Résumé Nous avons fait élever des larves d'Anergates atratulus par des ouvrières deMyrmica laevinodis à 22°C. Pour y parvenir, il n'est pas utile de faire hivernerensemble les larves d'Anergates et les ouvrières deMyrmica. La présence de larves autochtones n'empêche pas lesMyrmica d'élever des larves d'Anergates. Dans toutes les expériences lesMyrmica ont été soumises au fridavant de recevoir des larves d'Anergates. Aucune reine deMyrmica n'a été utilisée dans ces expériences.Sur les 64 larves d'Anergates que nous avons utilisées, 38 se sont transformées en imagos. C'est au début de l'adoption et au moment des métamorphoses que périrent la plupart des 26Anergates perdus. Les femelles vécurent en général 2 ou 3 jours et cherchèrent très tôt à quitter le nid natal. Les mâles vécurent 2 à 3 semaines.
Summary Larvae ofAnergates atratulus were experimentally reared by workers ofMyrmica laevinodis, at 22°C. An overwintering of both larvae ofAnergates and workers ofMyrmica is not necessary for the success of that experiment. The presence of larvae ofMyrmica does not keep theMyrmica from rearing larvae ofAnergates. The workers ofMyrmica have been cooled, in all the experiments, before receiving larvae ofAnergates. No queen ofMyrmica have been used in that experiments.38 of the 64 larvae ofAnergates used became imagos. Most of the 26 lostAnergates died at the beginning of the adoption and during the metamorphosis. The females lived generally 2 or 3 days and tried, very early, to leave their native nest. The males lived 2 or 3 weeks.

Six tetrasaccharide fractions were isolated from shark cartilage chondroitin sulfate D by gel filtration chromatography followed by HPLC on an amine-bound silica column after exhaustive digestion with testicular hyaluronidase. Their structures were determined unambiguously by one- and two-dimensional 500 MHz1H NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with HPLC analysis of chondroitinase AC-II digests of the tetrasaccharides. One fraction was found to contain two tetrasaccharide components. All the seven tetrasaccharides shared the common core structure GlcA1-3GalNAc1-4GlcA1-3GalNAc with various sulfation profiles. Four were disulfated comprising of two monosulfated disaccharide units GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-sulfate) and/or GlcA1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate), whereas the other three were hitherto unreported trisulfated tetrasaccharides containing a disulfated disaccharide unit GlcA(2-sulfate)1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) and a monosulfated disaccharide unit GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-or 6-sulfate). These sulfated tetrasaccharides were demonstrated to serve as appropriate acceptor substrates for serum -N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase, indicating their usefulness as authentic oligosaccharide substrates or probes for the glycobiology of sulfated glycosaminoglycans.Abbreviations NFU National formulary unit - COSY correlation spectroscopy - HOHAHA homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn - 1D or 2D one- or two-dimensional - IdoA l-iduronic acid - GlcA d-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronic acid - Di-0S GlcA1-3GalNAc - Di-4S GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-sulfate) - Di-4S GlcA1-3GalNAc(4-sulfate) - Di-6S GlcA1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) - Di-6S GlcA1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) - Di-diS d GlcA(2-sulfate)1-3GalNAc(6-sulfate) - Di-diSE GlcA1-3GalNAc(4, 6-disulfate) - U G, U, 2S, 4S, and 6S represent GlcA, GalNAc, GlcA, 2-O-sulfate, 4-O-sulfate, and 6-O-sulfate, respectively  相似文献

Mycolic acid patterns of some species of Mycobacterium   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Representative strains of some species of Mycobacterium were degraded by both acid and alkaline methanolysis. Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography was used to determine the patterns of mycolic acids and other long-chain components in these methanolysates. Patterns composed of -, methoxy- and ketomycolates were found in Mycobacterium asiaticum, Mycobacterium bovix, Mycobacterium gastri, Mycobacterium gordonae, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis; a representative of Mycobacterium thermoresistibile also contained lower molecular weight -mycolates in addition to these three acids. In representatives or Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum, Mycobacterium novum, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, Mycobacterium terrae, Mycobacterium xenopi, and Mycobacterium sp. MNC 165 - and ketomycolates were accompanied by -carboxymycolates and 2-eicosanol and homologous alcohols which are derived from wax-ester mycolates. Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium giae contained - and epoxymycolates and both serovars of Mycobacterium simiae had a very characteristic pattern of -, - and ketomycolic acids. Comparison with data for other mycobacteria showed the chemotaxonomic significance of these mycolic acid patterns.Abbreviations TLC thin-layer chromatography - TBDMS t-butyldimethylsilyl Supplementary data: Copies of the chromatographic patterns of the mycolic acids from all the strains examined can be provided on request from one of the authors (D.E.M.)  相似文献

