We have used restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and DNA sequencing to characterize two distinct DRB1 alleles expressed on DRw52 and DQw7-associated haplotypes but not readily defined by conventional DR serology. These two haplotypes, designated HLA-D HAG and PEV, react variably with DRw13(w6), DRw14(w6), and the more broad DR 3+6 antisera. Analysis of RFLP revealed that HLA-D HAG and PEV are associated with different DRw52 variants, and that HAG is indistinguishable from DRw18(3) haplotypes. Sequencing of the HAG and PEV DRB1 genes showed each to represent novel alleles. Nevertheless, these sequences show similarities with the other alleles of the DR5, w6, and w8 family. HAG (DRB1*1303) appears to have arisen either from two recombinational events involving at least three DRB1 sequences (DRB1*1101, DRB1*0803, DRB1*0401) or from a single recombinational event together with multiple point mutational events. PEV appears to represent a DRB1*1301-1302/DRB1*1101 recombinant allele, with recombination having occured in the region of bases 175 – 198. The results of this study suggest that the DRw52 family haplotypes is derived from a relatively restricted number of ancestral sequences, with diversity among DRB1 alleles within this family arising through gene conversion or recombination events. 相似文献

A broad-host-range plasmid (pEA2-21) containing a Bradyrhizobium sp (F-4) nod DABC-lacZ translation fusion was constructed and used to monitor nod gene expression in response to pigeonpea root exudate. Two nod-inducing compounds were isolated and identified. Spectral analysis using ultraviolet absorption, infrared spectra, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry showed that the two inducers were 5,4-dihydroxy-6-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-2, 2-dimethyl pyrano-[5, 6:7, 8]-flavanone (cajaflavanone) and 2,4,5-trihydroxy-5-isopentenyl-6, 7-dimethylchromene iso-flavanone (cajanone). When pEA2-21 was introduced into Rhizobium trifolii and R. meliloti cajanone and cajaflavanone did not induce nod gene indicating that specificity of induction appears to be influenced by the host-strain genome. 相似文献

Growth and oxygen uptake of potato callus is faster in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere (70% oxygen, v/v; oxygen-callus) than in air (20% oxygen, v/v; air-callus). Especially the non-mitochondrial, so-called residual respiration is increased in oxygen-callus. The capacities of the mitochondrial respiratory pathways (cytochrome pathway, Vcyt and alternative pathway, Valt) are also higher in this callus. In both callus types only a small part of the alternative pathway capacity is used in uninhibited respiration. The lower oxygen uptake of air-callus at normal air oxygen pressures is partially due to diffusional impedance. Measurement of the respiratory parameters of air-callus in oxygen-saturated medium leads to higher values than measurement in air-saturated medium, although these values are still lower than those of oxygen-callus.ATP-production was calculated from the oxygen-uptake data and compared with the dry weight production of the callus to give values of 10.0 and 10.8 g dry weight produced.-mol ATP-1, for air-callus and oxygen-callus respectively. As no harmful side-effects are observed, cultivation of callus under elevated oxygen pressures may be useful, when rapid callus-growth is necessary.Abbreviations AA

Summary The seven possible primary trisomics of Petunia (2 n= 14) located in the progenies of triploid, hypertriploid and hypotriploid plants were distinguished from one another and from diploid on the basis of cytological and morphological criteria. They were provisionally named as Oval, Semi, Slender, Pseudonormal, Arrow, Narrow and Giant. In three of the trisomics, the extra chromosome was identified for the first time at pachytene stage. Postpachytene studies revealed no precise relationship between the length of extra chromosome and the frequency of multiple association. 相似文献

Summary Motor nerve terminals on white and intermediate muscle fibers of the Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa, L.) contain translucent synpatic vesicles and about 1–2% dense-core vesicles. Terminals on red muscle fibers contain up to 40% dense-core vesicles with diameter 800–1100 Å. Examinations for formaldehyde-induced fluorescence indicate yellow fluorescence (5-HT ?) apparently corresponding with terminal axons on red muscle fibers in craniovelar muscles. Possibly red muscle fibers of Myxine receive monoaminergic innervation.The author is indebted to Dr. Finn Walvig, Biological station, University of Oslo, Drøbak, for supply of hagfishes. 相似文献

