH for cultivation was 3.5. The best conditions for extraction included 2% (wt/vol) chloroform, 10 h of treatment, pH 6.6 and higher, and 30 to 37 degrees C. Optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 6.2 and 47 degrees C. The enzyme had a K(m) for O-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside of 3.06 x 10 M and the initial V(max) was estimated as 6.63 x 10 M per min. It hydrolized 50 and 100% of the lactose in whey and milk within 4 and 5 h, respectively, at 37 degrees C. The lyophilized enzyme retained 95% of activity for 3 months when stored at -20 degrees C. 相似文献

In non-irrigated agricultural fields in tropical zones, high temperature and water stress prevail during the main cropping season. Natural epizootics of Beauveria bassiana on lepidopteran pests occur during winter. Application of B. bassiana during hot months when pest populations are at their climax may prove an effective management strategy. Therefore, 29 isolates of B. bassiana were tested for their ability to germinate and grow in temperature and water availability conditions prevailing during the pest season in these fields. The effect of temperature cycles with 8 h duration of high temperature fluctuating with 16 h duration of lower temperature (similar to field conditions); low water availability; and a combination of these two stress conditions was studied. Germination and growth assays were done at fluctuating temperature cycles of 32, 35, 38, and 42+/-1 degrees C (8 h)/25+/-1 degrees C (16 h) and in media with water stress created by 10, 20, 30, and 40% polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). Assays set at a continuous temperature of 25+/-1 degrees C with no PEG in the medium served as controls. Stress was assessed as percentage germination or as growth relative to control. Isolates showing 90% growth relative to the control at temperature cycles including high temperatures of 35 and 38+/-1 degrees C were identified. One isolate (ARSEF 2860) had a thermal threshold above 43 degrees C. At 25 degrees C, all but one isolate of B. bassiana showed >90% growth relative to the control in 10% PEG (-0.45 MPa). Some isolates were found with >90% growth relative to control in medium having 30% PEG with water availability (1.33 MPa), nearly equivalent to that in soils which induce permanent wilting point of plants. When isolates that showed >90% growth relative to the control at both stress conditions, were stressed simultaneously, a decrease in growth was observed. Growth was reduced by approximately 20% at 35+/-1 degrees C (8 h)/25+/-1 degrees C (16 h) and 10% PEG and was affected to a greater degree in combinations of harsher stress conditions. The isolate ARSEF 2860 with a thermal threshold of >43 degrees C showed approximately 80% relative growth at a combined stress of 38+/-1 degrees C (8 h)/25+/-1 degrees C (16 h) and 10% PEG. These findings will aid the selection of isolates for use in field trials in hot or dry agricultural climates. 相似文献

The stability of hemoglobin vesicles (HbV) as an oxygen infusion was tested during the storage for 1 year at 4, 23, and 40 degrees C. The surface of the HbV was modified with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and the suspension was deoxygenated with nitrogen bubbling. The samples stored at 4 and 23 degrees C showed a stable dispersion state for 1 year, though the sample stored at 40 degrees C showed the precipitation and decomposition of vesicular components, a decrease in pH, and 4% leakage of total Hb after 1 year. The PEG chains on the vesicular surface stabilize the dispersion state and prevent the aggregation and fusion due to their steric hindrance. The original metHb content (ca. 3%) before the preservation gradually decreased to less than 1% in all the samples after 1 month due to the presence of homocysteine inside the vesicles which consumed the residual oxygen and gradually reduced the trace amount of metHb. The rate of metHb formation was strongly dependent on the partial pressure of oxygen, and no increase in metHb formation was observed due to the intrinsic stability of the deoxygenated Hb. Preservation at 4 and 23 degrees C slightly reduced P(50) (increased the oxygen affinity) from 38 Torr to 32 and 31 Torr, respectively. These results indicate the possibility that HbV suspension can be stored at room temperature for at least 1 year. 相似文献
