A solution of sulfur (0.1 M) and sodium sulfide (0.01M) in 3-picoline, referred to as polysulfide reagent, rapidly converts trialkyl and triaryl phosphite triesters to the corresponding phosphorothioate derivatives. Greater than 99.8% average stepwise sulfurization efficiency is obtained in the solid-phase synthesis of DNA and RNA phosphorothioate olgonucleotides via the phosphoramidite approach. 相似文献

Present communication reports laboratory and pot experiments conducted to study the influence of water and osmotic stress on nitrogen uptake and metabolism in two wheat (Triticum aestivum L) cultivars with and without potassium supplementation. Polyethylene glycol 6000-induced osmotic stress/restricted irrigation caused a considerable decline in the activity of nitrate reductase, glutamate synthase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, and glutamate dehydrogenase. Potassium considerably improved nitrogen metabolism under normal water supply conditions and also resulted in amelioration of the negative impact of water and osmotic stresses indicating that potassium supplementation can be used as a potential tool for enhancing the nitrogen use efficiency in wheat for exploiting its genetic potential. 相似文献

High-quality oligonucleotides are obtained by selective modification of sequences containing aldehyde apurinic sites with a new chromatographic tag followed by RP-HPLC separation. Hydroxylamine derivative 1 of a water soluble nonionic surfactant modifies oligonucleotides selectively at abasic sites leading to significantly increased retention. 相似文献

Background
Immunogenetic evidence indicates that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for the weak CTL antigen HBZ limit HTLV-1 proviral load in vivo, whereas there is no clear relationship between the proviral load and the frequency of CTLs specific for the immunodominant antigen Tax. In vivo, circulating HTLV-1-infected cells express HBZ mRNA in contrast, Tax expression is typically low or undetectable. To elucidate the virus-suppressing potential of CTLs targeting HBZ, we compared the ability of HBZ- and Tax-specific CTLs to lyse naturally-infected cells, by co-incubating HBZ- and Tax-specific CTL clones with primary CD4+ T cells from HLA-matched HTLV-1-infected donors. We quantified lysis of infected cells, and tested whether specific virus-induced host cell surface molecules determine the susceptibility of infected cells to CTL-mediated lysis.Results
Primary infected cells upregulated HLA-A*02, ICAM-1, Fas and TRAIL-R1/2 in concert with Tax expression, forming efficient targets for both HTLV-1-specific CTLs and CTLs specific for an unrelated virus. We detected expression of HBZ mRNA (spliced isoform) in both Tax-expressing and non-expressing infected cells, and the HBZ26–34 epitope was processed and presented by cells transfected with an HBZ expression plasmid. However, when coincubated with primary cells, a high-avidity HBZ-specific CTL clone killed significantly fewer infected cells than were killed by a Tax-specific CTL clone. Finally, incubation with Tax- or HBZ-specific CTLs resulted in a significant decrease in the frequency of cells expressing high levels of HLA-A*02.Conclusions
HTLV-1 gene expression in primary CD4+ T cells non-specifically increases susceptibility to CTL lysis. Despite the presence of HBZ spliced-isoform mRNA, HBZ epitope presentation by primary cells is significantly less efficient than that of Tax.56.

Using inbreeding theory as applied to neutral alleles inherited maternally,
we generate expected probability distributions of times to identity by
descent for random pairs of mitochondrial genotypes within a population or
within an entire species characterized by high gene flow. For comparisons
with these expectations, empirical distributions of times to most recent
common ancestry were calculated (by conventional mtDNA clock calibrations)
from mtDNA haplotype distances observed within each of three vertebrate
species--American eels, hardhead catfish, and redwinged blackbirds. These
species were chosen for analysis because census population size in each is
currently large and because both genetic and life-history data are
consistent with the postulate that historical gene flow within these
species has been high. The observed molecular distances among mtDNA
lineages were two to three orders of magnitude lower than predicted from
census sizes of breeding females, suggesting that rate of mtDNA evolution
is decelerated in these species and/or that long-term effective population
size is vastly smaller than present-day population size. Several
considerations point to the latter possibility as most likely. The genetic
structure of any species is greatly influenced by historical demography;
even for species that are currently abundant, mtDNA gene lineages appear to
have been channeled through fairly small numbers of ancestors.

Abstract Oligonucleotides are finding widespread utility in various applications in diagnostics and molecular biology and as therapeutic agents. In standard synthesis of such oligonucleotides through phosphoramidite coupling, removal of the typical acid-labile 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl 5′-protecting group (DMTr), from the support-bound oligonucleotide plays a crucial role in each synthesis cycle in achieving high product yield and oligonucleotide quality. Although several reagents have been developed for this purpose, many have limited applicability to automated oligonucleotide synthesis on solid supports. The most commonly used reagents today are dilute solutions (2–15%) of an organic acid, typically trichloroacetic acid (TCA, pKa 0.8) or dichloroacetic acid (DCA, pKa 1.5) in dichloromethane. The high volatility (boiling point 40 °C) of dichloromethane and its high toxicity and carcinogenicity pose a hazard for personnel and the environment. In addition, as oligonucleotide synthesizers are now available to allow syntheses of up to 0.5 mole scale, the quantities of chlorinated waste generated have become quite large. In this context we became interested in replacing dichloromethane as deblocking reagent solvent with a less harmful solvent while preserving product yield and quality. We now report that it is not necessary to use halogenated solvents such as dichloromethane in the deblocking step of automated oligonucleotide synthesis in order to obtain high yields of high quality oligonucleotide product. 相似文献

Full thickness skin wounds in humans heal with scars, but without regeneration of the dermis. A degradable poly(urethane urea) scaffold (PUUR), Artelon® is already used to reinforce soft tissues in orthopaedics, and for treatment of osteoarthritis of the hand, wrist and foot. In this paper we have done in vitro experiments followed by in vivo studies to find out whether the PUUR is biocompatible and usable as a template for dermal regeneration. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured on discs of PUUR, with different macrostructures (fibrous and porous). They adhered to and migrated into the scaffolds, and produced collagen. The porous scaffold was judged more suitable for clinical applications and 4 mm Ø, 2 mm-thick discs of porous scaffold (12% w/w or 9% w/w polymer solution) were inserted intradermally in four healthy human volunteers. The implants were well tolerated and increasing ingrowth of fibroblasts was seen over time in all subjects. The fibroblasts stained immunohistochemically for procollagen and von Willebrand factor, indicating neocollagenesis and angiogenesis within the scaffolds. The PUUR scaffold may be a suitable material to use as a template for dermal regeneration.Key words: dermal regeneration, tissue engineering, polymer scaffold, wound healing, in vitro, in vivo, guided tissue regeneration, human, burns 相似文献
