A novel competitive immunosensor was developed as a model system using anti-human serum albumin (HSA)-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as an electrochemical label and mobile crystalline material-41 (MCM-41)–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mesoporous nanocomposite as an immobilization platform. However, no attempt has yet been made to use the MCM-41 as the supporting electrolyte for the electrosynthesis of nonconducting polymer nanocomposite. This hybrid membrane was evaluated extensively by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) to determine its physicochemical and electrochemical properties in immunosensor application. FESEM revealed an appropriate and stable attachment between HSA and MCM-41 and also a dense layer deposition of MCM-41–HSA–PVA film onto the electrode surfaces. DPV was developed for quantitative determination of antigen in biological samples. A decrease in DPV responses was observed with increasing concentrations of HSA in standard and real samples. In optimal conditions, this immunosensor based on MCM-41–PVA nanocomposite film could detect HSA in a high linear range (0.5–200 μg ml?1) with a low detection limit of 1 ng ml?1. The proposed method showed acceptable reproducibility, stability, and reliability and could also be applied to detect the other antigens. 相似文献

Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) recognize CD1d/glycolipid complexes. We demonstrate that the nonglycosidic compound threitolceramide efficiently activates iNKT cells, resulting in dendritic cell (DC) maturation and the priming of Ag-specific T and B cells. Threitolceramide-pulsed DCs are more resistant to iNKT cell-dependent lysis than alpha-galactosylceramide-pulsed DCs due to the weaker affinity of the human iNKT TCR for CD1d/ threitolceramide than CD1d/alpha-galactosylceramide complexes. iNKT cells stimulated with threitolceramide also recover more quickly from activation-induced anergy. Kinetic and functional experiments showed that shortening or lengthening the threitol moiety by one hydroxymethylene group modulates ligand recognition, as human and murine iNKT cells recognize glycerolceramide and arabinitolceramide differentially. Our data broaden the range of potential iNKT cell agonists. The ability of these compounds to assist the priming of Ag-specific immune responses while minimizing iNKT cell-dependent DC lysis makes them attractive adjuvants for vaccination strategies. 相似文献

Mauritius, a small island some 855 km off the east coast of Madagascar, has a multiethnic population of about 1.2 million with a high population density of about 611 per km(2). The recent industrialization of the island seems to have been accompanied, in less than 10 years, by an increase of at least 30% in breast cancer incidence. We have detected the BRCA2 6503delTT mutation in two sisters of the same family of Indian origin but living in Mauritius for at least five generations. This mutation has been found to recur in geographically diverse populations and haplotype analysis has shown a common ancestry. The haplotype of the mutation found in the Mauritian family differs from that found in other populations harbouring the same mutation, suggesting that the BRCA2 6503delTT mutation most likely arose independently. 相似文献

The BRCA2 8765delAG mutation was previously reported in hereditary breast cancer families of French Canadian and Yemenite Jewish descent. Haplotype analysis, using six microsatellite markers that span BRCA2 and two intragenic polymorphisms, was performed on 8765delAG mutation carriers to determine if there was evidence that the mutations were identical by descent. The alleles of the microsatellite markers most closely flanking BRCA2 (D13S1697 and D13S1701) were found to be identical in state in all the mutation carriers. However, the disease-associated allele of one of the intragenic markers differed between the Yemenite Jews and French Canadian families, indicating that the 8765delAG mutation has independent origins in these two geographically and ethnically distinct populations. 相似文献

Signal peptides (SP) are short peptides located in the N-terminal of proteins, carrying information for protein secretion. They are ubiquitous to all prokaryotes and eukaryotes. SPs have been of special interest in several scientific and industrial fields, including recombinant protein production, disease diagnosis, immunization, and laboratory techniques. Recently, the role of SPs in recombinant protein production has gained too much attention. Herein, several studies have been reviewed to elucidate the precise structure and function of SPs, particularly the optimized ones for recombinant protein production. However, some features of SPs still have remained obscure. In this review, some approaches concerning elucidation and optimization of SPs are discussed, and pragmatic conclusions and suggestions for future studies are also proposed. Moreover, a summary of secretory pathways, evolutionary changes, functions, applications, and different types of SPs is mentioned. At last, current limitations and prospects are discussed. 相似文献

