猪精子凝集素的纯化,性质及其作用

用胎球蛋白－Ｓｅｐｈａｒｏｓｅ亲和层析和凝胶过滤层析从精子和精浆中分离纯化了猪精子凝集素（简称ＢＳＬ）。ＢＳＬ的血凝活性只被若干糖蛋白和聚糖所抑制。ＢＳＬ的分子量为５６ｋｄ,由分子量分别为１３．６ｋｄ（β）和１６．０ｋｄ（α）的两个不同的亚基以α１β３所组成。ＢＳＬ为糖蛋白,含中性糖３．２％,不含唾液酸。用ＥＬＩＳＡ法测定猪精子中ＢＳＬ的含量及分布,表明７０％嵌入在精子膜中,２５％结合在精子表面,     

Neurotrophin-4/5, brain-derived neurotrophic factor,and neurotrophin-3 promote survival of cultured vestibular ganglion neurons and protect them against neurotoxicity of ototoxins

The ability of neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4/5), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and nerve growth factor (NGF) to promote survival of postnatal rat vestibular ganglion neurons (VGNs) was examined in dissociated cell cultures. Of the four neurotrophins, NT-4/5 and BDNF were equally effective but more potent than NT-3 in promoting the survival of VGNs. In contrast, NGF showed no detectable effects. As expected, TrkB-IgG (a fusion protein of extracellular domain of TrkB and Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G) specifically inhibited the survival-promoting effects by NT-4/5 or BDNF and TrkC-IgG fusion protein completely blocked that of NT-3. Immunohistochemistry with TrkB, TrkA, and p75 antisera revealed that VGNs made TrkB and p75 proteins, but not TrkA protein. Ototoxic therapeutic drugs such as cisplatin and gentamicin often induce degeneration of hair cells and ganglion neurons in both auditory and vestibular systems that leads to impairment of hearing and balance. When cisplatin and gentamicin were added to the dissociated VGN culture in which the hair cells were absent, additional cell death of VGNs was induced, suggesting that the two ototoxins may have a direct neurotoxic effect on ganglion neurons in addition to their known toxicity on hair cells. However, if the cultures were co-treated with neurotrophins, NT-4/5, BDNF, and NT-3, but not NGF, prevented or reduced the neurotoxicity of the two ototoxins. Thus, the three neurotrophins are survival factors for VGNs and are implicated in the therapeutic prevention of VGN loss caused by injury and ototoxins. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

用人工合成的丁型肝炎病毒抗原多肽检测丁肝病毒IgM抗体及其初步应用

用人工合成的丁型肝炎病毒抗原（ＨＤＶ－Ａｇ）肽建立了检测抗ＨＤＶ－ＩｇＭ抗体的ＥＬＩＳＡ方法,本法操作简便、快速,重复性好,特异性强,与抗ＨＡＶ－ＩｇＭ、抗Ｈｋ－ＩｇＭ、抗ＨＢｓ－ＩｇＭ、抗ＨＣＶ－ＩｇＩ、抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＭ、抗ＲＶ－ＩｇＭ、类风湿因子（ＲＦ）及抗核抗体（ＡＮＡ）阳性血清均不起反应,且可被２－巯基乙醇阻断而不起反应。经初步临床应用,３１例正常人血清抗ＨＤＶ－ＩｇＭ全部阴性,２８例慢活肝患者检出率为３２．１％（９／２８）,１７例慢迁肝患者血清阳性率为１１．８％（２／１７）１８例肝癌和肝硬化病人血清阳性率为２２．２％（４／１８）这三组病人与正常对照者相比较均有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．００１）。此外,抗ＨＤＶ－ＩｇＭ阳性血清的ＡＬＴ值均明显高于正常参考范围,提示在ＨＤＶ感染过程中,患者肝细胞进一步受损。实验结果证明,抗ＨＤＶ－ＩｇＭ是诊断ＨＤＶ感染的重要指标,对ＨＤＶ感染早期诊断具有重要价值。

少年人群接种乙肝疫苗后七年随访观察

对７９名ＨＢＶ标志阴性少年人群,以乙肝疫苗１０μｇ×３的免疫剂量和０、１、２月的免疫程序进行接种,对其抗－ＨＢｓ免疫应答和临床保护效果作了为期７年的定人随访。结果表明,抗－ＨＢｓ阳转率在免后三个月时为１００％,均值为３０８４ＭＩＵ／ｍｌ。至免后８４个月时疫苗接受者中仍有５５．７％的抗－ＨＢｓ水平≥１０ＭＩＵ／ｍｌ。６例检出抗－ＨＢｓ,其中５例的抗－ＨＢｓ持续处于高水平。全部观察对象无一例检出ＨＢｓＡｇ或发生临床肝炎。少年接种乙肝血源疫苗至少７年内可具有保护性抗体。故在此期内不需加强免疫。     

野生紫斑牡丹和四川牡丹种子萌发特性及与其致濒的关系

野生牡丹种子一般较小,而且不同产地之间形状、大小差异较大。其萌发特性与栽培牡丹相比也有较大差异：萌发期长达半年以上,且萌发温度在１０～１５℃为宜,超过２０℃则明显不利于生根及上胚轴生长。四个不同分布地的四川牡丹种子萌发率较一致,均在６０～７７％之间。三个不同产地的紫斑牡丹种子萌发率则相差甚远,分布于甘肃文县的萌发率达７６％,而分布于陕西略阳和湖北神农架的萌发率则分别只有１２％和４．４％,出苗率则更低。本文认为紫斑牡丹的种子特性是其在自然界处于濒危状态的重要原因之一。     

Activation of MEK family kinases requires phosphorylation of two conserved Ser/Thr residues.

MEK is a family of dual specific protein kinases which activate the extracellular signal-regulated kinases by phosphorylation of threonine and tyrosine residues. MEK itself is activated via serine phosphorylation by upstream activator kinases, including c-raf, mos and MEK kinase. Here, we report the activation phosphorylation sites of human MEK1 and yeast STE7 kinase as determined by a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches. In human MEK1, substitution of either serine residue 218 or 222 with alanine completely abolished its activation by epidermal growth factor-stimulated Swiss 3T3 cell lysates or immunoprecipitated c-raf, suggesting that both serine residues are required for MEK1 activation. Phosphopeptide analysis demonstrated that serine residues 218 and 222 of human MEK1 are the primary sites for phosphorylation by c-raf. These two serine residues are highly conserved in all members of the MEK family, including the yeast STE7 gene product, a MEK homolog in the yeast mating pheromone response pathway. Mutation of the corresponding residues in STE7 completely abolished the biological functions of this gene. These data demonstrate that MEK is activated by phosphorylation of two adjacent serine/threonine residues and this activation mechanism is conserved in the MEK family kinases.
