Spatiotemporal distribution of 1P1 antigen expression in the plexiform layers of developing chick retina

Changes in the distribution of 1P1-antigen in the developing chick retina have been examined by indirect immunofiuorescence staining technique using the novel monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1P1. Expression of the 1P1 antigen was found to be regulated in radial as well as in tangential dimension of the retina, being preferentially or exclusively located in the inner and outer plexiform layers of the neural retina depending on the stages of development. With the onset of the formation of the inner plexiform layer 1P1 antigen becomes expressed in the retina. With progressing differentiation of the inner plexiform layer 1P1 immunofiuorescence revealed 2 subbands at E9 and 6 subbands at E18. At postnatal stages (after P3) immunoreactivity was reduced in an inside-outside sequence leading to the complete absence of the 1P1 antigen in adulthood. 1P1 antigen expression in the outer plexiform layer was also subject to developmental regulation. The spatio-temporal pattern of 1P1 antigen expression was correlated with the time course of histological differentiation of chick retina, namely the synapse rich plexiform layers. Whether the 1P1 antigen was functionally involved in dendrite extension and synapse formation was discussed.     

微核直径测试作为非整倍体诱发剂的分析手段

以小鼠骨髓红细胞微核直径测试,比较了秋水仙素（COL）与昆明山海棠（THH）、对苯二酚（HQ）在哺乳动物体细胞中的非整倍体诱发效应。丝裂霉素C（MMC）作为多功能染色体断裂剂引入实验,为诱发非整倍体的阴性对照。结果发现,COL组,71%的微核直径（d）大于或等于所在细胞直径（D）的五分之一（d≥D/5）;THH诱发微核中,54%的微核d≥D/5;HQ及MMC组,分别有47%及14%的微核相对直径达此阈值。暗示THH及HQ具有类似COL的某种非整倍体诱发效应。微核直径测试可作为非整倍体诱发剂检测的辅助手段。 The relative diameters of micronucleus induced by colchicines(COL),Triptergium hypoglaucum(Level)Hutch(THH)and hydroquinone(HQ)were compared to evaluate their aneugenic activities in mouse bone marrow erythrocytes.MitomycinC(MMC)was taken as the negative control in the experiment because it is a multifunctional clastogen without aneugenic potential.Diameters of the cytoplasm(D)and the micronucleus(d)of each micronucleated erythrocytes were measured with a micrometer in a microscope.The frequency of relatively large micronuclei(d≥D/5)was found(71%) in COL treated group.In the THH and HQ treated groups,the relatively large micronuclei were 54% and 47%,respectively.Such micronuclei were infrequent(14%)in the MMC treated group.The results implied that THH and HQ may possess some aneugenic potential like COL.     

利用早孕绒毛组织和PCR技术检测先天性人巨细胞病毒感染

人的巨细胞病毒(Human cytomegalovirus,HCMV)已成为引起宫内感染的重要原因。在新生儿中先天性HCMV的感染率为0.2-2.2％。为了建立一种可行的先天性HCMV感染产前诊断技术,我们利用早孕绒毛组织和聚合酶链反应(Polymerase chain reaction,PCR)技术对孕早期的先天性HCMV感染进行了研究。现简报如下:
