Two anti-CD3 antibodies and their Fab/F(ab')2 fragments were compared with regard to their requirement for secondary signals and generations of intracellular messengers. The anti-CD3 antibody BMA030 was found to require monocyte contact to elicit T-cell mitogenesis. Cross-linking by plastic-bound goat anti-mouse antibodies (panning) failed to activate T cells, even in the presence of recombinant IL-1 or IL-2. In contrast, crosslinking of the anti-CD3 antibody Leu4 or Leu4 fragments was mitogenic in monocyte-free cultures. Measurements of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and generation of inositol phosphates revealed that binding (+/- panning) of BMA030, Leu4, and their F(ab')2 fragments generated similar amounts of intracellular messengers and thus failed to explain the different responsiveness to passive crosslinking. Since the generation of these messengers was not necessarily followed by proliferation but was always observed when mitogenesis occurred, we conclude that the elevation of [Ca2+]i and the production of inositol phosphates are required but not sufficient to trigger mitogenesis. 相似文献

Abstract Vibrio anguillarum and Pasteurella piscicida are Gram-negative bacteria which are pathogenic for marine fish and we report here the first successful transformation of these two bacteria by electroporation. The optimal conditions for electroporation included a field strength of 12.5 kV cmt-1 and a time constant of 5 ms using 0.2-cm cuvettes. With these parameters, three plasmids (pSU2718, pCML, pEV3) with molecular sizes of 2.6, 5 and 13.7 kb, respectively were successfully transformed into both pathogens. V. anguillarum isolates belonging to serotypes O1 and O2 were transformed with greatest efficiency, 2.5 × 103 transformants per μg DNA, being achieved in the serotype O2 strains using plasmid pCML. Strains of serotype O3 were not transformed. In the case of P. piscicida the maximum efficiency achieved was 9.8 × 102 transformants per μg pCML plasmid DNA. This optimized system will allow development of procedures for the genetic manipulation of these pathogens. 相似文献

The significance in hepatocarcinogenesis of various arylamine/amide adducts with nucleic acid was investigated by the use of comparison studies on several different parameters. Female Fischer and Sprague-Dawley rats are comparably sensitive to hepatocarcinogenesis by 2-acetamidofluorene (AAF), while male rats are more sensitive. 7-Fluoro-AAF is more carcinogenic in Sprague-Dawley rats than is AAF, but is strikingly so toward the liver of the female rat. Based on these observations, binding of both compounds to liver nucleic acids was determined for male and female Fischer rats at 1 and 3 days after a single injection of carcinogen, and in female Sprague-Dawley rats from 1 to 28 days after a single injection. As shown by others, no 8-(N-2-fluorenylacetamido)guanine adduct could be found in RNA or DNA of female Sprague-Dawley rats treated with AAF (nor was the corresponding 7-fluoro derivative detectable). These adducts were present, however, in comparable amounts in both male and female Fischer rats. The binding of 7-fluoro-AAF derivatives was higher than that of AAF derivatives in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Feeding of either AAF or 7-fluoro-AAF to Sprague-Dawley rats for 4 weeks before a single injection of [3H]7-fluoro-AAF resulted in reduction of the 8-(N-2-(7-fluoro)fluorenylacetamido)guanine adduct in males to undetectable levels in DNA and to 10% of control level in RNA. Non-acetylated adducts were increased in males, but decreased in females by AAF prefeeding; 7-fluoro-AAF prefeeding resulted in little change in adduct formation in females and in a major increase in non-acetylated adducts in males. AAF adducts disappeared from DNA more rapidly than did 7-fluoro-AAF adducts. Assay of the urinary metabolites from the animals in the prefeeding experiment showed that all compounds fed (including the non-hepatocarcinogens 4-acetamidobiphenyl and 2-acetamidophenanthrene) increased the proportion of N-hydroxy-7-fluoro-AAF among the metabolites. Defluorination of 7-fluoro-AAF to 7-hydroxy-AAF was also demonstrated and the ratio of 7-hydroxy-AAF to 5-hydroxy-7-fluoro-AAF was comparable to that observed for 7-hydroxy-AAF/5-hydroxy-AAF and AAF itself, suggesting that fluoro substitution does not increase activity by preventing detoxication. 相似文献

Recent evidence from algal physiology and molecular biologyconfirms that photoinhibition is directly related to D1 proteindamage and recovery, and D1 protein damage leads to a decreasein electron transfer or an increase in turnover time of theelectron transfer chain. In this study, the turnover time ofthe electron transfer chain is defined as a function of therelative concentration of D1 protein in reaction centre II andthe photoinhibition processes due to D1 protein degradationare incorporated into a model of photosynthesis, initiated byDubinsky et al. (Plant Cell Physiol., 27, 13351349, 1986)and developed by Sakshaug et al. (Limnol. Oceanogr., 34, 198205,1989). D1 protein damage is assumed to be both light and D1protein concentration dependent, and to be proportional to thecross-section of PSII ( 相似文献

Tropical plantations are rapidly expanding as a source of industrial wood. In Indonesia, such large-scale industrial plantations
are generally made of large mono-specific blocks interspersed with natural forest remnants. The extent and biodiversity value
of these remnants vary as laws and regulations on their design and management are either unclear, without solid scientific
basis or left to the interpretation of private companies responsible for the plantations. Our study area comprises of three
Acacia mangium plantations, which have on average 18% of their total area set aside from production and conserved as natural forests. These
remnant natural forests may, if appropriately designed and managed, be used to mitigate the negative impact of plantations
on biodiversity by providing some degree of connectivity with and between remaining natural forest patches (such as the Tesso
Nilo conservation area). We sampled natural vegetation in one and primate diversity in all three plantation sector and examined
patterns of primate species richness and abundance with relation to spatial arrangement and dimensions of conservation area,
which has been set aside from plantation production. We demonstrate unambiguously the critical importance of a well-connected
network of natural forest corridors in the plantation landscape to maintain primates and discuss the potential biodiversity
value of natural forest remnants in broad-scale industrial landscapes. 相似文献

Studies show evidence of longitudinal brain volume decreases in schizophrenia. We studied brain volume changes and their relation to symptom severity, level of function, cognition, and antipsychotic medication in participants with schizophrenia and control participants from a general population based birth cohort sample in a relatively long follow-up period of almost a decade. All members of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 with any psychotic disorder and a random sample not having psychosis were invited for a MRI brain scan, and clinical and cognitive assessment during 1999–2001 at the age of 33–35 years. A follow-up was conducted 9 years later during 2008–2010. Brain scans at both time points were obtained from 33 participants with schizophrenia and 71 control participants. Regression models were used to examine whether brain volume changes predicted clinical and cognitive changes over time, and whether antipsychotic medication predicted brain volume changes. The mean annual whole brain volume reduction was 0.69% in schizophrenia, and 0.49% in controls (p = 0.003, adjusted for gender, educational level, alcohol use and weight gain). The brain volume reduction in schizophrenia patients was found especially in the temporal lobe and periventricular area. Symptom severity, functioning level, and decline in cognition were not associated with brain volume reduction in schizophrenia. The amount of antipsychotic medication (dose years of equivalent to 100 mg daily chlorpromazine) over the follow-up period predicted brain volume loss (p = 0.003 adjusted for symptom level, alcohol use and weight gain). In this population based sample, brain volume reduction continues in schizophrenia patients after the onset of illness, and antipsychotic medications may contribute to these reductions. 相似文献