Schizophyllan (SPG) is a commercially attractive biopolymer produced by Schizophyllum commune. An investigation on the potential for SPG production by Iranian native S. commune was conducted based on culture medium, fermentation conditions and bioreactor type, . Nine native fungal strains were isolated from the northern forest of Iran at different times. Based on growth rate and SPG production, one strain was selected for further study. Optimal medium composition and inoculum size for maximizing SPG production and minimizing biomass were determined using central composite design by setting sucrose, yeast extract, inoculum size, carboxymethyl cellulose and oleic acid in the ranges of 50–200 g/L, 1–4 g/L, 2–10%, 2–12 g/L and 0.032–0.222%, respectively. The results showed that optimal results were obtained at 93.47 g/L sucrose, 1.87 g/L yeast extract, 7.68% inoculum size, 9.07 g/L carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.13% oleic acid, with maximum SPG production of 9.97 g/L and minimum biomass of 35.18 g/L. Under these optimal conditions, the production of SPG was studied in stirred tank and bubble column bioreactors. The results revealed greater production in the stirred tank because of better mixing of the culture medium. The SPG produced was characterized using rheometery, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance), scanning electron microscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The results of these characterizations demonstrated the similarity of the SPG produced by S. commune IBRC-M 30213 to commercial SPG. Thus, the SPG produced shows good potential as a polysaccharide for use in various industries. 相似文献

The lethal and sublethal effects of the insecticides chlorpyriphos and fenpropathrine, which are overused in tomato production, were evaluated on the larval, pupal and adult stages of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor in the laboratory. Dose-response bioassays were carried out on immature and adult stages by using dipping and contact residue methods, respectively. The LC50 of chlorpyriphos varied from 40 to 2000 times less than the recommended field rate and 10–100 times less for fenpropathrine treatments on the different life-history stages. To assess the sublethal effects, all life-history stages were exposed to LC25 equivalent concentration of each insecticide and the demographic parameters of surviving parasitoids were studied. In LC25 tests on adult stage, mean longevity and fecundity showed significant differences between chlorpyriphos (15.93?±?1.37 d and 128.20?±?20.20 eggs) and fenpropathrine (12.76?±?0.78 d and 124.00?±?12.27 eggs) as compared with the control (20.41?±?0.72 d and 281.00?±?12.95 eggs). In addition, net reproductive rate and intrinsic rate of increase indicated significant differences between chlorpyriphos (22.89?±?6.43 and 0.19?±?0.02) and fenpropathrine (14.44?±?3.58 and 0.17?±?0.02) as compared with the control (55.55?±?12.54 and 0.24?±?0.02). Briefly, we can conclude that both insecticides had negative effects on H. hebetor. However, the negative effect of fenpropathrine on rm was higher than that of chlorpyriphos. In conclusion, field studies are recommended to determine the total effects of these insecticides on H. hebetor. 相似文献

One of the criteria for selecting a suitable natural enemy is its functional response to different densities of the host. Habrobracon hebetor (Say) is a larval ectoparasitoid of several species of lepidopteran. Functional response of H. hebetor, after treatment with LC25 of chlorpyrifos and fenpropathrin in three stages, was assessed to different densities of fifth instar of Ephestia kuehniella (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64). LC25 values were estimated to be 0.043, 5.36 and 2.00 and 0.38, 13.9 and 4.45?mg a.i. l?1 for the larval, pupal and adult stages for chlorpyrifos and fenpropathrin, respectively. Host densities were offered to treated wasps for 24?h. Experiments were replicated 10 times. The results showed that the functional responses of wasps in control as well as immature stages treatments were Type III, whereas those of adult stage were Type II. a (Type II) or b (Type III) and Th parameters were evaluated with Roger’s equation. b and Th in control were assessed to be 0.0129 and 0.1723?h, respectively. These parameters were estimated in chlorpyrifos and fenpropathrin to be 0.0052, 0.00718 and 0.1945, 0.2492?h in larval stage; 0.00817, 0.00916 and 0.2736, 0.3108?h in pupal stage; and a and Th were 0.0064, 0.0137?h?1 and 0.2492, 0.2242?h in the adult stage, respectively. The insecticide had no significant effect on the searching efficiency of H. hebetor compared with those treated in control; however, they had significant effect on the handling time of the parasitoid and increased it, except in the larval stage treated with chlorpyrifos treatment. 相似文献

Mood changes during the premenstrual phase have been the focus of considerable research in recent years. Although there has been significant progress in the diagnosis and etiology of major affective disorders, the relation between these disorders and menstrual changes remains controversial. There have been contradictory reports and speculations on women''s susceptibility to psychiatric disorders during the premenstrual phase. We describe three patients with a history of mood swings associated with menstruation in whom major affective disorders developed, necessitating intensive psychiatric treatment or admission to hospital. Among women who manifest menstrual mood changes, manic-depressive illness may develop only in a subgroup with genetic predisposition. In such cases the possibility of postpartum mania or depression should be kept in mind in follow-up. 相似文献
