海湾扇贝衣原体样生物超微结构观察

对海湾扇贝生长不同阶段的样品进行了透射电镜观察,在样品消化腺上皮细胞内发现类衣原体感染。该类衣原体具有原体、网状体和中间体等典型发育阶段,原体个体小而致密,网状体大而疏松,以等体积分裂进行繁殖。在细胞质内形成单层膜包被的包涵体,包涵体发育晚期破裂,宿主细胞崩解,衣原体逸出。衣原体感染可导致细胞核变形,染色质凝聚,内质网核糖体脱落,线粒体内嵴消失。

Inbreeding depression for various traits in two cultured populations of the American bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians Lamarck (1819) introduced into China

This paper examines the effect of inbreeding level of population on the magnitude of inbreeding depression expressed by comparing them between two cultured populations (A and B) in the hermaphroditic animal of the bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians. Population A is expected to have less genetic variations and higher inbreeding level due to longer cultured history (20 generations) and less “ancestral” individuals (26 individuals) than population B due to shorter cultured history (4 generations) and more “ancestral” individuals (406 individuals). Two groups within each population were produced, one using self-fertilization and one using mass-mating within the same population. Selfed offspring (AS and BS) from two populations both had lower fitness components than their mass-mated counterparts (AM and BM) and exhibited inbreeding depression for all examined traits, e.g. lower hatching, less viability and slower growth, indicating that inbreeding depression is a common feature in this animal. Fitness components in all traits of offspring from population A significantly differed those from population B and the magnitude of inbreeding depression for all traits in population A with higher inbreeding level was significantly smaller than that in population B with lower inbreeding level, indicating that both fitness components and magnitude of inbreeding depression were significantly affected by inbreeding level of populations and genetic load harbored in population A may be partially purged through inbreeding. Moreover, the magnitude of inbreeding depression in the two populations both varied among traits and life history stages. The present results support the partial-dominance hypothesis of inbreeding depression.     

Carbon nanotube-assisted enhancement of surface plasmon resonance signal

We describe a method of amplifying the biosensing signal in surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based immunoassays using an antibody–carbon nanotube (CNT) conjugate. As a model system, human erythropoietin (EPO) and human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM–CSF) were detected by sandwich-type immunoassays using an SPR biosensor. For the amplification of the SPR signal, the CNT was conjugated with a polyclonal antibody, and then the conjugates were reacted with antibodies coupled with the target proteins. This amplification strategy increases the dynamic range of the immunoassays and enhances the detection sensitivity. The SPR immunoassays, combined with the CNT-assisted signal amplification method, provided a wide dynamic range over four orders of magnitude for both EPO and GM–CSF (0.1–1000 ng/ml). The CNT amplification method is expected to realize the detection of picogram levels and a wide dynamic detection range of multiple proteins, enabling it to offer a robust analysis tool for the development of biopharmaceutical production.     

Acquisition of thermotolerance in bay scallops, Argopecten irradians irradians, via differential induction of heat shock proteins

Many cells and organisms are rendered transiently resistant to lethal heat shock by short exposure to sublethal temperatures. This induced thermotolerance is thought to be related to increased amounts of heat shock proteins (HSPs) which, as molecular chaperones, protect cells from stress-induced damage. As part of a study on bivalve stress and thermotolerance, work was undertaken to examine the effects of sublethal heat shock on stress tolerance of juveniles of the northern bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians, in association with changes in the levels of cytoplasmic HSP70 and 40. Juvenile bay scallops heat-shocked at a sublethal temperature of 32 °C survived an otherwise lethal heat treatment at 35 °C for at least 7 days. As determined by ELISA, acquisition of induced thermotolerance closely paralleled HSP70 accumulation, whereas HSP40 accrual appeared less closely associated with thermotolerance. Quantification of scallop HSPs following lethal heat treatment, with or without conditioning, suggested a causal role for HSP70 in stress tolerance, with HSP40 contributing to a lesser, but significant extent. Overall, this study demonstrated that sublethal heat shock promotes survival of A. irradians irradians juveniles upon thermal stress and the results support the hypothesis that HSPs have a role in this induced thermotolerance. Exploitation of the induced thermotolerance response shows promise as a means to improve survival of bay scallops in commercial culture.
