Resistance of SKW6 cell to apoptosis induction with anti-Fas antibody upon transduction of a reverse fragment to a cDNA encoding human 6A8 α-mannosidase

The effect of transduction with a reverse fragment to a cDNA encoding human 6A8 α-mannosidase on apoptosis induction of human B cell line SKW6 by anti-Fas antibody was tested. Apoptosis-inducer of anti-Fas monoclonal antibody was used to induce apoptosis in SKW6 cells. Giemsa’s staining, Annexin-V-FLUOS staining and DNA ladder test were used to determine the events of apoptosis. Indirect immunofluorescent staining with anti-Fas antibody was performed to detect the surface Fas expression. In a time-course test of 12, 24 and 36 h for apoptosis induction by anti-Fas antibody, DNA ladder was observed in the wild-type SKW6 cells in a time-dependent fashion. Mock transduction had no effect on DNA ladder production. However, no DNA ladder was detected in the rAAV-antisense 6A8 cDNA-transduced SKW6. Results from Annexin-V-FLUOS staining on anti-Fas antibody-treated cells revealed that the staining-positive rate in the rAAV-antisense 6A8 cDNA-transduced SKW6 cells was decreased in comparison to that in the wild-type and the mock-transduced cells. Giemsa’s staining observation showed that the number of dying (with apoptotic bodies) and dead cells was reduced in the rAAV-antisense 6A8 cDNA-transduced SKW6 cells in comparison with that in the wild-type and the mock-transduced cells upon anti-Fas antibody induction. The transduction did not affect the expression of Fas molecular on cell surface. 100% cells in all the groups showed Fas expression. The SKW6 cells became resistant to apoptosis induction by anti-Fas antibody upon transduction with a reverse fragment to a cDNA encoding human 6A8 α-mannosidase. The transduction did not affect the expression of Fas molecule on cells.     

核盘菌多糖的理化性质

核盘菌多糖(SSG)是由核盘菌(Sclerotinia sclerotiorum)通过深层发酵产生的一种胞外多糖,具有潜在的免疫调节活力和明显的抑瘤作用。研究表明,SSG是一种由β-配糖键连接的葡聚糖。在水中溶解缓慢,但粘度较高,并具有良好的流变学性质。其特性粘度几乎不随离子强度的变化而改变,在pH1.88—12.26之间,[η]值变化不显著,但当pH值为13.32时,由于分子构象的变化导致[η]值急骤下降。温度≤90℃和热处理对SSG溶液的表观粘度影响不大。

Biophysical and biorheological studies on the precursor cells at different stages

Splenic erythroblasts were obtained from mice during the acute disease caused by anemia-inducing virus (FVA). They were cultured in a medium containing EPO, BSA and so on. We studied their biomechanical and hemorheological behavior after 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. The results showed obvious changes in their electrophoretic mobility, osmotic fragility, membrane fluidity and membrane viscoelastic properties with the development of erythroblast. The changes were associated with the interactions of the protein and lipid and the elements of the membrane.     

酚酸物质对黄瓜幼苗及枯萎病菌菌丝生长的影响

研究了不同连作年限大棚土壤中酚酸物质的种类、含量及其对黄瓜幼苗和枯萎病菌菌丝生长的影响。结果表明:土壤中香草酸、对羟基苯甲酸及阿魏酸随黄瓜连作年限增加而呈现积累趋势;在连作7年的大棚土壤中3种酚酸类物质总量达29.8mg.kg-1干土,显著高于连作1年和3年土壤中的含量;酚酸物质可使黄瓜幼苗根长及茎粗显著降低,使株高及干物质量略有下降。与对照相比,酚酸物质使黄瓜幼苗体内过氧化物酶(POD)活性在短期内升高,5d后又呈下降趋势;对超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响也表现出先升高后下降的变化趋势。高浓度酚酸使黄瓜幼苗丙二醛(MDA)含量持续升高。枯萎病菌菌丝生长测定表明:42h内,低浓度(≤50mg.L-1)酚酸对枯萎病菌丝生长有刺激作用;酚酸浓度高于50mg.L-1时,对菌丝生长有抑制作用;随酚酸处理时间延长,枯萎病菌对酚酸物质的耐受性增强,对高浓度酚酸的生长抑制作用表现不明显。     

八十年风雨路——北京大学生命科学学院（系）历史回顾

中国近代生物学的摇篮——北大生物学系初建北京大学的前身京师大学堂创立于1898年,京师大学堂于1912年改名为北京大学。1917年蔡元培出任北京大学校长以后,北京大学才逐渐发展成为一所现代的高等学府。1919年"五四"运动,北京大学在科学与民主的旗帜下,成为中国现代高等教育和中国现代科学的摇篮。我国自然科学的许多

保定市蝇种及季节分布初步调查

蝇类在世界各地的分布极为广泛,种类繁多,每年出现季节较长,与人群接触极为频繁,因而常为传染各病的媒介,在我国已往对蝇类的分布及其与传染病的关系,所作的调查研究并不太多。姚、袁等氏(1929)在北京调查结果,发现在多数蝇类的体内含有大肠杆菌,且自肠内分离出痢疾杆菌,以及结肠内阿米巴、赤痢内阿米巴包囊,及鞭毛虫,纤
