1. Explants of mammary tissue from pseudopregnant rabbits were cultured at 37 degrees C in air for 24-48h in Medium 199 buffered with 20mm-Hepes [4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine-ethanesulphonic acid]. The medium contained insulin and corticosterone, or insulin, corticosterone and sheep prolactin in the presence or absence of ouabain, an inhibitor of Na(+)/K(+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase. The responses of explants were assessed histologically, by measuring the tissue concentration of K(+), and by rates of synthesis of RNA, protein and fatty acids. The effect of ouabain on Na(+) and K(+) concentrations in slices of lactating rabbit mammary-gland tissue incubated for 1h at 37 degrees C in Krebs bicarbonate buffer was also studied. 2. Prolactin increased the concentration of K(+) in mammary explants, an effect prevented by ouabain. In slices of lactating tissue, there was a linear relationship between the log dose of ouabain (from 0.1 to 10mum) and increased Na(+) and decreased K(+) concentrations in the tissue. 3. Ouabain at concentrations up to 1mum did not affect the rate of synthesis of RNA, protein or fatty acids by explants cultured with insulin and corticosterone. By contrast, the stimulatory effect of prolactin on protein synthesis was diminished and the induction of medium-chain fatty acid synthesis by prolactin was almost abolished. RNA synthesis was unaffected. Histological examination showed no tissue damage by 1mum-ouabain. 4. Explants cultured in the presence of 2mum-ouabain for 24h retained their ability to respond to prolactin when the ouabain was removed from the culture medium. Between 24 and 48h they showed responses to prolactin of a magnitude similar to those of explants never exposed to ouabain. 5. These results show that a fully functional Na(+)/K(+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase system is necessary for prolactin to promote secretory activity in rabbit mammary gland. 相似文献

Several cell culture factors were found to influence in vitro expression of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) in the mouse adenocarcinoma cell line Mm5mt/c1. Cells were propagated in a variety of commercially available cell culture media to which dexamethasone (DXM) was added as a stimulator of MMTV production. Culture seeding density, culture medium type, and glucose concentration each influenced MMTV production when expressed on a per cell basis. Maximum cell growth occurred in cultures grown in RPMI-1640 medium containing insulin. Those media which provided good cell growth were not necessarily optimal for virus expression. Addition of insulin did not stimulate MMTV synthesis although dexamethasone alone was stimulatory in all media used; however, maximum MMTV expression was obtained when dexamethasone and insulin were used in concert. Equivalent levels of MMTV-specific cell membrane antigen, MMTV-specific protein, and virus particles were produced at incubation temperatures of 32 degrees, 34 degrees or 37 degrees C; however, higher levels of virus-related RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RDDP) activity were recovered from cultures incubated at 32 degrees and 34 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Decreased levels of RDDP were attributed to enzyme thermolability at 37 degrees C incubation. 相似文献

Reovirus serotype 3 Dearing (T3D) has shown potential as a novel cancer therapy. To support the increasing demand for reovirus, a two-stage perfusion mode scheme is proposed for cell growth and reovirus production. Mouse L-929 cells were used as the host for reovirus infection due to their ability to grow well in suspension culture. Several L-929 cell growth and reovirus infection characteristics were investigated and optimized in spinner flask batch cultures. For the growth of L-929 cells, a balanced nutrient-fortification of SMEM medium increased the maximum cell density by 30%, compared to normal SMEM; however, ammonia and lactate accumulations were found to inhibit further cell growth. For the production of reovirus, approximately 90% increase in viral yield resulted when the infection temperature was reduced from 37 to 33 degrees C. Infectious reovirus particles were shown to be stable in conditioned medium at 37 and 33 degrees C. The final virus titer was dependent on the multiplicity of infection (MOI) and the host cell density at the time of infection. A combination of an MOI of 0.1 pfu/cell and an initial host cell density of 1.0 x 10(6) cells/mL in fortified medium resulted in a maximum virus titer of (4.59 +/- 0.16) x 10(9) pfu/mL and a specific yield of (2.34 +/- 0.08) x 10(3) pfu/cell. At an optimal harvest time of the infection process, 99% of the virus was associated with the cellular debris. Finally, the presence of 5.0 mM ammonia in the culture medium was shown to seriously inhibit the reovirus yield, whereas lactate concentrations up to 20 mM had no effect. 相似文献

