水牛CD14 cDNA的克隆、表达及鉴定

目的:克隆水牛白细胞分化抗原14(buffalo cluster of differentiation antigen14,bCD14)基因,表达bCD14蛋白,并进行Western Blot鉴定.方法:采用RT-PCR方法从水牛外周血白细胞中扩增bCD14基因,构建重组质粒pET28a-bCD14,转化入E coli BL21,IPTG诱导表达,对表达蛋白进行可溶性分析及Western blot鉴定.结果:bCD14基因含有一个1 122bp的开放阅读框,编码373个氨基酸;与印度水牛、挪威大鼠和人CD14的cDNA序列同源性分别为97.95%、68.78%、78.60%,氨基酸同源性分别为96.78%、61.27%、72.34%;主要以包涵体形式表达,表达蛋白经Western Blot鉴定,得到了一条约46 kD的特异性条带.结论:该文成功克隆了bCD14基因,表达了bCD14蛋白,为进一步揭示水牛抵抗革兰氏阴性菌感染的免疫机制奠定了基础.     

HABITAT AND DIET OF EARLY STAGES OF SEPIA OFFICINALIS L. (CEPHALOPODA) IN MORBIHAN BAY, FRANCE

The nursery grounds of Sepia officinalis were identified inthe Gulf of Morbihan, on the Atlantic coast of France, and theirabiotic and biotic features described. From the measurementof the young cuttlefish captured, their growth and developmentcould be followed through a period of five months. Analysisof the stomach contents of the cuttlefish and identificationof the prey consumed gave a measure of their feeding activityand diet. The young animals were concentrated in the two parts(East and West) of Morbihan Bay. These were distinguished bydifferent sediments (sandy-mud in the East and sand with shell-debrisin the West) and by water temperature (higher in the East whichallow a greater growth of the young cuttlefish). These sitesare rich in crustaceans Amphipoda, Brachyura and Macrura whichcompose the diet of young cuttlefish. Fish (Gobiidae and Syngnathidae)appear in the diet from August. The feeding activity of thecuttlefish (given by the repletion quotient) increased fromJune to August reaching about 80% in both parts of the Bay.It decreased to nearly 50% in September and October.

NO对鲫鱼视网膜视杆和视锥信号传递的不同作用

在离体、灌流的鲫鱼视网膜上,考察了一氧化氮(NO)对视网膜电图(ERG)和水平细胞的作用.NO的供体硝普钠(SNP)压抑暗视ERGb波,却增大明视b波,这些作用均可为血红蛋白所阻遏.进而,SNP使视杆水平细胞对光反应减小,而增强L型视锥水平细胞的对光反应.这些结果表明,NO在外视网膜可压抑视杆系统的活动而增强视锥系统的活动.此外,可溶性鸟苷酸环化酶的抑制剂亚甲基蓝对视杆、视锥水平细胞的作用恰与SNP作用相反,这提示NO的作用可能由cGMP所介导.对NO的作用位点提出了工作假设.
