白介素19(IL-19)

白介素-10(IL-10)是一种具有重要免疫调节功能的多效性细胞因子,它能影响免疫系统中多种类型细胞的活性。新近,美英科学家克隆了一种独特的人mRNA,它编码名为白介素19(Interleukin-19,IL-19)的新型IL-10同源物。IL-19基因邻近IL-10基因,都位于1号染色体上。IL-19基因由5个外显子和4个内含子组成,由二种不同的启动子转录。IL-19与IL-10有21％aa同源。IL-19mRNA是在活化的巨噬细胞中发现的,其表达相似而又不同于IL-10。IL-19与IL-10的序列比较表明两者不可能共享一种受体。IL-19的鉴定增加了已鉴定的IL-10同源物数并证明了IL-10相关蛋白家族的存在。在活化的巨噬细胞中,IL-19的表达模式不同于IL-10,并且可能通过不同于典型的IL-10受体复合物的不同受体进行信号转导。 [黄仕和译自Gallgaher G et al．Immunol Letters,2000,73(2,3)：206]     

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.