Ectromelia virus strain NIH-79 was suspended in fetal bovine serum (FBS), minimum essential medium, Hanks' base plus 10% FBS (MEMH + FBS), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or PBS plus 50% glycerol (PBS + G). Suspensions were held as liquids or as dry spots at various temperatures. Virus was most stable in FBS and least stable in PBS + G at 4 degrees C, room temperature (23-25 degrees C) or 37 degrees C. Virus held at 4 degrees C was more stable than virus held at higher temperatures, irrespective of supporting medium. Dried spots of blood or serum from ectromelia virus-infected mice remained infectious at room temperature for 11 days and 4 days, respectively. Dried spots of FBS that contained virus were infectious for 5 days, whereas virus retained infectivity for 1 day after drying in other media. Virus was inactivated completely in 10% serum in PBS exposed to 60 degrees C for 30 minutes. Virus was inactivated completely in slices of infected liver and spleen immersed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 20 hours. These results show that the stability of ectromelia virus strain NIH-79 is medium and temperature dependent and that rapid inactivation occurs after treatments routinely used in diagnostic and research procedures. 相似文献

Based upon the results of scale-down intermittent perfusion processes, a cell-once-through (COT) perfusion concept was applied to a dual bioreactor system coupled to a Centritech Lab II centrifuge for culture of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (rCHO) cells for monoclonal antibody production. In this new culture mode, i.e., the COT perfusion process, total spent medium was transferred to the centrifuge and a fixed percentage was removed. Approximately 99% of the viable cells are transferred to another bioreactor filled with fresh medium by single operation of the Centritech Lab II centrifuge system for about 30 min. Accordingly, a significant reduction of the cell-passage frequency to the centrifuge led to minimization of cell damage caused by mechanical shear stress, oxygen limitation, nutrient limitation, and low temperature outside the bioreactor. The effects of culture temperature shift and fortified medium on cell growth and recombinant antibody production in the COT perfusion process were investigated. Although the suppressive effects of low culture temperature on cell growth led to a loss of stability in a long-term COT perfusion culture system, the average antibody concentration at 33 degrees C was 157.8 mg/L, approximately 2.4-fold higher than that at 37 degrees C. By the use of a fortified medium at 37 degrees C, rCHO cells were maintained at high density above 1.2 x 10(7) cells/mL, and antibody was produced continuously in a range of 260-280 mg/L in a stable long-term COT perfusion culture. The proposed new culture mode, the COT perfusion approach, guarantees the recovery of rCHO cells damaged by lowered temperature or high lactate and ammonium concentration. It will be an attractive choice for minimization of cell damage and stable long-term antibody production with high cell density. 相似文献

Thermoinactivation of human cytomegalovirus 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Vonka, Vladimir (Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Tex.), and Matilda Benyesh-Melnick. Thermoinactivation of human cytomegalovirus. J. Bacteriol. 91:221-226. 1966.-The inactivation at 4 and 37 C of several strains of human cytomegalovirus was studied. The preliminary findings that freshly harvested cytomegalovirus was inactivated more rapidly at 4 C than at higher temperatures was confirmed. Intracellular virus still within infected cells was found to be more stable at 4 C than virus released by sonic treatment just before incubation at 4 C. The composition of the diluent played an important role. In tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane buffer, virus was unstable at both 4 and 37 C, with the rate of inactivation faster at 4 than at 37 C. Similar results were obtained when bicarbonate-phosphate buffer or Eagle's medium when bicarbonate was used as virus diluent. Calf serum stabilized the virus at 37 C, but not at 4 C. The deletion of bicarbonate from Eagle's medium had a stabilizing effect at both temperatures. An even greater stabilizing effect at both 4 and 37 C was obtained when distilled water was used as virus diluent. Inactivation rates varied from one strain to the next at 4 C but not at 37 C. Differences were found also with virus progeny derived from a single strain, but harvested at different stages during virus multiplication. Virus harvested early was more labile at 4 than at 37 C, whereas the late virus was more labile at the higher temperature. Intracellular and extracellular virus preparations were inactivated at the same rates at either 4 or 37 C. 相似文献

For clinical trials, large amounts of high-titer retroviral supernatants are required. However, retroviral concentration is relatively low compared with other viral vectors. Moreover, less than half of retroviral vectors suspended in a collected supernatant are infectious because of their short half-lives. In this study, a culture medium of ecotropic retrovirus-producing GP + E86/LNCX cells in tissue culture dishes was circulated through a reservoir, which was arranged with an incubator or ice-bath stage. Titers determined from the retroviral supernatant circulated through an ice-cold reservoir increased for a week from the beginning of retroviral production, while the titers from static production with circulation through the 37 degrees C reservoir reached a plateau after 3 days of retroviral production. After 5 days, 10 times more infectious retroviruses were obtained by circulating and keeping the majority of supernatant longer in the cold reservoir than in the production vessel at 37 degrees C in comparison with the number collected from the static tissue culture dish without circulating the culture medium. Furthermore, the concentration of transduction inhibitors in the supernatant was decreased along with the retardation of retroviral decay at low temperature. The two-stage operation developed in this study should be easily applied to large-scale bioreactors for mass production of high-titer retroviral supernatants. 相似文献

