The three molecular forms of the anti-encephalitogenic protein, beta-SCP, gamma-SCP, and SCP-peptide were isolated in higher yield by a shortened procedure, which involved 1) extraction of bovine spinal cord (BSC) or bovine spinal roots (BSR) with 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 4.5, 2) batch absorption on CM-52 cellulose, 3) stepwise elution with sodium acetate buffers, pH 5.8, containing increasing concentrations of sodium chloride and finally, 4) removal of trace contaminants by gel-exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-50 superfine. The m.w. of the purified proteins determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 13,200 daltons. The same value for the molecular sizes was obtained by gel-exclusion chromatography by using 0.1% SDS in 0.05M sodium chloride as eluant. In the absence of SDS the molecular sizes estimated by gel exclusion chromatography ranged from 14,000 to 18,500. The amino acid compositions of the beta-SCP and gamma-SCP from BSC and BSR were similar except that beta-SCP from BSR lacked half-cystine whereas gamma-SCP from BSR contained three times as much half-cystine as the SCP forms prepared from BSC. All forms of SCP showed reactions of identity when compared by immunodiffusion analyses with a rabbit anti-bovine SCP serum; none formed precipitin lines with a rabbit anti-bovine myelin basic protein (MyBP) serum. 相似文献

Mitogenic activity is present at a variety of sites in the central nervous system. A growth factor was purified from neonatal bovine spinal cord. It has a pI of 9.5-9.8 and a molecular weight of about 11,000 daltons. Spinal cord growth factor is a basic polypeptide that is inactivated by extremely acid or basic conditions. Its mobility on SDS polyacrylamide gels suggests that this factor is different from pituitary FGF and brain FGF-1. 相似文献

Protein SCP is found in myelin of spinal cord and spinal roots. It is shown that its amount accounts for 12% of the total protein content in myelin of spinal roots and only for 2% in myelin of spinal cord. Almost all the studied protein is extracted from myelin with 0.1 M NaCl (80-90%). The absolute identity of protens SCP and P2 is established using the cross reaction immunodiffusion with monospecific antisera. It is shown that- N-terminal amino acid in protein SCP, like in protein P2 is blocked. On the basis of the data obtained a conclusion is made that protein P2 is not an integral protein of myelin. However, myelin is capable under conditions of a nonionic medium of binding protein which then may be easily extracted by increasing the medium ionic strength. This gave reasons to propose a method for protein P2 isolation from myelin using 0.15 M NaCl with the subsequent purification by means of Sephadex G-50 gelfiltration. 相似文献

Choline acetyltransferase (CAT) was purified to homogeneity from 363 g of human neostriatum by means of ammonium sulfate and protamine sulfate fractionation, followed by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, hydroxyapatite, phosphocellulose, and agarose-hexane-Co A columns. The final product migrated as a single component on 7.5% gels with or without SDS. It had a molecular weight of 66,000 daltons and a specific activity of 7.3 mol acetylcholine formed per milligram protein per minute. Antibodies prepared in rabbits gave single precipitin lines against this protein on Ouchterlony immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis plates. The CAT-anti-CAT IgG complex migrated as a single band on gel electrophoresis, establishing the monospecificity of the antibodies. Strong cross-reactivity to the IgG was obtained with CAT from rat, rabbit, and guinea pig, but only weak reactivity with chicken. Fab fragments were prepared from the rabbit IgG and were used to stain CAT-containing neurons in the spinal cord and nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction using the PAP technique. 相似文献

