Visna virus of sheep and arthritis-encephalitis virus of goats are serologically related but genetically distinct retroviruses which cause slowly progressive diseases in their natural hosts. To localize homologous regions of the DNAs of these two viruses, we constructed a physical map of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus DNA and aligned it with the viral RNA. Cloned probes of visna virus DNA were then used to localize regions of homology with the caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus DNA. These studies showed homology in the 5' region of the genome encompassing U5 and the gag and pol genes and also in a small region in the env gene. These findings correlate with biological data suggesting that the regions of the DNA which are homologous may be responsible for virus group characteristics such as the closely related virus core antigens. Regions which did not show homology such as large sections in the env gene may represent unique sequences which control highly strain-specific characteristics such as the neutralization antigen and specific cell tropisms. 相似文献

The use of the antiplatelet agents abciximab and clopidogrel is now accepted therapy in percutaneous coronary intervention. We present a case in which these agents were used in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopaenic purpura and a platelet count of 40x10(9)/l undergoing primary multivessel coronary stenting. This case shows that unstable coronary syndromes can occur in patients with thrombocytopaenia and that antiplatelet agents may be used safely in this context. 相似文献

Contrasting population structure from nuclear intron sequences and mtDNA of humpback whales 总被引:21,自引:4,他引:21
Powerful analyses of population structure require information from multiple
genetic loci. To help develop a molecular toolbox for obtaining this
information, we have designed universal oligonucleotide primers that span
conserved intron-exon junctions in a wide variety of animal phyla. We test
the utility of exon-primed, intron-crossing amplifications by analyzing the
variability of actin intron sequences from humpback, blue, and bowhead
whales and comparing the results with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype
data. Humpback actin introns fall into two major clades that exist in
different frequencies in different oceanic populations. It is surprising
that Hawaii and California populations, which are very distinct in mtDNAs,
are similar in actin intron alleles. This discrepancy between mtDNA and
nuclear DNA results may be due either to differences in genetic drift in
mitochondrial and nuclear genes or to preferential movement of males, which
do not transmit mtDNA to offspring, between separate breeding grounds.
Opposing mtDNA and nuclear DNA results can help clarify otherwise hidden
patterns of structure in natural populations.

SYNOPSIS. Ochromonas danica in a complex natural growth medium dies at 6–10 C in 4 days; O. malhamensis in ∼2 days. O. danica grown in the medium supplemented with 4.0% glycerol survived at −10±2 C for 35 days, and with 8% glycerol 29 days. O. malhamensis lasted only to 5 days in these media supplemented with 4% glycerol. Ethylene glycol and dimethylsulfoxide were too toxic to be effective. Difficulties in freeze-preservation of certain other phagocytic cells, notably blood granulocytes having comparatively simple flexuous outer membranes, add interest to use of O. danica and O. malhamensis as test organisms for preservation methods, especially in the convenient, inexpensive -10 to -20 C range. Biphasic media with an overlay of distilled water serve for conservation at room temperature. Problems of mutational erosion of these photosynthetic phagotrophs are discussed. 相似文献