Starting from the conceptual premises of Garrod, who as long ago as 1902 spoke of chemical individuality, and of Burnet (1949), who recognized as self one's own molecular antigenic structures (as opposed to the antigenic alien: the non- self), the discovery and understanding of HLA antigens and of their extraordinarily individual and differentiated polymorphisms have gained universal recognition. Transplant medicine has now dramatically stressed, within man's knowledge of himself, the characteristic of his biological uniqueness. Today man, having become aware of being a biological antigenic-molecular individuality which is unique and different from that of all of his fellow men (except for monozygotic twins), can therefore easily consider himself a true biological Ego.Abbreviations BMT

Zusammenfassung Es wird über Laboratoriums-Versuche mit 3 verschiedenen Typen von Bacillus thuringiensis-Präparaten an Honigbienen berichtet: (a) mit dem Sporen- Endotoxin-Komplex, (b) mit vegetativen Zellen und (c) mit von diesen produziertem wasserlöslichem thermostabilem Exotoxin. Während Sporen-Endotoxin-Präparate (geprüft an 5 Varietäten) in den für die Bekämpfung von Lepidopteren-Raupen benutzten Dosierungen ungefährlich sind, wirken hohe Dosen toxisch, wenn sie im Futtersaft adulten Bienen appliziert werden. Ein durch vegetative Zellen bedingter nachteiliger Einfluß auf Bienen wurde nicht beobachtet. Das Exotoxin welches von bestimmten Varietäten (z.B. var. thuringiensis) in die Kulturflüssigkeit abgegeben wird, wirkt auf Bienen giftig, wenn es im Futtersaft und als Konzentrat verfüttert wird.
Summary In laboratory trials the effects of three types of preparations of Bacillus thuringiensis were tested on adult honey bees (Apis mellifera L.): (a) the spore-endotoxin-complex, (b) vegetative cells, and (c) the exotoxin. Though spore-endotoxin-preparations (of 5 varieties) were harmless to bees in dosage used for biological control, higher dosages applied in sugar solution were toxic. By using a medium concentration of vegetative cells no disease symptoms could be observed on bees. But the water-soluble thermostable factor, the so-called exotoxin, which is produced by the vegetative cells of several varieties (for example var. thuringiensis), was toxic to bees after feeding. The consequences of these observations are discussed.相似文献

Residual toxicities of registered and selected experimental pesticides used on citrus against Agistemus industani Gonzalez (Acari: Stigmaeidae) were compared. Pesticides considered highly toxic to A. industani were: abamectin 0.15 EC at 731ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, pyridaben 75WP at 469g/ha, ethion 4EC at 7.01l/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, propargite 6.55 EC at 3.51l/ha, chlorfenapyr 2SC at 1.46l/ha applied alone or in combination with FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, sulphur 80DF at 16.81kg/ha, dicofol 4EC at 7.01l/ha, fenbutatin oxide 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 1.68kg/ha+ferbam 76 GF at 5.60kg/ha, ferbam 76GF at 11.21kg/ha, neem oil 90EC at 46.8l/ha, and copper hydroxide DF (40% metallic copper) at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha. Pesticides that were moderately to slightly toxic included: copper sulphate 98% at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, fenbuconazole 2F at 280ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil applied alone at 46.8l/ha or 23.4l/ha, and diflubenzuron 25WP at 1.40kg/ha. Pesticides that were non-toxic included: fenbuconazole 2F at 585ml/ha, malathion 57EC at 5.85l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, carbaryl 80S at 3.36kg/ha, chlorpyrifos 4EC at 4.68l/ha, and formetanate 92SP at 1.12kg/ha. Understanding the toxic effects of field weathered pesticides against key predacious mite species is important for effective IPM. The results of this study provide a comparison of direct and indirect toxic effects of various pesticides to A. industani under field conditions. 相似文献

Summary In a previous paper, two types of cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, namely cGMP dependent G-kinase and cAMP dependent A-kinase, in silkworm eggs has been reported (Takahashi et al. 1975; Takahashi 1976). One of these, G-kinase, has now been purified 2400-fold by means of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on hydroxylapatite, DEAE cellulose, and gel filtration.Some of the properties of the enzyme are described. The enzyme is highly dependent on cGMP; it is strongly inhibited by GTP in a noncompetitive manner not only for ATP but also for cGMP. GTP was found to be highly inhibitory on G-kinases from various tissues of the silkworm, but did not inhibit the A-kinase.Incubation of the egg extract with [-32P]ATP and Mg2+ led to the formation of three major32P-labelled proteins, with molecular weights of 42.000, 70.000 and 180.000 as analyzed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two of them corresponded to the subunits of vitellin.The silkworm vitellin was effectively phosphorylated both by the highly purified G-kinase and by the A-kinase. It is concluded that the G-kinase is involved in the phosphorylation of vitellin in developing silkworm eggs.Abbreviations