The genes were cloned for the two apoprotein subunits, and ,of phycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima = Arthrospiramaxima) strain F3. The - and -subunit gene-coding regionscontain 489 bp and 519 bp, respectively. The -subunit gene is upstreamfrom the -subunit gene, with a 111-bp segment separating them.Similarities between the -subunits of S. maxima and nine othercyanobacteria were between 58% and 99%, as were those between the -subunits. The maximum similarity between the - and -subunits from S. maxima was 27%.  相似文献

To test the hypothesis that the T-cell receptor (Tcr) gene encodes a natural killer (NK) cell receptor molecule, three human NK clones and fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes with NK activity from two patients with a CD16+ lymphocytosis were analyzed for rearrangements and expression of the human Tcr , , and genes. Two of the clones displayed distinct rearrangements of their Tcr and genes and expressed mature Tcr , , and l RNA. However, one of the clones and both patient samples displayed marked NK activity but failed to rearrange or express any of their Tcr genes. These findings demonstrate that human natural killer activity is not dependent on Tcr gene rearrangement and expression. In addition, they confirm previous findings concerning the lack of Tcr and gene expression in some natural killer cells. Thus, they suggest the existence of additional NK-specific recognition molecules.  相似文献

An experiment is described which shows in operation the program set out in Foster (1972a) for the investigation of the invariance transformations of visual recognition. The concern in the present study is with the Lie group of rotations SO(2), and a certain centrally located foveal Landolt ring. By presenting to the visual system this Landolt ring and a rotated image in rapid succession, one attempted to induce a specified rotation-type phi-motion. Two subjects were employed. Both reported the existence of the required type of phi-motion for rotations 0 of the Landolt ring about the visual axis with -2/72/7. By appealing to the basic Proposition 2 of Foster (1972 a), the conclusion is reached that the visual system appears capable of effecting upon a certain centrally located foveal annulus the local 1-parameter group of rotations about the visual axis 0, [–2/7,2/7].  相似文献

Summary Few clinical responses have occurred in preliminary studies using the cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or interferon (IFN) in cancer patients. This may be related to the observation that many malignant cell lines are resistant to lysis by these cytokinesin vitro. Resistance to lysis by TNF or IFN in many cells is controlled by a protein-synthesis-dependent mechanism, such that when protein synthesis is inhibited cells become sensitive to lysis by these cytokines. Because there is some evidence that TNF and IFN act through different lytic mechanisms and are opposed by different resistance mechanisms, we treated a panel of eight cell lines, five derived from human cervical carcinomas (ME-180, MS751, SiHa, HT-3, and C-33A) and three derived from ovarian carcinomas (Caov-3, SK-OV-3, and NIH: OVCAR-3) with both TNF and IFN to determine whether such combination treatment might maximizein vitro cell lysis. Our results showed that pretreatment with IFN followed by exposure to TNF in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors increased lysis of seven of the eight cell lines above that seen with either TNF or IFN and inhibitors of protein synthesis. Only the cell line C-33A was resistant to lysis by TNF and IFN, when exposed to these agents both alone and in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. Clinically, combining the cytokines TNF and IFN with protein synthesis inhibitors may maximize thein vivo lytic effects of these cytokines.Supported by American Cancer Society Career Development Award 90-221  相似文献

The expression of CMP-NeuAc: Gal1,4GlcNAc 2,6 sialyltransferase (2,6-ST) [EC 2.4.99.1] and glycoproteins bearing 2,6-linked sialic acids were examined in primary human brain tumours and cell lines. 79% (19/24) of the meningiomas expressed 2,6-ST mRNA, 42% (10/24) of which showed very high expression. 2,6-ST mRNA expression was undetectable in normal brain tissue. In contrast, only 1/13 of the gliomas examined expressed detectable 2,6-ST mRNA. Metastases to the brain did not express measurable amounts of 2,6-ST mRNA. Less expression was found in malignant (i.e., anaplastic) compared to benign (i.e. meningothelial) meningiomas. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE of glioma and meningioma proteins, followed bySambucus nigra lectin staining, revealed the presence of a glycoprotein bearing 2,6-linked sialic acids,M r=53 kDa and a pI=7.0 (MEN-1) that appeared in all seven of the meningiomas examined, but was expressed at barely detectable levels, if at all, in seven out of the seven glioblastomas examined. Thus, decreased 2,6-ST expression may play a role in the aggressive nature of anaplastic meningiomas, but appears to be virtually absent in all tumours of glial origin.  相似文献