- 1.1.|The human spinal cord protein (HSCP) is immunochemically closely related to the anti-encephalitogenic bovine spinal cord protein (BSCP) and immunoreactive HSCP is similarly distributed in brain, spinal cord and spinal nerve roots (a peripheral nervous tissue) in the proportions of 1 : 6 : 60. HSCP and protein immunochemically identical to HSCP (HSCP-PN), were purified from frozen spinal cords and frozen peripheral nervous tissue, respectively, by extraction with 0.15 M sodium chloride, carboxy-methyl cellulose (CM-cellulose) chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-50.
- 2.2.|Purified HSCP and HSCP-PN formed one band in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoretograms and had estimated molecular sizes of 13 700 and 14 700, respectively. The amino acid compositions were similar except that HSCP had 16% glutamic acid and lacked half cystine while HSCP-PN contained 11.9% of glutamic acid and 1.0% of half cystine.
- 3.3.|Immunodiffusion analyses with anti-HSCP or anti-BSCP sera revealed that extracts of spinal cord and spinal nerves and purified HSCP and HSCP-PN are composed of immunogenically distinct major and minor forms. The major forms and the minor forms of HSCP and HSCP-PN are identical to each other but share different antigenic amino acid sequences with BSCP. Immunoelectrophoretic profiles of spinal cord and spinal nerve extracts indicated that the major and minor HSCP antigens also existed in two different molecular forms having the electrophoretic mobilities of a β- or a γ-serum globulin. The four different molecular forms were present in purified HSCP-PN, but only the forms with γ-electrophoretic mobility were present in purified HSCP.

The appearance of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) during embryonic and postnatal development of the rat brain and spinal cord and in rat sciatic nerve during postnatal development was examined by the immunoblot technique. Cytoskeletal proteins were isolated from the central and peripheral nervous system and separated by SDS slab gel electrophoresis or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins from the acrylamide gels were transferred to nitrocellulose sheets which were treated with anti-bovine GFAP serum and GFAP was identified by the immunoblot technique. GFAP was present in the embryonic rat brain and spinal cord at 14 and 16 days of gestation respectively. The appearance of GFAP at this stage of neural development suggests that the synthesis of GFAP may be related to the proliferation of radial glial cells from which astrocytes are derived. It is also feasible that GFAP provides structural support for the radial glial cell processes analogous to its role in differentiated astrocytes. GFAP was found to be present in rat sciatic nerves at birth and at all subsequent stages of development. These results indicate that some cellular elements in the rat sciatic nerve, such as Schwann cells, are capable of synthesizing GFAP which is immunochemically indistinguishable from its counterpart in the central nervous system. Thus it appears that GFAP is present both in the central and peripheral nervous system of the rat when the glial cells synthesizing GFAP are still undergoing differentiation. 相似文献

Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) has been purified from pig brain to greater than 95% homogeneity (purification factor: 646 000, specific activity of the purified enzyme: 128 mumol acetylcholine formed/min/mg). Gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate and beta-mercaptoethanol revealed a single protein band at 68 000 daltons. Immunoprecipitation and double immunodiffusion tests showed that antisera raised against this protein specifically recognize ChAT. A monoclonal antibody prepared against the enzyme specifically binds a protein from crude pig brain supernatants which has a mol. wt. of 68 000 and a specific activity of 153 mumol/min/mg. This antibody shows no species cross-reactivity. The specificity of the immunohistochemical localization of ChAT has been established by comparing the labeling of pig retina using the antiserum with that obtained using the monoclonal antibody. Both probes specifically identify the same retinal structures: labeled cell bodies are found in the inner nuclear layer and the ganglion cell layer, while a double band is stained in the inner plexiform layer. In rat spinal cord, the antiserum labels the motoneurons and the preganglionic sympathetic neurons, located in the intermedio-lateral nucleus, the intercalated region, and the central autonomic area. 相似文献

A protein extracted from bovine peripheral myelin (BF) and a protein extracted from bovine spinal cord (SCP) have been shown to be identical: the proteins cross-react immunochemicaliy with each other but not with highly purified CNS myelin basic protein. Neither BF nor SCP have anti-encephalitogenic activity. Their electrophoretic behavior is the same at three different pH values. Their apparent molecular weight by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis is 13,800 ± 550. The amino acid compositions of the proteins are essentially identical. BF and SCP each contain 2 cysteine residues and have valine at the C terminus. The 23 major tryptic peptides are identical on peptide maps. Circular dichroic analyses yield essentially identical curves, which, when computed by best-fit curve analysis, indicate that each has 0%α helix and a large percentage of β structure. 相似文献

