Transfer Agent of Immunity

Antibody formation in vitro was studied using erythrocytes (RBC) as antigen and immunocytoadhesion as the technique for detection of antibody-forming cells. Spleen cells (SPC) of nonimmune mice gained the ability to produce antibody after treatment with ribonucleic acid (RNA) preparation extracted from allogeneic mice immunized with xenogeneic or allogeneic RBC. It was also found that a small proportion of SPC from individual mice of certain strains formed antibody against autologous RBC when the cells were treated in vitro with RNA preparation obtained from the spleen of an allogeneic mouse immunized with RBC of that individual. No converting ability was observed in the RNA preparation from spleen of nonimmune autologous or allogeneic mice. The converting activity of immune RNA preparation was shown to be sensitive to ribonuclease treatment. These evidences exclude the possible contribution of antigen or fragments thereof in the RNA preparation to the induction of antibody formation in RNA recipient cells.     

Characterization of nano-clay reinforced phytagel-modified soy protein concentrate resin

Phytagel and nano-clay particles were used to improve the mechanical and thermal properties and moisture resistance of soy protein concentrate (SPC) resin successfully. SPC and Phytagel were mixed together to form a cross-linked structure. The Phytagel-modified SPC resin (PH-SPC) showed improved tensile strength, modulus, moisture resistance, and thermal stability as compared to the unmodified SPC resin. The incorporation of 40% Phytagel and 20% glycerol led to an overall 340% increase in the tensile strength (over 50 MPa) and approximately 360% increase in the Young's modulus (over 710 MPa) of the SPC resin. Nano-clay was uniformly dispersed into PH-SPC resin to further improve the properties. The PH-SPC (40% Phytagel) resin modified with 7% clay nanoparticles (CPH-SPC) had a modulus of 2.1 GPa and a strength of 72.5 MPa. The dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus together with the glass transition temperature of the modified resins were also increased by the addition of clay nanoparticles. The moisture resistance of the CPH-SPC resin was higher as compared to both SPC and PH-SPC resins. The thermal stability of the CPH-SPC resin was seen to be higher as compared to the unmodified SPC.     

Posttranslational Maturation of the Prohormone Convertase SPC3 In Vitro

Abstract: The subtilisin-like prohormone convertase SPC3 is likely to play a role in the biosynthesis of a variety of biologically active peptides. SPC3 undergoes a series of posttranslational processing events during its biosynthesis. Multiple forms have been identified that show varying degrees of truncation at the carboxyl terminus. In this study we show that the 86-kDa form of recombinant SPC3 with an intact carboxyl terminus can undergo rapid carboxyl-terminus truncation to produce a 64-kDa form. We have defined the optimal conditions for carboxyl-terminus truncation in vitro. The carboxyl-terminus truncation reaction was less calcium sensitive, active over a broader pH range, and showed differences in inhibitor sensitivity compared with the enzymatic activities of full-length and truncated forms of SPC3 toward a fluorescent peptide substrate. Increases in enzymatic activity of 86-kDa SPC3 were also measured over a time frame consistent with conversion to the 64-kDa form. However, similar specific activities for both forms of the enzyme suggest such activity increases may not be due to carboxyl-terminus truncation. The different enzymatic properties of the major molecular forms of SPC3 highlight the importance of understanding the molecular events regulating carboxyl-terminal processing of this endoprotease.     

Selection of antibiotic-resistant standard plate count bacteria during water treatment.

Standard plate count (SPC) bacteria were isolated from a drinking-water treatment facility and from the river supplying the facility. All isolates were identified and tested for their resistance to six antibiotics to determine if drug-resistant bacteria were selected for as a consequence of water treatment. Among the isolates surviving our test procedures, there was a significant selection (P less than 0.05) of gram-negative SPC organisms resistant to two or more of the test antibiotics. These bacteria were isolated from the flash mix tank, where chlorine, alum, and lime are added to the water. Streptomycin resistance in particular was more frequent in this population as compared with bacteria in the untreated river water (P less than 0.01). SPC bacteria from the clear well, which is a tank holding the finished drinking water at the treatment facility, were also more frequently antibiotic resistant than were the respective river water populations. When 15.8 and 18.2% of the river water bacteria were multiply antibiotic resistant, 57.1 and 43.5%, respectively, of the SPC bacteria in the clear well were multiply antibiotic resistant. Selection for bacteria exhibiting resistance to streptomycin was achieved by chlorinating river water in the laboratory. We concluded that the selective factors operating in the aquatic environment of a water treatment facility can act to increase the proportion of antibiotic-resistant members of the SPC bacterial population in treated drinking water.     