Incubation of Chironomus salivary glands with -amanitine in concentrations from 1 to 10 /ml results in the suppression of puffing and chromosomal 3H-uridine incorporation after 30 to 60 min in 80% of the cells. Nucleolar 3H-uridine incorporation remains completely unaffected. Even 4 h after the injection of high doses of -amanitine into living larvae, nucleolar incorporation is still pronounced. The distribution of resistant cells within the salivary glands suggests that the uptake of -amanitine is subject to physiological restrictions.—A puff typically induced during in vitro incubation of salivary glands was found to be less sensitive to -amanitine than the Balbiani rings.  相似文献

We have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay that could effectively reduce the time period required to screen and select for Gall Midgeresistant rice lines under field conditions. The primers for the assay were designed on the basis of sequence information of two phenotype specific random amplified polymorphic DNA fragments which were found to be tightly linked to Gall Midge biotype-1 resistance gene (Gm2). The two RAPD fragments, F81700 in the susceptible parent ARC6650 and F10600 in the resistant parent Phalguna, were identified after screening 5450 loci using 520 random primers on genomic DNAs of ARC6650 and Phalguna. These primers, when used in a multiplexed PCR, amplified specifically a 1.7-kb and 0.6-kb fragment in the susceptible and resistant parents, respectively. When this assay was performed on genomic DNAs of 44 recombinant inbred lines derived from ARC6650 x Phalguna and 5 lines derived from other crosses where one of the parents was Phalguna, ARC6650 or their derivatives, the primers amplified a 1.7-kb fragment in all of the susceptible lines or a 0.6-kb fragment in all of the resistant ones. These markers can be of potential use in the marker-aided selection of Gall Midge biotype-1 resistant phenotypes. As screening for resistance can now be conducted independent of the availability of insects, the breeding of resistant varieties can be hastened.  相似文献

Summary A previous method of measuring the swelling pressure ( g ) of the cytoplasmic gel of the giant axon ofLoligo vulgaris was refined. The estimates of g made with the improved method were consistent with those made with the earlier method. In these methods the activity of the solvent in the gel is measured by increasing the activity of the solvent in the internal phase of the gel by application of hydrostatic pressure to the gel directly. Comparable values for the activity of the solvent in the gel were obtained also by an alternate method, in which the deswelling of the gel is measured upon decreasing the activity of the solvent in the external phase by addition of a nonpenetrating high mol wt polymer (i.e., Ficoll).Additional support was obtained for the earlier suggestion that g contributes to the swelling and shrinkage pattern of the whole axon. In part, the new evidence involved two consecutivedirect measurements of intraxonal pressure. The first measurement was that of a mixed pressure composed of g and m ( m being the effective osmotic pressure due to the intra-extraxonal gradient in the activity of mobile solutes). The subsequent measurement was that of g alone. The latter measurement was made feasible by destroying the axolemma, thereby eliminating the contribution of m . An estimate of m was obtained by subtracting g from the total pressure measured initially. The m determined by the above method was two orders of magnitude smaller than the theoretical osmotic pressure. This is consistent with the m determined previously, where osmotic intra-extraxonal filtration coefficients were compared to the hydrostatic. The mixed pressure experiments lend credence to the idea that the substantial contribution of g to the water relations of the whole axon is due to g being of the same order of magnitude as m .The degree of free swelling of axoplasmic gels was studied as a function of pH, salt concentration, and hydration radius of the anion of the salt used. The swelling increased with an increase in the reciprocal of the hydration radius, a decrease in salt concentration, and at pH below or above 4.5.The nature of the constraints to the free swelling of axoplasm in axons immersed in seawater was studied. With the seawater employed, these constraints appeared to be due more to the retractive forces of the sheath than to m .  相似文献

