Using a non-radioisotopic, quantitative TRAP-based method detecting telomerase activities in human hepatoma cells

INTRODUCTIONTelomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that plays a critical role in telomeremaintenance and cellular immortality. Telomerase has been considered as tumordiagnostic marker and potential target for cancer therapyll, 2]. A sensitive, reliableand quantitative assay is of high interest in this field. The development of a very sensitive Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) for measuring telomerajseactivity in cell extracts has been proved to be an important tool for…

核酶在大肠杆菌内对烟草花叶病毒靶RNA的切割作用

把一段取自TMV RNA的靶cDNA序列连接在一个体内表达转录载体内的报道基因CAT起译密码子ATG的下游组成了读码框不改变的CAT融合基因,通过测定载体在大肠杆菌内表达的CAT活力变化,观察了与CAT同时表达的核酶在体内对靶序列的作用。当专一核酶RZ1、RZ1A或RZ1表达时,CAT的酶活力下降了30%,但非专一核酶RZ3的表达并不改变CAT活力。凝胶电泳和引物延伸结果表明CAT活力的下降是由于这些核酶对融合CAT mRNA在5’靶序列区发生了专一切割从而影响了蛋白的合成所致。     

龟板炮制前后氨基酸的分析

<正> 龟板系龟科动物鸟龟(Chinemgs ree-vsii)的腹甲,为传统滋补中药,具有滋阴潜阳,益肾强骨,养心补血的功效,主要有效成分为多种氨基酸。龟板一般按药典规定的方法经炮制后作为药用。有关氨基酸的系统分析,国内外尚未见报导。为了探讨龟板的内在质量、同时比较其炮制前后氨基酸含量的变化,我们对龟板中所含游离氨基酸及其水解后的氨基酸进行了分析研究。分析结果表明,炮制前的样品中含有I7种游离氨基酸,炮制后则只含有15种游离氨基酸,且前者含量明显高于后者;龟板炮制前后的样品经盐酸水鲜后均测得17种氨基酸,且前者含

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies of Shrimp White Spot Syndrome Virus Envelope Protein VP28

BALB/c mice were immunized with purified White spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Six monoclonal antibody cell lines were selected by ELISA with VP28 protein expressed in E. coli. in vitro neutralization experiments showed that 4 of them could inhibit the virus infection in crayfish. Western-blot suggested that all these monoclonal antibodies were against the conformational structure of VP28. The monoclonal antibody 7B4 was labeled with colloidal gold particles and used to locate the VP28 on virus envelope by immunogold labeling. These monoclonal antibodies could be used to develop immun-ological diagnosis methods for WSSV infection.     

斜纹夜蛾的初步研究

斜纹夜蛾Prodenia litura是我国重要害虫之一,以往很少发生,1958年全国范围内大发生,以长江流域和黄河流域各省发生的密度最大(束炎南,1959)。福建省自1956年后,曾三次大发生,仅1960年福州市郊被害的蔬菜即达三万余亩,南平和厦门两市的郊区也有数千亩遭到不同程度的为害,严重地影响了城市的蔬菜供应。 笔者针对上述情况,自1958—1960年,以福州市郊蔬菜区和福建农学院农场为基地,进行了斜纹夜蛾田间发生规律的观察调查,结合室内饲养,三年来获得一些结果,现整理报导如下。 一、寄主植物及为害情况 斜纹夜蛾的食性很杂,在室内饲养的情况下,能食害99料200多种植物(章士美等,1959);在福建省的自然条件下,天然寄主有20科48种。其中以旋花科的空心菜(Ipomoca aquatica Forsk.)、甘薯(Ipomocabatatas Lam.)和天南星料的芋头(Colocasia esculenta(L.)Schott.)为主,其次是十字花料的甘蓝(Brassicaoleracea L.var.Capitata L.)和禾本科的水稻、小麦。 斜纹夜蛾幼虫主要取食寄生的叶片,间或为害幼茎、花或果实等。在虫口密度小的情况下,仅取食寄主的叶片成缺刻;大发生时,能把叶片吃光,或咬断叶柄,仅剩茎杆。1960年7、8月间,福州市郊有数千亩空心菜,叶片被食殆尽,几乎无收。为害大白菜或甘蓝时,