Alterations in brain metabolism induced by chronic morphine treatment: NMR studies in rat CNS 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

High-resolution (500 MHz) multiresonance/multinuclear proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to detect metabolic changes and cellular injury in the rat brain stem and spinal cord following chronic morphine treatment. Compensatory changes were observed in glycine, glutamate, and inositols in the brain stem, but not the spinal cord, of chronic morphine-treated rats. In spinal cord, increases were detected in lactate and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), suggesting that there is anaerobic glycolysis, plasma membrane damage, and altered pH preferentially in the spinal cord of chronic morphine-treated rats. 相似文献

This study characterized the differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs) isolated from different levels of the spinal cord (cervical vs lumbar cord) and different regions along the neuraxis (brain vs cervical spinal cord) of adult male Wistar enhanced green fluorescent protein rats. The differentiation of cervical spinal cord NSPCs was further examined after variation of time in culture, addition of growth factors, and changes in cell matrix and serum concentration. Brain NSPCs did not differ from cervical cord NSPCs in the percentages of neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes but produced 26.9% less radial glia. Lumbar cord NSPCs produced 30.8% fewer radial glia and 6.9% more neurons compared with cervical cord NSPCs. Spinal cord NSPC differentiation was amenable to manipulation by growth factors and changes in in vitro conditions. This is the first study to directly compare the effect of growth factors, culturing time, serum concentration, and cell matrix on rat spinal cord NSPCs isolated, propagated, and differentiated under identical conditions.

Medium conditioned by primary cultures of fetal or neonatal rat skeletal muscle, fibroblasts, or lung cells dramatically increases the neuritic outgrowth from spinal cord explants. After 7 days in vitro, the outgrowth of neurites from 15- to 16-day fetal rat spinal cord slices grown in conditioned medium (CM) covers a 3- to 4-fold greater area than that from slices grown in fresh, nonconditioned (control) medium. Moreover, the pattern of neuritic outgrowth is markedly different in CM-treated slices. In control slices, the neurites form a tangled, dense network of neurites which usually extend only a small distance from the slice edge, while in CM-treated slices, the neurites form a more open network, with the majority of neurites extending radially for long distances (up to several millimeters) from the slice edge. The effect of CM on neuritic outgrowth is not due to a detoxification or modification of the serum in the medium, because increased neuritic outgrowth was observed in slices grown in medium conditioned in the presence or absence of 10% fetal calf serum. The outgrowth-enhancing factor(s) in CM has a high molecular weight, since all outgrowth-enhancing activity is retained by membrane filters with a nominal molecular weight cutoff of 105 daltons. This factor(s) is stable at 58°C for 30 min, and does not appear to be βNGF or fibronectin. 相似文献

Encephalitogenic, immunogenic properties of the polypeptide fraction of myelin basic protein (FBP) and CNS lesions have been examined in animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). FBP was isolated from bovine spinal cord using column chromatography. Administration of 1.0 or 0.1 microgram FBP mixed with complete Freund adjuvant caused neurological and histological EAE manifestations in 76% and 26% of guinea-pigs, respectively. Circulating anti-FBP antibodies were not found in sensitized animals, whereas the incidence and intensity of skin reaction of delayed type hypersensitivity to FBP correlated with the development of EAE and the onset of the disease. Perivascular cell infiltration and demyelination noted in the spinal cord and brain of guinea-pigs were similar to those observed after inoculation of the brain white matter or brain tissue homogenate. 相似文献

Beef liver and beef spinal cord d-glycerate dehydrogenases have been shown to be extremely similar. No differences between the two enzymes could be shown by polyacrylamide electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis, immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, or their response to certain inhibitors. Differences could be obtained, however, between the beef spinal cord enzyme and the hog spinal cord enzyme by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.Only by the very sensitive technique of microcomplement fixation could a small but significant difference be shown between the beef liver and beef spinal cord enzymes. Like the beef liver and hog spinal cord enzymes, the beef spinal cord enzyme was not inhibited by high concentrations of serine or glycine. The enzyme was inhibited however by low concentrations of phosphohydroxypyruvate and by other phosphorylated compounds. 相似文献

