In 1997–99 the occurrence ofFusarium spp. on winter wheat and the contamination with mycotoxins was investigated at three locations in the Rhineland, Germany. All cultivation methods investigated had an effect on the level ofFusarium infection, however, rainfall during flowering was the most important factor. The choice of cultivar and soil cultivation proved to be the most promising tools to reduce head scab severity and mycotoxin contamination. 相似文献

Antibodies of human IgA isotype are critical components of the mucosal immune system, but little is known about their immunotherapeutic potential. Compared with IgG antibodies, IgA molecules carry a C-terminal tail piece extension of 18 amino acids with a free cysteine at position 471. This cysteine is required for the formation of dimeric IgA antibodies, but may impair molecular characteristics of monomeric IgA antibodies as therapeutic reagents. Thus, we generated and characterized a d471-mutated antibody against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and compared it to its respective IgA2 m(1) wild type antibody. Both wild type and mutated IgA antibodies demonstrated similar EGFR binding and were similarly efficient in inhibiting EGF binding and in blocking EGF-mediated cell proliferation. Recruitment of Fc-mediated effector functions like antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity by monocytes, macrophages or PMN was similar, but the d471-mutated IgA exhibited different biochemical properties compared with wild type antibody. As expected, mutated IgA did not form stable dimers in the presence of human joining (J)-chain, but we also observed reduced levels of dimeric aggregates in the absence of J-chain. Furthermore, glycoprofiling revealed different glycosylation patterns for both antibodies, including considerably less mannosylation of d471-mutated antibodies. Overall, our results demonstrate that the deletion of the C-terminal cysteine of IgA2 did not affect the investigated effector functions compared with wild type antibody, but it improved biochemical properties of an IgA2 m(1) antibody against EGFR, and may thereby assist in exploring the immunotherapeutic potential of recombinant IgA antibodies. 相似文献

Introduction
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible role of CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40LG) genes in the susceptibility and phenotype expression of systemic sclerosis (SSc).Methods
In total, 2,670 SSc patients and 3,245 healthy individuals from four European populations (Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, and Italy) were included in the study. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CD40 (rs1883832, rs4810485, rs1535045) and CD40LG (rs3092952, rs3092920) were genotyped by using a predesigned TaqMan allele-discrimination assay technology. Meta-analysis was assessed to determine whether an association exists between the genetic variants and SSc or its main clinical subtypes.Results
No evidence of association between CD40 and CD40LG genes variants and susceptibility to SSc was observed. Similarly, no significant statistical differences were observed when SSc patients were stratified by the clinical subtypes, the serologic features, and pulmonary fibrosis.Conclusions
Our results do not suggest an important role of CD40 and CD40LG gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to or clinical expression of SSc. 相似文献15.

Introduction
The limited availability of fossil fuel sources, worldwide rising energy demands and anticipated climate changes attributed to an increase of greenhouse gasses are important driving forces for finding alternative energy sources. One approach to meeting the increasing energy demands and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is by large-scale substitution of petrochemically derived transport fuels by the use of carbon dioxide-neutral biofuels, such as ethanol derived from lignocellulosic material. 相似文献16.

Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (gamma HV-68; also referred to as MHV-68) is a gammaherpesvirus which infects murid rodents. Previous studies showed that CD8 T cells are important for controlling gamma HV-68 replication during the first 2 weeks of infection and suggested a role for B cells in latent or persistent gamma HV-68 infection. To further define the importance of B cells and CD8 T cells during acute and chronic gamma HV-68 infection, we examined splenic infection in mice with null mutations in the transmembrane domain of the mu-heavy-chain constant region (MuMT; B-cell and antibody deficient) or in the beta2-microglobulin gene (beta2 -/-; CD8 deficient). Immunocompetent mice infected intraperitoneally with gamma HV-68 demonstrated peak splenic titers 9 to 10 days postinfection, cleared infectious virus 15 to 20 days postinfection, and harbored low levels of latent virus at 6 weeks postinfection. Beta2-/- mice showed peak splenic gamma HV-68 titers similar to those of normal mice but were unable to clear infectious virus completely from the spleen, demonstrating persistent infectious virus 6 weeks postinfection. These data indicate that CD8 T cells are important for clearing infectious gamma HV-68 from the spleen. Infected MuMT mice did not demonstrate detectable infectious gamma HV-68 in the spleen at any time after infection, indicating that mature B lymphocytes are necessary for acute splenic infection by gamma HV-68. Despite the lack of measurable acute infection, MuMT spleen cells harbored latent virus 6 weeks postinfection at a level about 100-fold higher than that in normal mice. These data demonstrate establishment of latency by a herpesvirus in an organ in the absence of acute viral replication in that organ. In addition, they demonstrate that gamma HV-68 can establish latency in a cell type other than mature B lymphocytes. 相似文献