The psychological side effects of self-regulatory treatment (a combination of relaxation, thermal biofeedback, and cognitive therapy) for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were compared among 20 successfully treated patients, 12 unsuccessfully treated patients, and 9 patients who merely monitored symptoms for 12 weeks. Pretreatment and posttreatment scores on the Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Psychosomatic Symptom Checklist were examined. Successfully treated patients had significant (p<.01) reductions on all measures and significantly greater reductions on depression and state anxiety than the symptom monitoring group. Interestingly, the failures also showed a significant (p=.027) reduction in trait anxiety and no significant increases on other measures. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Kegel und Säulen der Schwanen-Eischale hinterlassen am Querschliff nach Entkalkung mit EDTA organisches (mucoproteides) Material als ein zusammenhängendes Gerüst, das sich mit Thionin metachromatisch färbt; ohne Demineralisierung oder wenigstens Anätzung bleibt Thionin an Schliffen und Bruchkanten der Schale wirkungslos. Das Lichtmikroskop zeigt an Schliffen nichts von dem organischen Material, es wurde während des Kristallwachstums fein zerteilt in Gitterlücken des Schalencalcits eingeschlossen. Es findet sich am stärksten angehäuft an den äueren und inneren Oberflächen der Kristall-individuen. In den Kegeln ist das Gerüst radial ausgebildet als die Loculi der Keile, und konzentrisch geschichtet, entsprechend den Lagen der Globularinklusionen, um deren jede herum Verdichtung der organischen Substanz statthat. In den inneren Säulen folgt das organische Gerüst dem Rhombenmuster; die äueren Säulen sind arm an organischer Substanz, hier verbleibt nach der Entkalkung eine dünne laterale Oberflächenschicht.
Summary The cones and columns of the swans egg shell leave behind after decalcification with EDTA an organic (mucoproteid) material in form of a continuous frame work stainable metachromatically with thionine. Without demineralisation or at least etching, thionine proves ineffectual in ground sections or breaking edges of the shell. In ground sections the light microscope demonstrates nothing of the organic material: it was inclosed during the crystal growth in submicroscopical lattice gaps of the calcite individuals. The organic material is chiefly accumulated in the outer and inner surfaces of the crystals. In the cones the organic frame work is developed radially as the loculi of the wedges and concentrically layered corresponding with the globular inclusions, concentrated in the circumference of each. In the inner columns the organic material follows to the rhomb pattern. The outer columns after decalcification only leave behind a thin lateral organic sheath.相似文献

Summary The temporal muscles of the guinea pig show a sexual differentiation reflected in their histochemical enzyme pattern. Using histochemical methods for mitochondrial (SDH, -GPDH), and glycolytic enzymes (phosphorylase, LDH) it could be shown, that in adult animals the male muscle is a white muscle with marked activity of glycolytic enzymes, the female muscle a red muscle displaying high activity of mitochondrial enzymes. This differential enzyme pattern can be converted by the application of testosterone to the female type during the postnatal development. The male sex hormone thus affects the histochemical enzyme pattern of the muscle, converting the red, female into a white, male muscle in the female guinea pig. 相似文献

The presence of active mitochondria and oxidative metabolism is shown to be essential to maintain low inhibition levels by ethanol of the growth rate (), fermentation rate (v) or respiration rate () of Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild type strain S288C. Cells which have respiratory metabolism show K
i (ethanol inhibition constant) values for , v and , higher (K
i>1 M) than those of petite mutants or grande strains grown in anaerobiosis (K
i=0.7 M). In addition, the relationship between or v and ethanol concentration is linear in cells with respiratory metabolism and exponential in cells lacking respiration. When functional mitochondria are transferred to petite mutants, the resulting strain shows K
i values similar to those of the grande strain and the inhibition of and v by increasing ethanol concentrations becomes linear. 相似文献

Summary Using techniques for enhanced microtubular preservation, including albumin pretreatment (Gray, 1975), occipital cortex of rats was studied electron microscopically at various ages of development. A close structural relationship was seen between microtubules, sacs of SER and the postsynaptic thickening in primordial spines and with the dense plate material of spine apparatuses. Stereoscopic preparations in addition show a more complicated substructure than previously described for the plate. Microtubules may contribute to the formation of the plate of the spine apparatus which in turn is associated with the postsynaptic thickening of the mature spine. Possible functional correlates are discussed.Dr. L.E.