Canine rotavirus was isolated in MA104 roller culture of rhesus macaque cells. Two passages in gnotobiotic puppies and two in colostrum-free puppies resulted in isolation of strain P of canine rotavirus. After 20 passages in MA104 culture the virus was adapted to MDCK culture. Optimal conditions for accumulation of canine rotavirus and its antigen (9.01 g TCD50/ml) in MDCK culture are trypsin pretreatment of the virus inoculate in the final concentration of 50 mcg/ml for 30 min at 37 degrees C, presence of trypsin (10 mcg/ml) in the maintenance medium, multiplicity of infection 0.1 TCD50/ml, and incubation in roller culture at 37 degrees C during 24-30 h. After 60 passages in cell culture, canine rotavirus completely lost its virulence for colostrum-free puppies but retained antigenic activity and induced manifest seroconversion in infected. 相似文献

Cells of the mouse macrophage-like cell line RAW264 release a dialysable inhibitor of phospholipase activity into their culture medium. This inhibitor can be detected in saline solution, Hanks solution and a variety of tissue culture media in the presence or absence of serum. The inhibitor is stable at 4 degrees C, unaffected by trypsin, nucleases, or boiling, and partially extractable with chloroform/methanol. The release of both arachidonic acid and prostaglandins from mouse macrophages or human monocytes is inhibited by this material. A variety of other cell types release the inhibitor, which is effective against stimulation of arachidonic acid release from cultured macrophages by zymosan, serum, immune complexes and the calcium ionophore A23187. 相似文献

链脲佐菌素致胰岛NO自由基损伤模型的建立和应用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
以链脲佐菌素Streptozotocin(简称STZ)为糖尿病的诱因,以NO自由基含量为响应指标,建立了体外小鼠胰岛水平糖尿病药物筛选模型。当STZ作用浓度在0~50mmol/L内变化时,培养液中被检测到的NO大部分是来源于STZ溶于水后释放出的,而很小一部分是由胰岛培养物自身释放的,后者稳定在30~35mmol/L之间。另一方面,NO含量与胰岛素分泌量的剂量关系表明NO的增加伴随着胰岛素分泌量的下降,这标志着NO对胰岛功能的氧化性损伤,从而验证了NO作为该模型响应参量的可靠性。最终确定STZ致胰岛NO自由基损伤模型中STZ的作用浓度为5.0mmol/L,此时NO含量和胰岛素分泌量分别为STZ未加入前的10.81倍和0.43倍。最后应用该模型,快捷地考察了不同铬含量的魔芋葡甘露寡糖铬络合物(简称KOSCr)清除NO自由基的能力。 相似文献

The rate of adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by activated charcoal (AC) from liquid and semi-solid tissue culture media was determined using 2-[14C]-2,4-D. In liquid medium 99.5% of the added 2,4-D (10-4 M) was adsorbed by AC (2.5 gl-1) within 5 days of preparation of the medium. Higher 2,4-D levels of reduced AC concentrations increased the level of available 2,4-D in the medium and extended the period necessary for the level of 2,4-D in the medium to become stabilized. In semi-solid medium the rate of adsorption of 2,4-D by AC was considerably reduced. A stable ratio of gel/2,4-D:AC/2,4-D was only reached after 10 to 20 days, depending on the 2,4-D concentration used. Low pH levels and maintenance of the medium at higher temperatures (20–30°C) accelerated the adsorption of 2,4-D by AC. In vitro tissue cultures of coconut palm showed marked differences in their growth response according to the age of the medium used and the associated variations in 2,4-D concentrations.Abbreviations AC

Strains of transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus possessing different pathogenicity were examined for stability to digestive enzymes and acid, and growth at various temperatures. In growth experiments, virus titer obtained at 37 degrees C were about equal between attenuated and virulent strains, but titers attained by the attenuated strain were higher at 30 degrees C. The attenuated virus multiplied at 28 degrees C, but the virulent virus did not at this temperature. The virulent virus was significantly stable to trypsin and pepsin, but the attenuated virus was inactivated rapidly by these proteolytic enzymes. No significant differences were observed in stability to acid between the attenuated and virulent strains. At different pH, both lost their infectivity more rapidly at 37 degrees C than at 22 degrees C. 相似文献

An endopolygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase (EC 4.2.2.2), released by osmotic shock of Erwinia rubrifaciens cells, has been purified to near homogeneity (3, 100-fold) by column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, phosphocellulose, and hydroxyapatite-cellulose followed by isoelectric focusing. It has a molecular weight of 41,000, s20,w of 3.09S, an isoelectric point of pH 6.25, pH optimum of 9.5, and a temperature optimum of 37 C and requires Ca2+ with an optimum concentration of 0.5 to 1.0 mM. Mg2+ could not substitute for Ca2+. Tyrosinyl residues seem essential for enzyme catalysis based on rapid inactivation by tetranitromethane. The enzyme prefers unmethylated polygalacturonic acid as the substrate, cleaving alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages randomly to form unsaturated galacturonides at a Vmax of 1,166 mumol of product/min per mg of protein and a Km of 5 mg of polygalacturonic acid per ml. Over 90% of the enzyme activity is released from osmotically shocked E. rubrifaciens cells. Unlike E. rubrifaciens, trans-eliminase is not released from Erwinia carotovora cells by osmotic shock treatment, but enzyme activity is detected in the culture medium. The release of the enzyme is reduced fivefold by the addition of dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate. The hypersensitive reaction in tobacco leaves was induced within 60 min after injection of less than 1 mug of purified E. rubrifaciens trans-eliminase. Single cells of tobacco in suspension culture are readily killed by the enzyme, whereas tobacco protoplasts remain unaffected when treated in the same manner. These results indicate that endopolygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase is a constitutive enzyme possibly located in the periplasmic space of the E. rubrifaciens cell and releases enzyme into the culture medium in the presence of substrate. The release of the enzyme in tobacco tissue and the trans-eliminative cleavage of plant cell wall components may be steps leading to hypersensitivity of the tobacco tissue. 相似文献

The production of extracellular acid proteases from Aspergillus clavatus was evaluated in a culture filtrate medium, with different carbon and nitrogen sources. The fungus was cultivated at three
different temperatures during 10 days. The proteolytic activity was determined on haemoglobin pH 5.0 at 37 °C. The highest
acid proteolytic activity (80 U/ml) was observed in culture medium containing glucose and gelatin at 1%(w/v) at 30 °C at the
third day of incubation. Cultures developed in Vogel medium with glucose at 2%(w/v) showed at about 45% of proteolytic activity
when compared to the cultures with 1% of the same sugar. The optimum pH of enzymatic activity was 2.0 and the enzyme was stable
at pH values ranging from 2.0 to 4.0. The optimum temperature was 40 °C and the half-lives at 40, 45 and 50 °C were 30, 10
and 5 min, respectively.

Acid resistance of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was examined as a function of growth conditions (i.e., in vitro growth medium and pH). M. paratuberculosis was cultured in either fatty acid-containing medium (7H9-OADC) or glycerol-containing medium (WR-GD or 7H9-GD) at two culture pHs (pHs 6.0 and 6.8). Organisms produced in these six medium and pH conditions were then tested for resistance to acetate buffer at pHs 3, 4, 5, and 6 at 20 degrees C. A radiometric culture method (BACTEC) was used to quantify viable M. paratuberculosis cell data at various acid exposure times, and D values (decimal reduction times, or the times required to kill a 1-log(10) concentration of bacteria) were determined. Soluble proteins of M. paratuberculosis grown under all six conditions were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to identify proteins that may be associated with acid resistance or susceptibility. The culture medium affected growth rate and morphology: thin floating sheets of cells were observed in 7H9-OADC versus confluent, thick, waxy, and wrinkled pellicles in WR-GD. Culture medium pH affected growth rate (which was highest at pH 6.0), but it had little or no effect on D values for M. paratuberculosis at any test pH. When grown in 7H9-OADC, M. paratuberculosis was more acid resistant at all test pHs (higher D values) than when grown in WR-GD. Glycerol appeared to be the culture medium component most responsible for lower levels of M. paratuberculosis acid resistance. When glycerol was substituted for OADC in the 7H9 medium, D values were significantly lower than those of 7H9-OADC-grown M. paratuberculosis and were approximately the same as those for M. paratuberculosis grown in WR-GD medium. Comparison of the SDS-PAGE protein profiles for M. paratuberculosis cultures grown in 7H9-OADC, WR-GD, or 7H9-GD medium revealed that increased expression of 34.2- and 14.0-kDa proteins was associated with higher levels of acid resistance of M. paratuberculosis grown in 7H9-OADC medium and that 56.6- and 41.3-kDa proteins were associated with lower levels of acid resistance. This is the first report showing that in vitro culture conditions significantly affect growth characteristics, acid resistance, and protein expression of M. paratuberculosis, and the results emphasize the importance of culture conditions for in vitro susceptibility studies. 相似文献

