Plant cell suspension cultures can be used for the production of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins, but their potential is limited by modest production levels that may be unstable over long culture periods, reflecting initial culture heterogeneity and subsequent genetic and epigenetic changes. We used flow sorting to generate highly productive monoclonal cell lines from a heterogeneous population of tobacco BY‐2 cells expressing the human antibody M12 by selecting the co‐expressed fluorescent marker protein DsRed located on the same T‐DNA. Separation yielded ~35% wells containing single protoplasts and ~15% wells with monoclonal microcolonies that formed within 2 weeks. Thus, enriching the population of fluorescent cells from initially 24% to 90–96% in the six monoclonal lines resulted in an up to 13‐fold increase in M12 production that remained stable for 10–12 months. This is the first straightforward procedure allowing the generation of monoclonal plant cell suspension cultures by flow sorting, greatly increasing the potential of plant cells as an economical platform for the manufacture of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. 相似文献

Studies of the morphology of Ascaris suum larvae developing in the egg during embryonation in vitro at room temperature showed that 2 molts take place within the egg. The first larval stage (L1) appeared in the egg after 17-22 days of cultivation, the first molt to the second larval stage (L2) took place from day 22 to day 27, and the second molt to the third larval stage (L3) started on day 27 and continued during the 60-day observation period. Infectivity of the eggs was studied by oral egg inoculation in mice and showed that the L3 are the infective stage for mice. Molting to the L3 stage occurs gradually over a period of 2-6 wk, and it is recommended to have an additional maturation period so the infectivity of an egg batch may reach maximum level. 相似文献

Chemical cues modify species interactions: the ecological consequences of predator avoidance by freshwater snails 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Chemical signals released by predators or injured prey often induce shifts in the traits of prey species, which may in turn affect species interactions. Here we investigate the role that chemical cues play in mediating species interactions in the littoral food web of lakes. Previous studies have shown that predators induce shifts in the morphology, life history, and behavior of the freshwater snail Physella, but the ecological consequences of developing these inducible defenses are not well documented. We observed habitat use of the freshwater snail Physella gyrina along a depth gradient in a natural lake, and found they increased their use of covered habitats with increasing depth. We hypothesized that this habitat shift was due to changes in the level and type of predation risk, and that the habitat shift would affect periphyton standing crops. These hypotheses were tested in a mesocosm experiment in which we manipulated the presence of molluscivorous fish and crayfish. Predators were confined to cages and snail density was identical in all treatments, so any effects of predators were mediated through trait shifts induced by chemical cues. In the presence of fish, Physella moved under cover, but in the presence of crayfish, Physella avoided cover and moved to the water surface. These non‐lethal effects of predators on snail habitat use influenced the interaction between snails and their periphyton resources. In the presence of fish, periphyton standing crop in covered habitats was reduced to just 8% of periphyton in the absence of fish. Crayfish had no significant effect on periphyton in covered habitats, but they reduced periphyton in near‐surface habitats to 39% of the standing crop in the absence of crayfish. The combined effects of fish and crayfish were generally intermediate to their individual effects. We conclude that because chemical cues often have strong effects on individual traits and trophic interactions are sensitive to trait values, chemical cues may play an important role in shaping the structure and dynamics of food webs. 相似文献

Isolated intact, beating hearts were perfused with HPLC-pure [125]-IGF-I (1 ng/ml) alone or [125]-IGF-I (1 ng/ml) plus varying concentrations of unlabeled IGF-I (10-3,000 ng/ml) or unlabeled insulin (1,000-100,000 ng/ml). After 1 min of perfusion with peptides, the hearts were rapidly fixed, sectioned and analyzed for radioautographic [125I] grain counts. Greater than 90% of [125I] grains were shown to represent intact [125I]-IGF. Maximal grain counts over capillaries occurred after perfusion with [125I]-IGF-I alone and decreased in a dose-dependent manner when unlabeled IGF-I was coperfused. Coperfusion of [125I]-IGF-I with unlabeled insulin also decreased 125I grains over capillaries but less potently than unlabeled IGF-I. EM radioautography demonstrated that [125I]-IGF-I grains were localized over capillary endothelial cells. Thus, specific IGF-I receptors are present in the capillary endothelium of the intact heart and have properties similar to IGF-I receptors in cultured capillary endothelial cells. 相似文献

