植物血细胞凝集素对小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞γ－谷氨酰基转肽酶活性的影响

本文就植物血细胞凝集素（ＰＨＡ）作用的不同时间对小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞γ－谷氨酰基转肽酶（γ－ＧＴ）活性的影响进行了观察。结果表明,脾脏淋巴细胞转化率随给予ＰＨＡ时间的延长而上升,对照组＜２４ｈ组＜４８ｈ组＜７２ｈ组;淋巴细胞γ－ＧＴ活性于２４ｈ明显强于对照组（Ｐ＜０．００１）,随着ＰＨＡ作用时间的延长其γ－ＧＴ活性逐渐下降,即４８ｈ组与对照组已无显著差异,而７２ｈ组却低于对照组（Ｐ＜０．００１）。可见ＰＨＡ在小鼠体内对γ－ＧＴ活性有很大影响。     

人粒细胞集落刺激因子（hG－CSF）cDNA3′－UTR对其表达的影响

利用人粒细胞集落刺激因子（ｈＧ－ＣＳＦ）ｃＤＮＡ３′端非翻译区（３′－ＵＴＲ）中存在的ＤｒａⅠ酶切位点,通过部分酶切与完全酶切,删除３′－ＵＴＲ不同长度,构建了四种ｈＧ－ＣＳＦｃＤＮＡ瞬时重组表达质粒。转染ＣＯＳ－７细胞后,生物活性测定结果提示,ｈＧ－ＣＳＦｃＤＮＡ３′－ＵＴＲ对其表达起负调控作用,其关键性序列位于紧接终止密码子ＴＧＡ下游的６５ｂｐ范围内,３′－ＵＴＲ对ｈＧ－ＣＳＦｃＤＮＡ表达的影响与转录水平的差别有一定关系。

人鼻咽癌细胞基因组中瘤基因Ha－ras－1的Dnase Ⅰ超敏感位点的初步研究

ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点的研究能够发现潜在的调控基因转录活化的位点,比较正常人外周血有核细胞,淋巴瘤细胞株Ｐ３ＨＲ１和人鼻咽癌低分化磷癌细胞株ＨＯｎＥ１和ＨＮＥ２中Ｈａ－ｒａｓ－１瘤基因的ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点发现,只有ＨＯＮＥ１和ＨＮＥ２细胞基因组中存在一个ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点,位于第一个外显子上游０．３７ｋｂ处,上述结果提示正常白细胞和Ｐ３ＨＲ１细胞中Ｈａ－ｒａｓ－１基因处于失活状态,而在鼻咽癌细胞基因组中则处于活化状态,它的活化可能与０．３７ｋｂ处的ＤＮＡ序列有密切的关系。     

人骨骼肌α辅肌动蛋白（α－actinin）的提取及其抗血清的制备和鉴定

本文提取人骨骼肌α辅肌动蛋白（α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ）是综合了文献报导有关提取兔肌α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ的和提取鸡胗α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ的方法,稍加修改而确定的。用Ｈａｓｓｅｌｂａｃｈ－Ｓｃｈｎｅｉｄｅｒ缓冲液提取骨骼肌中的肌球蛋白后,将残余物经硼酸－缓冲液提取、匀浆及高速离心去掉肌动蛋白和肌原纤维的其它成份,上清加硫酸铵至３０％,３５％饱合度所得的沉淀用２２０ｍｍｏｌ／ＬＴｒｉｓ－乙酸溶解、透析、离心后经ＤＥ－５２柱层析可得电泳纯。α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ。将人骨骼肌α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ纯化制品免疫了三只大耳白纯种家兔,两个多月后,三只兔子都产生免抗人骨骼肌α－ａｃｔｉｎｉｎ的特异抗血清,用双向免疫扩散法和酶联免疫吸附试验（ＥＬＩＳＡ）测定,产生的抗体效价较高,用双扩散法测定效价为１：３２,用ＥＬＩＳＡ测定,用比率法判断结果,效价最高者为１：１００,０００左右,经免疫电镜观察结果证实,上述抗血清可以满足进一步实验要求。     

钙／钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶对17．7kD和6kD胰腺蛋白的磷酸化

本文报导了胰腺提取物中两种可被钙／钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶磷酸化的热稳定蛋白。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ测定其表观分子量分别为１７．７ｋＤ和６ｋＤ。经钙／钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶磷酸化后,其最大磷酸参入量为８．８μｍｏｌ／ｇ蛋白。同时磷酸化作用导致１７．７ｋＤ蛋白在ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ中迁移率发生变化。本文还进一步分析了各种阳离子对磷酸化的影响,并对此两种蛋白可能具有的生理功能进行了初步探讨。     

Elemental composition of secretory granules in pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

We have characterized, by electron probe microanalysis, rapidly frozen cultured rat islets at the level of individual secretory granules. Elemental analysis of thin, dried cryosections showed that beta granules could be distinguished by high Zn, Ca, and S, whereas non-beta (mainly alpha) granules contained elevated P and Mg. Although a single granule type predominated in a particular cell, some rebel granules were found in A cells that had the compositional fingerprint of B cell granules. Zn, which was found in millimolar concentrations in B cell granules, was considered a marker for the insulin storage complex. The data indicate that non-B islet cells in the adult pancreas may produce insulin-containing organelles and that, when glucagon and insulin are coexpressed, these hormones are packaged in separate granules.     

Detection and characterization of new genetic mutations in individuals heterozygous for lactate dehydrogenase-B(H) deficiency using DNA conformation polymorphism analysis and silver staining

In northwest European countries maternal age is increasing. This will lead to an increase of the prevalence of Down syndrome conceptuses. Meanwhile, the increased use of prenatal cytogenetic diagnosis (PCD) will lead to a decrease in the prevalence of Down syndrome among livebirths. We were interested to know what the result of these two opposite developments would be in the near future, and we describe here a model to quantify these processes and the resulting livebirth prevalence of Down syndrome. The model is demonstrated for The Netherlands from 1992 to 2001. The predicted livebirth prevalence for The Netherlands in 1992 is 1.36 per 1000. Demographic factors will cause an increase to 1.76 per 1000 in 2001 with present indications for PCD and a utilization ratio of 50%. An increase of the utilization ratio to 90% in 2001 will lead to a prevalence of 1.22 per 1000, a little less than the present prevalence. Alternative screening programs, including maternal serum screening, could lead to a further decrease of the livebirth prevalence. The model described here can be used for evaluation of the consequences of alternative forms of Down syndrome screening.