Gentamicin pharmacokinetics was studied in the zone of subcutaneous implantation to rats of Septopal, a dosage form based on polymethylmethacrylate stable in vivo (4.5 mg of the antibiotic) and of preparations based on biodegradable polymers such as monocarboxycellulose, alginic acid, nonmodified and modified collagens (1 and 5 mg of the antibiotic). A three-phase pattern of gentamicin level changing in the implantation zone was observed: (1) rapid increasing and decreasing of the antibiotic concentration, (2) stabilization of the gentamicin content at a practically constant level and (3) slow lowering of the antibiotic level in the tissue. Comparison of the areas under the concentration/time curves showed that the modified collagen, alginic acid and monocarboxycellulose had the highest prolongation effect among the biodegradable polymers. Their use in the compositions provided during the first hours after the implantation the antibiotic concentrations in the administration site equal to tens micrograms per 1 g of the tissue. After that during 14 days the concentration of gentamicin in the implantation zone maintained at the level higher than its MIC for the main pathogens of wound infections. 相似文献

acid alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) was purified from fetal bovine muscle by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A and Sephadex G-100 and added to the culture medium of mature muscle cultures from animals affected by glycogenosis type II. The enzyme activity in homogenates of treated cultures was significantly increased within 4 h of the addition of enzyme, was maximal by 18 h and the internalised activity was stable for at least 48 h after the removal of the enzyme from the culture medium. The acid alpha-glucosidase activity was internalised with an uptake constant of 300 nM and a Vmax of uptake of 133 nmol/h per mg protein. The glycogen concentration in affected cultures treated with exogenous acid alpha-glucosidase for 24 h had decreased by 20% and after a further 24 h of culture was comparable to the concentration observed in cultures from non-affected animals. 相似文献

Characteristics of fusion of respiratory syncytial virus with HEp-2 cells as measured by R18 fluorescence dequenching assay. 总被引:6,自引:6,他引:0
The characteristics of fusion of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) with HEp-2 cells were studied by the R18 fluorescence dequenching assay of membrane fusion. A gradual increase in fluorescence intensity indicative of virion-cell fusion was observed when R18-labeled RSV was incubated with HEp-2 cells. Approximately 35% dequenching of the probe fluorescence was observed in 1 h at 37 degrees C. Fusion showed a temperature dependence, with significant dequenching occurring above 18 degrees C. The dequenching was also dependent on the relative concentration of target membrane. Thus, increasing the concentration of target membrane resulted in increased levels of dequenching. In addition, viral glycoproteins were shown to be involved in this interaction, since dequenching was significantly reduced by pretreatment of labeled virus at 70 degrees C for 5 min or by trypsinization of R18-labeled virions prior to incubation with HEp-2 cells at 37 degrees C. The fusion of RSV with HEp-2 cells was unaffected over a pH range of 5.5 to 8.5, with some increase seen at lower pH values. Treatment of HEp-2 cells with ammonium chloride (20 and 10 mM), a lysosomotropic agent, during early stages of infection did not inhibit syncytium formation or progeny virion production by RSV. At the same concentrations of ammonium chloride, the production of vesicular stomatitis virus was reduced approximately 4 log10 units. These results suggest that fusion of the virus with the cell surface plasma membrane is the principal route of entry. 相似文献

Stimulation by abscisic acid of RNA synthesis in discs from healthy and tobacco mosaic virus-infected tobacco leaves 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Uptake of abscisic acid from the culture medium by discs of healthy and tobacco mosaic virus-infected tobacco leaves was measured. Small (two to five-fold) increases in abscisic acid concentration in discs caused increases in rates of [3H]uridine and [3H]adenine incorporation into total nucleic acid, virus RNA and host ribosomal RNA. Net accumulation of virus RNA was also enhanced by abscisic acid. This evidence for stimulation of RNA synthesis is compared with previous reports showing inhibition of RNA synthesis in other tissues. It is suggested that the increase in endogenous abscisic acid caused by tobacco mosaic virus infection may be at least partly responsible for observed increases in rates of RNA synthesis after infection.Abbreviations ABA