Moloney leukemia virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), generated by secondary in vitro stimulation of spleen cells with syngeneic virus-infected cells, frequently lysed not only syngeneic virus-infected cells, but also noninfected allogeneic target cells. This phenomenon was studied with B6(H-2 b ) responder cells and a series of H-2K b -mutant responder cells. Thus, B6 Moloney-specific CTL lysed noninfected K b -mutant cells, but not B6 cells, whereas K b -mutant Moloney-specific CTL lysed noninfected B6 cells and not noninfected cells of the same mutant. Cold-target-inhibition studies showed that the CTL reactions against different allogeneic cells were mediated by different subpopulations of virus-specific CTL: lysis of allogeneic target cells was fully inhibited only by the same allogeneic and by syngeneic virus-infected cells, but not by another allogeneic cell, also lysed by the same effector-cell population. Lysis of syngeneic virus-infected cells could not be inhibited by allogeneic target cells. These data imply that a minority of virus-specific CTL shows cross-reactivity with a given allogeneic target cell. It is concluded that limited amino acid substitutions in the Kb molecule alter the repertoire of Moloney virus-specific CTL, as reflected in alloreactive CTL populations, even though the virus-specific CTL response. of B6 and all K b mutants is mainly Db-restricted. Thus, the development of tolerance to self class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules affects the repertoire of self-restricted cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

Endothelial cells were cultured from bovine fat capillaries, aortae and pulmonary arteries and their interactions with 125I-IGF-I, 125I-MSA (an IGF-II), 125I-insulin and the corresponding unlabeled hormones were evaluated. Each endothelial culture showed similar binding parameters. With 125I-insulin, unlabeled insulin competed with high affinity while IGF-I and MSA were approximately 1% as potent. With 125I-MSA, MSA was greater than or equal to IGF-I in potency and insulin did not compete for binding. Using 125I-IGF-I, IGF-I was greater than or equal to MSA whereas insulin decreased 125I-IGF-I binding by up to 72%. Exposing cells to anti-insulin receptor antibodies inhibited 125I-insulin binding by greater than 90%, did not change 125I-MSA binding, while 125I-IGF-I binding was decreased by 30-44%, suggesting overlapping antigenic determinants between IGF-I and insulin receptors that were not present on MSA receptors. We conclude that cultured capillary and large vessel endothelial cells have distinct receptors for insulin, IGF-I and MSA (IGF-II). 相似文献

MOTIVATION: Loss of chromosomal material is often observed in cancer cells. In this situation the expression of genes is related to their position on the genome. Epigenetic phenomena may also silence several genes in the same region of a chromosome. While cytogenetic or other molecular genetic methods spot changes of DNA copy number, they cannot detect other causes of silencing. RESULTS: We propose a method that utilizes the link from expression information gained from high-density DNA microarrays to the gene locus according to current databases. Statistical methods adequate to spot conspicuous runs of non-expressed genes are introduced and compared to one another by merit of their power and robustness against false positives.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract infections in children, the elderly, and immune-compromised individuals. CD4 and CD8 T cells play a crucial role in the elimination of RSV from the infected lung, but T cell memory is not sufficient to completely prevent reinfections. The nature of the adaptive immune response depends on innate immune reactions initiated after interaction of invading pathogens with host APCs. For respiratory pathogens myeloid dendritic cell (DC) precursors that are located underneath the epithelial cell layer lining the airways may play a crucial role in primary activation of T cells and regulating their functional potential. In this study, we investigated the role of human monocyte-derived DC in RSV infection. We showed that monocyte-derived DC can be productively infected, which results in maturation of the DC judged by the up-regulation of CD80, CD83, CD86, and HLA class II molecules. However, RSV infection of DC caused impaired CD4 T cell activation characterized by a lower T cell proliferation and ablation of cytokine production in activated T cells. The suppressive effect was caused by an as yet unidentified soluble factor produced by RSV-infected DC. 相似文献