Further characterization of suppressor lymphocytes induced by fetal calf serum in murine lymphoid cell cultures: comparison with in vitro-generated cytotoxic lymphocytes.

Nonspecific suppressor cell (SPC) activity has been induced in vitro by preculturing splenocytes from normal mice in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS) for 3 days or more. In adoptive transfer experiments in vivo, these precultured SPC were shown to reduce the humoral response of mice to SRBC and the cell-mediated cytotoxic (CMC) response to allogeneic tumor cells. In mixing experiments in vitro, using freshly explanted splenocytes, the precultured splenocytes abrogated the generation of specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CL) in primary mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell cultures (MLTC). By contrast, secondary cytotoxic response was only marginally affected. Supernatants of precultured cells were also inhibitory, although to a lesser degree than whole cells. The induction of suppressive activity was abolished by addition of mitogenic amounts of concanavalin A to the preculturing medium.By the use of cell fractionation techniques it was found that both specific CL and nonspecific SPC lack an Fc receptor, do not adhere to nylon wool, and cannot be separated from each other by density sedimentation on a discontinuous BSA gradient. However, precursors of SPC and CL differed in their susceptibility to cyclophosphamide, hydrocortisone, and irradiation. The data presented does not exclude the possibility that suppressive activity exerted by FCS-induced SPC is mediated through a cytotoxic effect.     

Comparison of a new system (Compactdry SCD) with conventional methods for quantitative urine cultures

AIMS: Compactdry SCD, a new quantitative, ready-to-use and self-diffusible dry medium sheet urine culture system, was compared with conventional methods to evaluate the results of quantitative urine cultures. METHODS & RESULTS: Compactdry SCD was tested on 25 urine specimens, and results compared with those of traditional culture methods. The results from Compactdry SCD analysis correlated well with those from the standard plate count (SPC) method. In fact, the correlation was stronger than that dipslide systems and SPC. Even low-count bacteriuria (< 103 cfu ml(-1) and mixed bacteriuria were detected by Compactdry SCD. CONCLUSIONS: The Compactdry SCD system provides results comparable to those obtained by SPC: simple interpretation, ease of use, long-term storage and good sensitivity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report suggesting that the Compactdry SCD system has many advantages over traditional quantitative urine culture methods and that it is both appropriate and practical for clinical use.

拟澳洲赤眼蜂和短管赤眼蜂在米蛾卵上的种间竞争

By means of single and mixed inoculation, this paper studied the interspecific competition between T. confusum and T. pretiosum on the factitious eggs of Corcyra cephaloica under different parasitoid densities, host densities and inoculated spaces. The results showed that for both singly and mixed inoculated groups, the parasitism increased with parasitoid density but decreased with host density, whereas the percentage of female progeny dropped with parasitoid density but enhanced with host density. No significant effect was observed on adult emergence for all parasitoid and host density treatments. In mixed inoculated group, the proportion of T. pretiosum in the progeny decreased with parasitoid density but increased with host density, and was more than 50% in all treatments, indicating that T. pretiosum had a stronger competitive ability than T. confusum. In the spaces ranging from 4cm^3 to 102cm^3, the parasitism decreased gradually in both singly and mixed inoculated groups. The percentage of female progeny and adult emergence had no significant difference among different inoculated spaces. In mixed inoculated group, the proportion of T. pretiosum in the progeny was more than 50% in all treatments except space 102 cm3, but decreased with space, which suggested that T. confusum could improve their competitive ability through increasing their search areas and looking for more hosts.     

Mixed gels made from protein and κ-carrageenan

The rheological behavior of mixed gels made from soy or pea protein concentrates with the addition of κ-carrageenan was investigated using uniaxial compression and dynamic measurements. Pea protein concentrate (PPC) exhibited greater synergy with κ-carrageenan than soy protein concentrate (SPC) in relation to gel strength, gel stiffness and pH stability. A modified Takanayagi treatment of dynamic measurements indicated a shift in the continuous phase from protein to κ-carrageenan at concentrations of 4–8% κ-carrageenan in the total solids. This shift occurred at lower concentrations when PPC was used compared to SPC.
