转基因猪染色体原位杂交外源生长激素基因定位

近些年来随着原位杂交技术的不断改进,该技术已广泛用于染色体的基因定位。非放射性标记探针的应用使基因定位变得更加简单易行,从而有可能对动物的转基因进行定位研究。本文首次采用胶体金标记药盒（Anti-digoxigenin-gold)和银加强试剂（Silver enhance-ment reagents)的非同位素原位杂交技术对转基因猪外基因进行了定位研究。如Fig.1所示：表达质粒pSMTPGH含有载体pUC19,羊启动子MT011和猪生长激素PGH基因。选5头带有pSMTPGH的转基因猪,分别制备含有染色体DNA的杂交膜。用BglII和Smai对pSMTPGH进行完全酶切,收集0．9kb片段作为探针,以dig-11-dUTP进行标记。探针与DNA杂交后,用光学显微镜检查。选择分散良好、显影银颗粒清楚的玻片进行摄影记录（Fig.2)。对染色体上的显影银颗粒进行统计分析,参照家猪的染色体标准带型,确定外源PGH基因整合位点。Fig.3为4104号转基因猪染色体上的银颗粒分布情况。对5头转基因猪外源PGH基因定位的结果见Table1。探针的合理设计是外源基因定位研究成功的关键。本实验所用探针必须地与外源PGH基因杂交,而不受内源PGH基因的影响。我们设计的探针符合这一要求。采用dig11－dUTP标记探针,抗体金显色,银加强试剂放大杂交信号,在光学显微镜下可以直接观察杂交位点处的显影银颗粒,但于对实验进行统计分析。估计数据表明：转基因猪的外源PGH基因随机整合在所有染色体上,但在13号染色体上的机率略高。

The detection of a transgenic soybean biochip using gold label silver stain technology

A method for the rapid detection of transgenic soybean crops based on a combination of gene chip and "gold label silver stain" (GLSS) technologies has been established. To ensure the specificity of this method, the CaMV35S promoter and Nos terminator were selected as probes because they are both exogenous genes that are specific to transgenic soybean plants. The addition of biotin-modified dUTPs to a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system can produce amplified nucleic acid segments containing biotin. These labeled PCR products then hybridize with specific probes on the chip and are subsequently bound by streptavidin-modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Due to the catalytic nature of the GNPs, silver staining can be used to visualize the hybridized probes, which appear as signals in varying shades of gray. The intensity value of the gray signals can be obtained using a general scanner. Silver staining for 10 min was determined to produce the optimal signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, this method was shown to be highly specific and had a detection sensitivity of 288.57 pg/μL.

High-resolution immunocytochemical labeling of replicas with ultrasmall gold.

The use of 10-15-nm gold probes in freeze-fracture immunocytochemistry sometimes results in poor immunogold labeling. Replica sites are labeled with only one or two gold particles, making it unlikely that the labeling depicts the true distribution of antigen. In this study, the feasibility of using ultrasmall ( approximately 1.4-nm) gold probes for immunocytochemical labeling of replicas was examined. When HLA Class I in neutrophil membrane replicas was labeled with various sized immunogold particles as the secondary detection system, the apparent distribution density was inversely related to the size of the particles (1.4-nm > 5-nm >10-nm >15-nm). Indeed, the density of the apparent distribution of HLA Class I labeled with 1.4-nm gold particles was about sevenfold greater than when labeling was carried out with the 10-nm gold particles. Similar results were obtained with CD16, another neutrophil membrane protein. Silver enhancement was required to visualize the 1.4-nm gold particles, but this procedure did not adversely affect replica membranes. These results suggest that, when followed by silver enhancement, 1.4-nm gold particles are effective probes for achieving high-resolution immunocytochemical labeling of replicas.(J Histochem Cytochem 47:569-573, 1999)     

The synthesis and processing of a nuclear RNA precursor to rat pregrowth hormone messenger RNA.

