Epipolarization Microscopic Immunogold Assay: a Combination of Immunogold Silver Staining, Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent Assay and Epipolarization Microscopy

We describe a new immunoassay which combines an immunosorbent assay, Immunogold silver staining and epipolarization microscopy. Our new assay procedure features multiple samples on a single microscope slide, and high sensitivity of epipolarization microscope for detection of silver-enhanced colloidal gold as a final immunoassay product. We call the new immunoassay “on slide immunogold assay” (OSIGA). This new method uses biotinylated antibody and streptavidin-gold reaction with silver enhancement technique. With OSIGA it is possible to investigate 30 samples on a single microscopic slide. Our preliminary studies used 10-20 μ1 samples and detected nanogram quantities of a standardized protein solution. Unlike enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which has a limited time for reading the final color products, the OSIGA specimens can be dried or resin mounted for longer storage and future reference.     

Purification and characterization of recombinant human pro-urokinase produced in silkworm using a baculovirus vector

Summary A recombinant baculovirus (BmNPV-pk2) was constructed by inserting the human pro-urokinase(pro-UK) cDNA into the genome of baculovirus Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) adjacent to the strong polyhedrin promoter. The recombinant virus replicated in silkworm larvae, which synthesized 30g pro-UK/ml in the haemolymph within 4 days post-infection. Purification to near homogeneity was accomplished by fractional precipitation with ammonium sulphate and immunoaffinity chromatography with an overall yield of 23% and a specific activity of 100,000IU/mg in fibrin plate assay. This purified product was comprised of a single chain protein with approximately Mr. 50kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE gel. The N-Terminal amino acids sequence revealed that the secretion signal of pro-UK was correctly processed.     

水平回转对水稻幼苗叶细胞的影响

对在模拟微重力装置上回转１４ 天的水稻幼苗叶细胞进行了亚显微形态、电子探针和细胞酶化学研究。发现叶细胞质膜上Ｃａ２＋ －ＡＴＰ酶活性消失,膜内钙总量上升、膜外钙总量下降,细胞骨架变得疏松,细胞壁变薄并凹凸不平。叶绿体的基粒和线粒体的内嵴亦有部分变化。其变化机制,首先是细胞质膜上Ｃａ２＋ －ＡＴＰ酶活性消失,膜上钙泵停止工作,跨膜钙浓度差减小,膜内钙浓度上升,微管、微丝聚合受阻,细胞骨架疏松,分泌泡移动失去导向,从而导致细胞壁变薄等状态

肌苷发酵液絮凝除菌体的研究

目前国内肌苷生产厂家普遍采用的提取方法是“双柱法”,即先用阳离子柱吸附,然后再用炭柱吸附。该方法不但周期长,工作量大,能耗高,而且提取收率低,一般只有60％左右,使我国肌苷的生产成本大大提高。因此,寻求新的提取方法,降低生产成本,是肌苷生产厂家及有关科技人员所共同关注的问题。肌苷发酵液的除菌体就是新法提取的步骤之一,它可以省去阳离子吸附柱,直接采用炭柱吸附,采用此法可使提取周期大大缩短,降低能耗,提高提取收率。 肌苷菌体较难清除,本研究采用能耗低、易操作,工作量小的絮凝方法,所用的絮凝剂为天然无毒物质,因此沉淀菌体可用作饲料蛋白,起到一举两得的作用。     

Rates of apparent photosynthesis,respiration and dry matter accumulation in maize canopies

The rates of canopy apparent photosynthesis (P_C) and canopy respiration (R_c) were studied during vegetation season in two erectophile and two planophile hybrids of maize (Zea mays L.) grown at two canopy densities [7.5 plants m^-2 (HD) and 4.5 plants m^-2 (LD)]. Large differences in P_C, R_c, R_C/P_C, leaf area index (LAI), dry matter accumulation and grain yield were found among hybrids and plant densities. Variations in P_C and R_C were associated mainly with changes in LAI. There was also found change in P_C per unit LAI with time. The average R_C/P_C was 28.9 % for all treatments throughout the vegetation season. P_C and R_C per unit dry matter were higher in LD than in HD and decreased throughout the measurement period. The HD stand had higher P_C and yield in hybrids with erectophile foliage, whereas LD stand had higher P_C after male tetrad and got higher yield in hybrids with planophile foliage. Only R_C in hybrids of the two foliage types was higher under HD than under LD throughout the vegetation period.     

Long-term changes in Noctiluca scintillans blooms along the Chinese coast from 1933 to 2020

Noctiluca scintillans is one of the most common harmful algal species and widely known due to its bioluminescence. In this study, the spatial distribution, seasonal variations, and long-term trends of N. scintillans blooms in China and the related drivers were analyzed and discussed. From 1933 to 2020, a total of 265 events of N. scintillans blooms were recorded in Chinese coastal waters, with a total duration of 1052 days. The first N. scintillans bloom occurred in Zhejiang in 1933, and only three events were recorded before 1980. From 1981 to 2020, N. scintillans caused harmful algal blooms (HABs) almost every year, both the average duration and the proportion of multiphase HABs showed an increasing trend. 1986–1992, 2002–2004, and 2009–2016 were the three peak periods with a frequency of no less than five events of N. scintillans blooms per year. In terms of spatial distribution, N. scintillans blooms spread from the Southeast China Sea to the Bohai Sea after 2000, Guangdong, Fujian, and Hebei were the three provinces with the highest numbers of recorded events of N. scintillans blooms. Moreover, 86.8% of the events of N. scintillans blooms occurred in spring (March, April, and May) and summer (June, July, and August). Among environmental factors, the dissolved inorganic phosphate, dissolved silicate and chemical oxygen demand were significantly correlated with the cell density of N. scintillans during N. scintillans blooms, and most of N. scintillans blooms were recorded in the temperature range of 18.0–25.0°C. Precipitation, hydrodynamics, water temperature, and food availability might be the main factors affecting the spatial–temporal distribution of N. scintillans blooms along the Chinese coast.