Myelin from adult rat brains was separated on a discontinuous sucrose gradient into three subfractions. Analysis of light, heavy and membrane fraction lipid classes was performed by HPTLC and densitometry while fatty acid composition was determinated by GLC. The more interesting results observed are: i) the membrane fraction resembles in its lipid and fatty acid composition other cell membranes (particulary oligodentrocytes); ii) light and heavy myelin are quite similar between them but the former has a higher content of sphingomyelin, a lower hydroxy/nohhydroxy cerebrosides ratio and a lower content of monoenoic fatty acids than the heavy subfraction. The results obtained could explain the different structures observed in each myelin subfraction since fatty acid composition, hydroxy fatty acids, sphingomyelin and cholesterol play a key role in the stability and structure of membranes. 相似文献

Summary
Phytophthora infestans has three kinds of somatic nuclei: an oval shaped nucleus (approx. 3.1×2.7 ) which stains diffusely except for a crescent shaped Feulgen positive cap which stains intensely; a granular nucleus whose contents are organized into a fairly constant number of stained bodies, and, a deeply staining condensed nucleus. The capped nucleus is thought to be metabolic or resting and the granular nucleus is thought to be dividing as it is most commonly found in hyphal tips. Attenuated forms of all three kinds of nuclei are found.Nuclear division is mitotic and intranuclear. Eight—ten chromosomes are seen at metaphase.Sporangia have a mean of 6.3 nuclei which is constant for age and strain of culture. Sporangia become multinucleate as a result of nuclear migration and not by division in the developing sporangium. Zoospores are usually uninucleate.The nuclear cap is persistent throughout nuclear division when it also divides. It is associated with flagella production and nuclear migration and has some of the properties of a blepharoplast. 相似文献

Reduced and oxidized glutathione contents of adult rat hepatocytes in pure culture and in co-culture with rat epithelial cells were measured under various medium conditions. To the standard medium fetal calf serum, nicotinamide, H2SeO3, dimethylsulphoxide or no supplements were added. For freshly isolated hepatocytes, intracellular contents of 24 ± 7 nmol reduced and 0.7 ± 0.2 nmol oxidized glutathione/mg cellular protein were obtained, respectively. In pure culture as well as in co-culture and regardless of th medium conditions involved, the protein content stays constant during the culture time with the exception of a decrease in protein content after 6 days of pure culture, caused by deterioration and loss of the hepatocytes. In both culture systems, an initial increase in intracellular reduced glutathione levels was observed, followed by a decrease and a quick normalisation in co-culture. On the contrary, in pure culture, the decrease was slower, but not transient and a stabilized situation was never reached. The various supplementations of the culture media had no significant effect on the intracellular reduced glutathione contents of both culture systems. As far as the intra- and the extracellular oxidized glutathione contents and the extracellular reduced form are concerned, these were only present in small amounts.Abbreviations BSA

A novel approach was used to compare male and female recombination rates in wheat. Doubled haploid lines were developed from an F1 using two distinct approaches: the anther-culture technique and the Hordeum bulbosum system, from which sets of lines were developed from male and female meioses, respectively. The genotype of the lines was established at RFLP and isozyme markers polymorphic on chromosomes of homoeologous groups 6 and 7, and male and female linkage maps were calculated using this information. The markers in one segment of chromosome 6B exhibited disturbed segregation frequencies in the anther-culture population. The male and female maps differed significantly in recombination frequency between some markers on two chromosomes, and these were consistent in direction within chromosomes and inconsistent in direction between chromosomes. In two of the four chromosomes studied the male map was much longer than the female map. These results suggest that significant differences may exist in male and female recombination frequencies in bread wheat which are specific to certain chromosomal segments but are inconsistent in direction between chromosomes. Other factors, such as environmental influences, may also be important in creating differences. 相似文献

Summary A simple system was developed to investigate the deposition of lignin and synthesis occurring in response to mechanical wounding in the woody angiospermEucalyptus gunnii Hook. The spatiotemporal deposition of these phenolic polymers was histochemically characterized in stem tissue through a combination of fluorescent microscopy and specific stains. Lignin and suberin deposition was detectable 24 h post wounding in the xylem wound zone and by 3 days post wounding in the bark wound zone where a welldeveloped necrophylactic (wound) periderm could be observed by 7 days post wounding. Close examination suggests that the spatial reinforcement of cell walls with lignin and/or suberin is carefully orchestrated so as to rapidly produce an effective protective barrier. Specific lignin colour reactions indicate that the lignin formed in response to wounding in both the bark and xylem wound zones is relatively poor in syringyl monomers as compared to that of developmental xylem lignin.Abbreviations P-HCl