Here we have used hybrid mouse IgG1-2a and IgG2a-2b mAb to demonstrate that the interaction between the human high-affinity IgG FcR (huFc gamma RI) and monomeric mouse IgG2a mAb requires only one of the mIgG2a H chains. Recently, we reported a method for the generation and isolation of hybrid hybridomas, producing hybrid mouse mAb. Using this method we have obtained hybrid mouse (m)IgG1-2a and mIgG2a-2b mAb reacting with either horseradish peroxidase or human IgA1 (monospecific mAb) or with both Ag (bispecific mAb). Using protein A- or Ag-affinity chromatography purified hybrid mAb, we demonstrate here the binding of monomeric hybrid mIgG1-2a and mIgG2a-2b mAb to huFc gamma R on U937 cells, whereas no binding could be observed to the K562 cell line. Monomeric mouse IgG2a mAb and human IgG1 were found to be capable of inhibiting the binding of these hybrid mIgG1-2a and mIgG2a-2b mAb in a manner similar to the way they inhibited binding of monomeric mIgG2a mAb to U937 cells; this is in contrast to our findings for mIgG1 and mIgG2b mAb which did not inhibit the binding of both hybrid mAb. In addition, the binding of the hybrid mIgG1-2a and mIgG2a-2b mAb could be blocked by mAb TB-3, which is known to block huFc gamma RI-mediated binding by the "Kurlander phenomenon" and not by the anti-Fc gamma RII mAb CIKM5 and IV.3. These results indicate that both types of monomeric hybrid mAb are bound by the huFc gamma RI. Scatchard plots of mIgG2a, hybrid mIgG1-2a, and mIgG2a-2b mAb binding revealed similar numbers of binding sites and similar affinity constants of huFc gamma RI for these mAb (0.9 to 3.6 x 10(8) M-1). These results suggest that huFc gamma RI, present on the U937 cell line, are capable of binding monomeric hybrid mIgG1-2a and mIgG2a-2b mAb, and that this interaction requires only one of the mIgG2a H chains. 相似文献

Distribution and conservation of mobile elements in the genus Drosophila 总被引:13,自引:1,他引:12
Essentially nothing is known of the origin, mode of transmission, and
evolution of mobile elements within the genus Drosophila. To better
understand the evolutionary history of these mobile elements, we examined
the distribution and conservation of homologues to the P, I, gypsy, copia,
and F elements in 34 Drosophila species from three subgenera. Probes
specific for each element were prepared from D. melanogaster and hybridized
to genomic DNA. Filters were washed under conditions of increasing
stringency to estimate the similarity between D. melanogaster sequences and
their homologues in other species. The I element homologues show the most
limited distribution of all elements tested, being restricted to the
melanogaster species group. The P elements are found in many members of the
subgenus Sophophora but, with the notable exception of D. nasuta, are not
found in the other two subgenera. Copia-, gypsy-, and F-element homologues
are widespread in the genus, but their similarity to the D. melanogaster
probe differs markedly between species. The distribution of copia and P
elements and the conservation of the gypsy and P elements is inconsistent
with a model that postulates a single ancient origin for each type of
element followed by mating-dependent transmission. The data can be
explained by horizontal transmission of mobile elements between
reproductively isolated species.