Summary Hordeum spontaneum C. Koch emend. Bacht. varieties have been both intercrossed and crossed with two cultivated barley varieties ofH. vulgare (L.) emend Vav. et Bacht. with a view of eliciting the nature of inheriting the spikelet-pedicel of the lateral spikelets and the shape of their apex in the said wildgrowing barley. The investigations of F1 and F2 showed the inheritance of the spikelet-pedicel to have a dominating nature and to segregate in F2 in conformity with the Mendelian monohybrid type. In the second case the forms with shorter awn-like formations, or their rudiments, were dominating.As a result ofH. spontaneum x H. vulgare hybridization along with already known forms, new formations were received, they have been conditionally named by the author:sessiliproskowetzii, proskowfertillum, ischnofertillum, and pallipodum.
Zusammenfassung Im Rahmen größerer Untersuchungen über die Abstammung und Phylogenie der Gerste wurden mehrere Varietäten vonHordeum spontaneum C. Koch emend. Bacht. sowohl untereinander als auch mit zwei Varietäten der Kulturgerste,H. vulgare (L.) emend. Vav. et Bacht., gekreuzt. Es sollte geklärt werden, wie bei den genannten Wildgersten das Stielchen (pedicel) der Seitenährchen sowie die Ausbildung des Apex der Seitenährchen (d. h. ihre Begrannung) vererbt werden. Die Untersuchung der F1 und F2 zeigte, daß das Stielchen (gegenüber ungestielten Seitenährchen) dominant und gemäß einer monohybriden Mendelspaltung vererbt wird. Bezüglich der Ausbildung des Apex der Seitenährchen ergab sich im allgemeinen Dominanz der kürzeren oder rudimentären Grannen gegenüber längeren Grannen.Im Ergebnis der Hybridisation zwischenH. spontaneum undH. vulgare wurden, neben bereits bekannten, verschiedene neue Formen gefunden, die vom Autor vorläufig wie folgt benannt werden:sessiliproskowetzii, proskowfertillum, ischnofertillum, pallipodum.Die Ergebnisse werden im Zusammenhang mit Fragen der Abstammung der Kulturgerste diskutiert.

The effect of interspecific competition and element additions (N and P) on four grassland species (Poa pratensis, Lolium perenne, Festuca valida, Taraxacum officinale) grown under field conditions was studied. Two grasses (L. perenne, F. valida) grown in monoculture (absence of competition) showed lower carbon isotope discrimination (13C) and enriched 15N values. Nitrogen addition (as urea) had inconsistent effects on species 13C while caused enrichment of 15N of P. pratensis and F. valida but strong depletion of 15N of T. officinale. Phosphorous had no significant effect on 13C but depleted 15N of all species.  相似文献

Wind illness is a very common complaint among the Northern Thai, yet is rarely recognized by Thai physicians trained in biomedicine. Persons most susceptible to wind illness are adult women who have ever borne a child. Consequently, data were obtained from 415 everparous women, 43% of whom reported ever having had wind illness and 57%, never having had it. In addition, 20 individuals who had ever had the syndrome were followed for case study, and 13 indigenous healers who traditionally treat clients suffering wind illness were interviewed. Their perceptions of the etiology, symptomatology and treatment of wind illness are reported in Part I. Part II is an attempt to define wind illness in terms of biomedicine and as a consequence of fertility. Part III synthesizes the emic and etic accounts with explanations for the perdurance of wind illness despite the advances of biomedicine and the recent fertility decline in Northern Thailand.  相似文献

In this paper we give an analytical reformulation of Holling's (1966) simulation model for invertebrate predatory behaviour. To this end we represent a population of predators as a frequency distribution over a space of (physiological) states. The functional response of a predator is calculated from the (stable) equilibrium distribution of its state as a function of prey density.Starting from the general model various other models are obtained by limit processes, some of them new and some of them old. The more interesting of which will be studied in further papers in this series.List of Notation a rate constant of digestion - b maximum of rate constant of prey encounter in the mantid - b maximum pursuit duration in the mantid (p(0)) - c satiation threshold for search - c satiation threshold for pursuit in the mantid: c=c(b-Ds/v)/b - D m maximum sighting distance - D p pursuit distance - D s strike distance - expectation operator - f, f 0 rate of change of satiation during search - f 1 rate of change of satiation during prey handling - F functional response: number of prey eaten per unit of time by one predator - g rate constant of effective prey encounter in the gobbler and sucker - g0 rate constant of prey encounter - g1 probability of no prey loss from pursuit - g2 probability of no prey escaping during pursuit - H Holling secretary correction factor in the sucker: fraction of the time spent searching - k R density of R - kT probability density of maximum prey handling time - K probability that maximum prey handling time is e, i.e. pursuit duration is zero - K R distribution function of R - N number of prey caught - p (marginal) density of S - p0 density of S in search - p1 simultaneous density of S and T - P probability - p 1 marginal density of S in handling prey - q probability of strike success - R ratio of realized to maximum sighting distance - s, S satiation - satiation axis - t time - handling time axis - u eating speed - U homogeneous(0,1) random variable - v pursuit speed - V exponential(1) random variable - w prey weight - W exponential(m) random variable - x prey density - ratio of maximum successful pursuit duration to meal duration (pm/e) - pm - relative duration of successful pursuit (p/pm) - ratio of shortest to largest sighting distance - xe - time already spent handling a prey item - rate of prey loss during prey handling - prey escape rate during pursuit - prey biomass density (xw) - , T maximum time still to be spent handling a prey item - e meal duration - m maximum handling time ( e+ p) - p duration of successful pursuit - pm maximum duration of successful pursuit (p(0)) - hazard rate - m maximum of hazard rate - scaled functional response (wF) - minimal i-state space  相似文献

