视网膜神经节细胞的纯化和体外存活

我们用特异性抗体Thy1.1结合尼龙筛方法分离和纯化新生大鼠视网膜神经节细胞,比较顶盖提取液对这些纯化细胞的作用。预先以快蓝(fast blue,FB)逆行标记的视网膜细胞悬液,接种在包被了Thy1.1抗体的培养皿上30分钟,冲洗未粘附的细胞,显微镜下计数粘附细胞中FB标记的视网膜神经节细胞纯度的百分比,最高为95%。用孔径15μm尼龙筛方法分离的纯度仅为60±5%。上述两种方法纯化的视网膜神经节细胞,仅在有顶盖提取液存在时,细胞存活并生长活跃,胞体大且有突起伸出。MTT微量比色法测定培养24小时纯化细胞存活的光密度(OD)值,显示以Thy1.1特异性抗体纯化的细胞,其OD值比值(+Te/-Te)是12.3(0.111/0.009);以尼龙筛纯化的OD值比值(+Te/-Te)是6.4(0.102/0.016);未经纯化的OD值比值(+Te/-Te)是3.8(0.095/0.025)。在上述三组中,加Te与无Te细胞生存的OD值比较,相差均非常显著(P<0.01)。结论:在纯化的视网膜神经节细胞的培养中,由于排除了其他细胞所引起的非特异性反应,神经节细胞能够更直接地反映顶盖提取液的生物效应;视网膜神经节细胞纯度越高,其作用越显著。     

小伞山羊草(Aegilops umbellata)恢复基因向小麦的转移

鉴定了小伞山羊草(Ae.umbellulata)6条染色体的中国春添加系对T型细胞质雄性不育系育性的影响,发现UAD能较好地恢复T型不育系的育性,表明染色体A上携带有育性恢复基因。添加染色体A在提莫菲维细胞质背景中通过雄配子的传递率为15.6%。同时进一步证明中国春不含有恢复基因。 在体细胞染色体数为42的331个不育系与UAD的杂种衍生后代中选到18个可育株,并对部分植株进行了细胞学鉴定。其中040-5、061-1和061-4与中国春的杂种F_1的育性分离和染色体配对情况表明它们是含有来自小伞山羊草染色体A上的恢复基因的杂合易位系。     

血液病患者的巨细胞病毒感染

用间接酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)对新近诊断的179例血液病患者血清巨细胞病毒(HCMV)IgM和IgA抗体进行了检测。阳性率分别为11,17％11,73％,明显高于对照人群(4,76％和3,97％),提示血液病患者由于免疫功能下降,易于发生HCMV活动性感染。     

Virological survey of rhesus monkeys in China

A virological survey of rhesus monkeys captured in China for 13 viruses and/or antibodies was performed. Antigens used were SFV, SF40, HSV-1, Sa11, measles, vaccinia, epidemic or simian hemorrhagic fever, Langat, Kunming, poliomyelitis, HIV, SV41 and rubella. Monkeys were from Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. Antibody was detected to all the listed viruses except HIV, SV41 and rubella. Both SFV and SV40 were recovered from monkeys, but H. simiae, LCM and coxsackieviruses were not.     

巨细胞病毒冻干保存

The preservation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) by lyophilization was first developed in China. In 4 to 10 days the typical CPE was up to + in the HEL cell line which was inoculated only 0.2 ml suspension of lyophilized strain AD169 or CMV isolated from milk breast. After preserved for 1 year the lyophilized cytomegalovirus strain still contained 1.5-2.0 lgTCID50/0.1 ml in titer of viral infection. The lyophilized strains have been used in the preparation of diagnostic antigen of cytomegalovirus in our department, also the strains were supplied to the whole country.     

买麻藤化学成分的研究

从买麻藤(Gnetum montanum Markgr)的藤茎中分离鉴定出4个新化合物:2-羟基(?)甲氧基-4-甲氧羰基吡咯(1),2-羟基-3-甲氧甲基-4-甲氧羰基吡咯(2),3,4-二羟基-4-(?)氧基二苄醚(3)和3,3',4'-三羟基-4-甲氧基二苄醚(4)以及两个已知化合物2,3-二苯基吡咯(5)和胺甲基甲醇(6)。化合物(1)、(2)和(6)是以盐酸盐形式分离得到。     

Mice immunized with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing dengue 4 virus structural proteins with or without nonstructural protein NS1 are protected against fatal dengue virus encephalitis.

We have constructed vaccinia virus recombinants expressing dengue virus proteins from cloned DNA for use in experimental immunoprophylaxis. A recombinant virus containing a 4.0-kilobase DNA sequence that codes for three structural proteins, capsid (C), premembrane (pre-M), and envelope (E), and for nonstructural proteins NS1 and NS2a produced authentic pre-M, E, and NS1 in infected CV-1 cells. Mice immunized with this recombinant were protected against an intracerebral injection of 100 50% lethal doses of dengue 4 virus. A recombinant containing only genes C, pre-M, and E also induced solid resistance to challenge. Deletion of the putative C-terminal hydrophobic anchor of the E glycoprotein did not result in secretion of E from recombinant-virus-infected cells. Recombinants expressing only the E protein preceded by its own predicted N-terminal hydrophobic signal or by the signal of influenza A virus hemagglutinin or by the N-terminal 71 amino acids of the G glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus produced glycosylated E protein products of expected molecular sizes. These vaccinia virus recombinants also protected mice.
