以胃癌细胞系MGC803免疫Balb/c小鼠,取其脾细胞与小鼠骨髓瘤细胞NS-1融合。经选择培养、筛选及克隆化,获得恒定地分泌抗胃癌细胞系单克隆抗体(MoAb)的杂交瘤细胞系PD4。MoAb PD4与3/4胃癌细胞系有强结合反应,与4/4肺癌细胞系有弱结合反应,但与淋巴细胞、ABO红细胞、骨髓细胞、二倍体成纤维细胞及经检测的其他肿瘤细胞均无反应。PD4抗原主要表达于靶细胞的膜上,不耐热,为分子量40kD的蛋白性抗原。该抗原与HLA抗原系统,血型抗原系统无关,亦不同于其他作者所报告的其他胃癌相关抗原。     

Effect of gossypol on testicular blood flow and testosterone production in rats

Rats were treated with highly purified gossypol acetic acid at doses of 15 or 30 mg/kg day-1 for 6 weeks to produce an effect on spermatogenesis as shown by reduced sperm motility and increased sperm malformation rates. The treated rats did not differ from the controls in the body weight growth curves and reproductive organ weights. When stimulated with hCG, testicular blood flow was increased in the low dose group; the testosterone concentrations in peripheral and testicular venous blood were also increased to a greater extent than those of the control group. No difference was found between the high dose and control groups in testicular blood flow or testosterone concentrations. The morphology of the Leydig cells was apparently normal, although some degenerative changes in the germinal epithelium were observed in the high dose group. Therefore, there is no evidence in our experiment to show any anti-androgenic effect following 6-week treatment of gossypol in rats, even at the dose of 30 mg/kg day-1.     

Electron microscopy and hydrodynamic properties of blood clotting factor V and activation fragments of factor V with phospholipid vesicles

The electron microscopic and hydrodynamic properties of factor V and factor Va-vesicle complexes were determined. Images of negatively stained factor V bound to vesicles showed the protein as a relatively large globular domain (9.5 nm diameter) connected to the membrane through a narrow protein region 0.5-3 nm in length. This connecting region was not always visible and was measured as the distance between the globular region and the apparent vesicle edge. Factor V protein alone usually appeared as two connected globular regions of 10.2 and 6.5 nm diameter. The two-domain protein structure appeared consistent with both the image of factor V alone and bound to the membrane. Factor V had no biological activity in a phospholipid-free prothrombinase assay system used. The proteolytically activated form of factor V generated by digestion with thrombin (factor Va) was at least 30,000 times more active. The electron microscopic images of factor Va-vesicle complexes showed a smaller protein that was more closely associated with the vesicle surface than was factor V. The light chain (Mr about 80,000) component of factor Va also bound to the surface of the vesicles and appeared to be largely external to the membrane. Protein-induced hydrodynamic radius changes for the factor V-vesicle and factor Va-vesicle complexes were 12.8 and 6.3 nm, respectively. The images observed in the electron microscope were used to calculate protein-induced radius changes. Comparison of these values with the experimentally determined hydrodynamic radius changes showed approximate agreement for factor Va-membrane complexes. However, the images of factor V-vesicle complexes suggested smaller hydrodynamic radius changes than were actually observed.     

油松茎次生结构中树脂道的结构分布和发育的研究

油松茎的次生结构中树脂道存在于次生维管组织中。其中,次生木质部内具有水平的和垂直的两类树脂道,而次生韧皮部内则仅有水平的树脂道。两类树脂道都由上皮细胞和鞘细胞包围着胞间道构成,其中木质部内的树脂道具有死鞘细胞,而韧皮部中的则都系生活细胞。在心材中,垂直树脂道形成拟侵填体。在次生木质部内,垂直树脂道常分布于早材的外部区域和最初形成的晚材中,它们与水平树脂道连接,腔道贯通,从而形成二维网状结构。垂直树脂道来源于纺锤状原始细胞的衍生细胞,而水平树脂道来源于射线原始细胞,两者都以裂生方式发生。

Electron nuclear double resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance study on the structure of the NO-ligated heme alpha 3 in cytochrome c oxidase

The techniques of EPR and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) were used to probe structure and electronic distribution at the nitric oxide (NO)-ligated heme alpha 3 in the nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha 3 moiety of fully reduced cytochrome c oxidase. Hyperfine and quadrupole couplings to NO (in both 15NO and 14NO forms), to histidine nitrogens, and to protons near the heme site were obtained. Parallel studies were also performed on NO-ligated myoglobin and model NO-heme-imidazole systems. The major findings and interpretations on nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha 3 were: 1) compared to other NO-heme-imidazole systems, the nitrosylferrocytochrome alpha3 gave better resolution of EPR and ENDOR signals; 2) at the maximal g value (gx = 2.09), particularly well resolved NO nitrogen hyperfine and quadrupole couplings and mesoproton hyperfine couplings were seen. These hyperfine and quadrupole couplings gave information on the electronic distribution on the NO, on the orientation of the g tensor with respect to the heme, and possibly on the orientation of the FeNO plane; 3) a combination of experimental EPR-ENDOR results and EPR spectral simulations evidenced a rotation of the NO hyperfine tensor with respect to the electronic g tensor; this implied a bent Fe-NO bond; 4) ENDOR showed a unique proton not seen in the other NO heme systems studied. The magnitude of this proton's hyperfine coupling was consistent with this proton being part of a nearby protein side chain that perturbs an axial ligand like NO or O2.     

Quantum theory of nerve excitation

Based on quantum transitions of membrane dipoles, the four fundamental properties of nerve impulse are derived in this paper: the all-or-none response, the strength-duration relation, refractoriness and refractory period and frequency modulation. Furthermore, the theory offers a physical mechanism for nerve excitation similar to a two-level ammonia maser. It also implies non-threshold excitation at elevated temperatures. The role of trimethylamine ions near the surface of a phospholipid membrane is briefly discussed to indicate a possible connection between theory and reality.