The dynamics of coupled biological oscillators can be modeled by averaging the effects of coupling over each oscillatory cycle so that the coupling depends on the phase difference between the two oscillators and not on their specific states. Average phase difference theory claims that mode locking phenomena can be predicted by the average effects of the coupling influences. As a starting point for both empirical and theoretical investigations, Rand et al. (1988) have proposed d/dt= — K sin ), with phase-locked solutions =arcsin( /K), where is the difference between the uncoupled frequencies and K is the coupling strength. Phase-locking was evaluated in three experiments using an interlimb coordination paradigm in which a person oscillates hand-held pendulums. was controlled through length differences in the left and right pendulums. The coupled frequency c was varied by a metronome, and scaled to the eigenfrequency v of the coupled system K was assumed to vary inversely with c. The results indicate that: (1) and K contribute multiplicatively to (2) =0 or = regardless of K when =0; (3) 0 or regardless of when K is large (relative to ); (4) results (1) to (3) hold identically for both in phase and antiphase coordination. The results also indicate that the relevant frequency is c/v rather than c. Discussion high-lighted the significance of confirming =arcsin(/K) for more general treatments of phase-locking, such as circle map dynamics, and for the 11 phase-entrainment which characterizes biological movement systems.  相似文献

The effect of cycloheximide and puromycin on 20-hydroxyecdysone-induced protein synthesis in wing discs of Drosophila melanogaster has been studied by one-dimensional and two-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis. It is found that puromycin, but not cycloheximide, when applied simultaneously with the hormone enhanced the hormone-induced synthesis of the early and late proteins. However, when puromycin was applied after hormone treatment, only the late proteins were induced. The possible implication of these observations is discussed.  相似文献

We have analyzed the hemoglobins of five individual trout from the Ohrid Lake (Salmo L. typicus) by electrophoretic methods, by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and by limited structural analyses. The two major classes of hemoglobin are type I (35% of total) and type IV (65%). Type IV is the major oxygen-transporting hemoglobin; it consists of three types of chain (in about equal quantities) and three types of chain (one major and two minor types). Several structural differences have been observed between these three (IV) chains and between the three (IV) chains, suggesting a complex genetic system governing the synthesis of these proteins. Moreover, a few amino acid substitutions occur at positions involved in contacts between chains, which suggests that differences in oxygen affinity may exist between these various type IV hemoglobins. Type I hemoglobin is less complex because it contains one type of chain and two chains; the latter two differ in numerous positions, suggesting duplications of the (I)-globin gene. The and chains of type I hemoglobin differ considerably from the and chains of type IV hemoglobin, indicating the existence of (I)- and (I)-globin genes separate from the (IV)- and (IV)- globin genes.This study was supported in part by the Yugoslav-American Joint Funds, pp 812 (to G.D.E.), and by United States Public Health Service Research Grant HLB-05168 (to T.H.J.H.).  相似文献

The blood of two infants with Haemoglobin E trait and a form of -thalassaemia (Haemoglobin H Disease) was examined and it was confirmed that the proportion of Haemoglobin A:E was higher than in uncomplicated Haemoglobin E trait.Haemoglobin H ( 4 A ) was added to the haemoglobin solution from a Haemoglobin E trait carrier. This mixture was dissociated into its 2, 2 A and 2 E subunits, and these were then recombined. The proportion of A:E had risen to that found in vivo in Haemoglobin E trait carriers with Haemoglobin H Disease.It is suggested that competition between A and E for -chains may be an example of the mechanism by which -thalassaemia interacts with -chain abnormal haemoglobins.  相似文献

Summary Endopeptidase zymograms of the translocation line Indis revealed the presence of several major and minor bands that had differential expression in coleoptile and seed tissues. While Indis lacks Ep-D1a, which is present in the parental cultivar Inia 66, it also may not express any of the Th. distichum bands. The Indis zymogram was found to be identical to that of an isogenic line of Inia 66 possessing Lr19. Since the absence of an Ep-D1a product appears to be linked to the 7DL translocation, it is possible to use the null condition as a marker for both the Lr19 or Indis translocations. The Indis translocation also did not show recombination with the cn-D1 chlorophyl mutant on 7DL, confirming that a part of 7D was involved. The results of a telocentric mapping experiment involving the 7D telosomes indicated that in Indis a chromosome segment from Th. distichum replaced a large section of 7DL of Inia 66.  相似文献
