桑蚕促前胸腺激素的作用与前胸腺分泌活动的某些特点

本工作以前胸腺的体外器官培养技术和蜕皮激素的放射免疫分析法(MH-RIA)相结合,研究了桑蚕(Bombyx mori)促前胸腺激素(PTTH)的作用与前胸腺分泌的某些特点。结果表明,被PTTH激活后的前胸腺,在一定的时相过程内合成并分泌脱皮甾类激素;前胸腺本体不积累蜕皮甾类激素;PTTH对前胸腺的作用是积累性的;五龄不同天数的前胸腺合成分泌脱皮甾类激素的能力不同,并有不同的剂量反应。     

马齿苋叶片PEP羧化酶的分子特性

马齿苋叶片PEPCase由四个相同的亚基组成,亚基分子量为83kD。远紫外CD光谱分析表明,此酶含有36.6％α—螺旋结构。马齿苋叶片PEPCase可被G6P激活,但不能被Gly、Ser激活。G6P可防止酶的尿素变性和枯草杆菌蛋白酶的作用。这种保护效应与G6P诱导的酶构象变化有关。 从酶对低温、高温及尿素的反应来看,马齿苋叶片PEPCase的稳定性高于高粱叶片PEP—Case,两者的免疫特性和电泳特性亦不同。     

中枢α受体在大鼠颈动脉窦反射中的调制作用

孤离大鼠左侧颈动脉窦,采用侧脑室(LCV)注射α_1受体阻断剂酚苄明(phenoxybenzam-ine PBZ,2μg/20μl)或α_2受体阻断剂育亨宾(yohimbine Y,2μg/20μl),以颈动脉窦内压(ISP)-平均动脉压(MAP)关系曲线及其有关参数为指标,研究和分析了中枢α受体对颈动脉窦反射的影响。将所得ISP和MAP经Logistic方程拟合,建立ISP-MAP关系曲线。结果如下:PBZ组,ISP-MAP关系曲线在高窦内压区明显上移;峰斜率、MAP变动范围明显减小;ISP-斜率关系曲线在15.96kPa处明显下移。Y组,ISP-MAP关系曲线在高窦内压区明显上移;峰斜率、MAP变动范围明显减小,阈压明显增大,ISP-斜率关系曲线在10.64、15.96kPa处明显下移。与PBZ组相比,Y组的峰斜率、MAP变动范围减小更明显。结果表明:中枢α_1或α_2受体阻断后,窦反射的敏感性明显降低,其中阻断α_2受体的作用尤为明显。     

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.