A recombinant DNA plasmid, pBR322-GH1, which contains about 80% of the sequences of rat pregrowth hormone (pGH) mRNA, allowed an analysis of nuclear RNA from GH3 cells for possible precursors of cytoplasmic pGH mRNA. A single 20-22S RNA SPECIES ABOUT 2-3 TIMes larger than pGH mRNA was detected in nuclear RNA from GH3 cells labeled for 5 min. with 3H-uridine. After longer label times a 12S RNA indistinguishable in size from cytoplasmic 12S pGH mRNA became the predominant labeled RNA complementary to the plasmid pBR322-GH1. Both of these nuclear RNA species contained poly (A). Kinetic analysis of the labeling of nuclear and cytoplasmic pGH mRNA sequences showed that the 20S and 12S nuclear RNA molecules were labeled before significant labeling of cytoplasmic pGH mRNA was detected, and also indicated that there is complete conservation of nuclear pGH mRNA sequences in the production of cytoplasmic pGH mRNA. These results indicate that cytoplasmic pGH mRNA is generated by nuclear processing of a larger nuclear RNA molecule.     

Direct visualization of single copy genes on banded metaphase chromosomes by nonisotopic in situ hybridization.

A rapid method is described for non isotopic in situ mapping of single copy genes directly on G-banded chromosomes by "one-step" regular light microscopy. It is based on hybridizing biotinylated probes to metaphase chromosomes. Biotin residues are detected by rabbit antibiotin antibody and anti-rabbit Ig labelled with peroxidase or colloidal gold. The peroxidase reaction product or colloidal gold signals are amplified by silver precipitation. The final product is a black silver dot at the gene locus on a purple G-banded chromosome. N-ras and alpha-1-antitrypsin genes have been mapped using plasmids with inserts of 1.5 and 1.3kb to 1p13.1 and the junction of 14q31/32 respectively. The signal to noise ratio in these experiments ranged from 32:1-46:1. This technology is at least as sensitive as radioisotopic in situ hybridization and gives results within 1 day of hybridization and has much better resolution. Additionally, genes are visualized by regular light microscopy without specialized techniques such as reflection contrast, fluorescence or phase microscopy. This methodology should facilitate more precise chromosomal gene localization.     

Silver enhancement of protein A-gold probes on resin-embedded ultrathin sections. An electron microscopic localization of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) antigens

A simple method is described allowing the enhancement of the visibility of small gold probes for the electron microscopy. This method, which allows the silver intensification of gold directly on epon-embedded ultrathin sections, was used for the electron microscopic localization of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) antigens in cultured cells derived from GR and BALB/cfRIII mouse mammary tumors. After the immunostaining with the preembedding protein A-gold technique, the ultrathin sections, placed on 200 mesh copper grids, were rehydrated and exposed to a photographic developer containing silver nitrate. During this physical development gold particles are incapsulated in growing shells of metallic silver, which gradually become more and more visible. We were able to obtain a heavy labelling of the viral particles, well visible even at low magnification, with a negligeable background staining. The present technique can be useful whenever it is necessary to use the smallest gold probes today available.     

Multiplex polymerase chain reaction/membrane hybridization assay for detection of genetically modified organisms

To improve detection efficiency and result accuracy, four screening primer pairs, four identifying primer pairs, one common primer pair and corresponding probes were designed for the development of multiplex polymerase chain reaction/membrane hybridization assay (MPCR-MHA) for detection of the foreign genes insert in genetically modified organisms (GMOs). After detecting condition and parameter were optimized and determined, MPCR reactions were developed for amplifying several target genes simultaneously in one tube. Primers were labeled with biotin at the 5'-end; biotinylated MPCR products were detected by hybridization to the oligonucleotide probes immobilized on a membrane with subsequent colorimetric detection to confirm hybridization. The testing of screening primers can judge whether the sample contains GMOs, and that of identifying primers can further judge what kinds of trait genes are contained in the sample. We detected nine soybean samples, six maize samples, seven potato samples and two rice samples by the MPCR-MHA method; at the same time we also detected them with single PCR-MHA method. The results between two methods have good consistency.