The possible presence of host serum proteins on the surface of Trypanosoma vivax stock Zaria Y486 was studied. Intact washed bloodstream forms from mice were not lysed or neutralized by antisera against mouse serum proteins. Serum against T. vivax prepared in rabbits against an antigen which was a water-soluble trypanosome extract, failed to cross-react with mouse serum when tested by immunoelectrophoresis and immunodiffusion. The T. vivax antigen failed to cross-react with three different anti-mouse sera when tested by the same techniques.Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analyses of 125I-surface-labeled parasites showed the presence of a cluster of proteins ranging in molecular weights between 57,000 and 45,000 daltons. None of these proteins was precipitated by anti-mouse serum protein sera. The serum against T. vivax precipitated a protein of 50,000 daltons molecular weight. 相似文献

Abstract: Total poly(A)+ RNA was isolated from fetal calf spinal cord, adult rat spinal cord, and young rat brain, and was translated using the rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. The amount of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the translation products was measured by immunoprecipitation with antiserum against glial fibrillary acidic protein. RNA from fetal calf spinal cord could direct glial fibrillary acidic protein synthesis such that this protein comprised approximately 1.4% of the total products. RNAs from adult rat spinal cord and brain could direct glial fibrillary acidic protein synthesis much less efficiently, with this protein comprising <0.3% of the total products. These results suggest that the gene for glial fibrillary acidic protein is strongly expressed in fetal calf spinal cord and that this tissue is an enriched source of mRNA encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein. 相似文献

Analysis and Comparison of In Vitro Synthesized Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein with Rat CNS Intermediate Filament Proteins 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0
Intermediate filament (IF) proteins from rat spinal cord were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and compared with the in vitro translation products of a messenger RNA-dependent reticulocyte lysate system stimulated with 16-day-old rat brain polysomes. In two dimensions, the molecular weight 49,000 to 50,000 band of the IF preparation resolved to seven spots, whereas antiserum to glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein precipitated only two immediately adjacent radiolabeled in vitro synthesized products, with molecular weights of 49,000 to 50,000. Autoradiographs of two-dimensional gels of extracted IF proteins incubated with iodinated IgG fraction of GFA protein antiserum showed that all seven spots were recognized by the antiserum. These observations suggest that the primary gene product of GFA protein is modified either by post-translational processing or experimental artifact. 相似文献

Isorenin, pseudorenin, cathepsin D and renin. A comparative enzymatic study of angiotensin-forming enzymes 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
1. Renin was purified 30 000-fold from rat kidneys by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and SP-Sephadex, and by affinity chromatography on pepstatinyl-Sepharose. 2. The enzymatic properties of isorenin from rat brain, pseudorenin from hog spleen, cathepsin D from bovine spleen, and renin from rat kidneys were compared: Isorenin, pseudorenin and cathepsin D generate angiotensin from tetradecapeptide renin substrate with pH optima around 4.9, renin at 6.0. With sheep angiotensinogen as substrate, isorenin, pseudorenin and cathepsin D have similar pH profiles (pH optima at 3.9 and 5.5), in contrast to renin (pH optimum at 6.8). 3. The angiotensin-formation from tetradecapeptide by isorenin, pseudorenin and cathepsin D was inhibited by albumin, alpha-and beta-globulins. These 3 enzymes have acid protease activity at pH 3.2 with hemoglobin as the substrate. Renin is not inhibited by proteins and has no acid protease activity. 4. Renin generates angiotensin I from various angiotensinogens at least 100 000 times faster than isorenin, pseudorenin or cathepsin D, and 3000 000 times faster than isorenin when compared at pH 7.2 with rat angiotensinogen as substrate. 5. The 3 'non-renin' enzymes exhibit a high sensitivity to inhibition by pepstatin (Ki less than 5.10(-10) M), in contrast to renin (Ki approximately 6-10(-7) M), at pH 5.5. 6. It is concluded from the data that isorenin from rat brain and pseudorenin from hog spleen are closely related to, or identical with cathepsin D. 相似文献
