水稻染色体标本制备的风油精法

水稻的染色体较小,不同的染色体在形态上较难区分。常规的压片技术由于很难使染色体分散,且也不能完全排除细胞质的干扰,因而很不适用于水稻染色体核型分析及显带。Kurata 等(1978)采用酶解与火焰干燥技术制备水稻染色体标本,获得清晰的染色体图象,从而成功地进行了水稻染色体的核型分析。陈瑞阳等(1982)参照人类染色体     

Serum IgE levels in rats infected with Paragonimus westermani]

Paragonimus westermani is a common fluke in Korea. The present study aimed to determine serum total IgE and specific IgG levels in experimental paragonimiasis of rats. Each Wistar rat was inoculated orally with 20-25 metacercariae of P. westermani from Cambaroides similis. Before and after infection (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 weeks) of P. westermani, the blood was collected from the retro-orbital venous plexus of rats and kept serum at -70 degrees C. Serum total IgE and specific IgG levels were determined by the capture and conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The results were as follows; 1. Serum IgE values were increased to 0.18 +/- 0.042 at 2 weeks, 0.28 +/- 0.151 at 4 weeks and 0.43 +/- 0.055 at 8 weeks after infection. The absorbances of non-infected rats ranged 0.07 +/- 0.021-0.12 +/- 0.025. 2. Specific IgG values were slightly increased at 3 weeks (0.20 +/- 0.032) and gradually increased up to 8 weeks (0.31 +/- 0.067) after infection. The absorbances of non-infected rats ranged 0.11 +/- 0.035-0.18 +/- 0.019. The present results suggested that P. westermani could elevate serum IgE and specific IgG antibodies in Wistar rats which were not a good definitive host.     

Artificial Induction and Evaluation of a Mild Isolate of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus

A severe isolate (BL) of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) that originated from Hawaii was treated with nitrous acid in an effort to obtain mild mutants. The standardized procedure used in mutation experiments was: extracting infected Gomphrena globosa L. leaf tissue in 0.01 M Na₂SO₃, 0.125 M sodium acetate and 0.4 M sodium nitrite at pH 5.5 and incubating the extract for 20 min at room temperature. The extract was inoculated to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Havana 423) and local lesions were subsequently transferred to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Minetto). One isolate (R27G) that incited mild symptoms in lettuce was obtained out of 868 local-lesion-transfers. Under greenhouse conditions, the isolate induced mild symptoms on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) but was severe on peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). The effect of the R27G isolate on growth of potted tomatoes kept outdoors was variable. In one trial, only 15 % of the fruit had symptoms versus 67 % in another trial. R27G fully protected Datura stramonium L. plants that were challenge inoculated with the severe parent BL isolate. Less effective cross protection was observed against a severe isolate from Oklahoma.

Transformation of trichloroethylene by sulfate-reducing cultures enriched from a contaminated subsurface soil

Summary Trichloroethylene (TCE) was reductively dechlorinated to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE) by sulfate-reducing cultures enriched from a contaminated subsurface soil. The highest observed transformation rate of TCE was 213 mol l^–1 per day at 35° C. The predominant biotransformation product was cDCE. However, further dechlorination of cDCE was not observed in most of the cultures. Methane production was insignificant and active sulfate reduction was achieved by maintaining excess sulfate. A comparison of sodium sulfide and sodium dithionite for their effect on the transformation of TCE revealed that the latter is a better reducing agent. The extent of TCE transformation in 25 days was ca. 20% higher in the dithionite-amended cultures. A decrease in the rate and extent of TCE transformation was observed with an increase in the concentration of bromoethanesulfonate up to 50 mabetm. Offprint requests to: S. G. Pavlostathis     

中华眼镜蛇蛇毒因子(CVF)对补体系统的作用及与人补作C_3和其他蛇毒抗原性关系

中华眼镜蛇蛇毒经DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B。HPLC等多次柱层析分离出有抗补体及溶血活性的眼镜蛇蛇毒因子(Cobra venom factor,CVF),纯化后的CVF在聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳图谱上呈单一区带,分子量为225000—230000,等电点为6.20。用二硫苏糖醇还原经SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳得三类亚基,其分子量总和为237,000。 体外抗补体及溶血试验表明,CVF的作用是通过补体旁路途经使总补体活力下降。双向免疫电泳鉴定,发现CVF与人血清作用后,其中补体成分C_3分子的抗原性发生改变,则表明CVF的作用是通过激活补体成分C_3而发挥的。给豚鼠腹腔注射CVF(0.15ug/g体重)后,其血清总补体水平下降到正常值的3％以下,7天后回升,13天后恢复到正常水平。 单相免疫电泳表明,CVF与人补体C_3抗血清间无任何交叉免疫反应,但人血清与CVF抗血清间有微弱的免疫沉淀反应。另外,CVF的氨基酸组成与人补体C_3也较为相似。鉴定还表明眼镜蛇科中四种蛇毒与CVF抗血清有强烈的免疫沉淀反应,蝰蛇毒及海蛇毒也有免疫沉淀反应,但只有眼镜蛇毒具有抗补体活性。

Synthesis of a nonacosapeptide (beta-fragment) corresponding to the N-terminal sequence 1-29 of human liver metallothionein II and its heavy metal-binding properties

A nonacosapeptide (beta-fragment) corresponding to the N-terminal sequence 1-29 of human liver metallothionein II was synthesized by the fragment condensation method. The Cd-binding ability of the beta-fragment was much stronger than that of cysteine as thionein and synthetic alpha-fragment corresponding to the C-terminal sequence 30-61 of human liver metallothionein II. Both the alpha- and beta-fragments bound preferentially to Cu ions rather than Cd ions.
