自然杀伤细胞在肿瘤免疫治疗中的作用

自然杀伤(NK)细胞是人体先天免疫的核心组成部分,是肿瘤细胞免疫治疗和抗体免疫治疗的基础.NK细胞通过直接杀伤作用和释放细胞因子来共同控制肿瘤的生长和转移.目前,已开发出多种利用激活的NK细胞治疗肿瘤的方案.然而,癌症患者的NK细胞功能受损,抗癌能力下降,均限制了NK 细胞的临床疗效 .新的方案通过提高NK细胞的数量和杀伤功能来改善治疗效果. 利用体外长期激活、大规模培养临床使用的NK细胞是达成上述效果的最佳方法之一. 本综述讨论了NK细胞研究背景,NK细胞治疗的现状,尤其是体外培养扩增具有较强功能NK细胞的新方案.

分子标记辅助改良杂交稻协优57及其父母本的蒸煮食味品质

协优57是一个产量高和适应性强的杂交中籼组合,但由于其父母本直链淀粉含量（AC）高,导致杂交稻米的AC较高、蒸煮食味品质较差。先前利用PCR-AccⅠ分子标记辅助选择对协优57的亲本057[恢复系,记作057（GG）]和协青早A[不育系,记作协A（GG）]的W x基因进行改良。利用改良前、后的各亲本分别配组,分析不同组合的AC、食味品质和颗粒性淀粉结合酶（GBSS）活性。结果表明,改良单亲的GT型组合协A（GG）×057（TT）、协A（TT）×057（GG）杂交稻米的AC由原组合协A（GG）×057（GG）的28%分别降到19.9%和19.3%,但均一性较差。改良双亲的TT纯合型组合协A（TT）×057（TT）的杂交稻米,不仅AC降到中等偏低水平（13.1%）,而且AC的均一性也有了很大的提高,蒸煮食味品质明显改善。GBSS活性分析表明：三种W x基因型的GBSS活性总体表现为GG〉GT〉TT。

Identification of QTLs for seed germination capability after various storage periods using two RIL populations in rice

Seed germination capability of rice is one of the important traits in the production and storage of seeds. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with seed germination capability in various storage periods was identified using two sets of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) which derived from crosses between Milyang 23 and Tong 88-7 (MT-RILs) and between Dasanbyeo and TR22183 (DT-RILs). A total of five and three main additive effects (QTLs) associated with seed germination capability were identified in MT-RILs and DT-RILs, respectively. Among them, six QTLs were identified repeatedly in various seed storage periods designated as qMT-SGC5.1, qMT-SGC7.2, and qMT-SGC9.1 on chromosomes 5, 7, and 9 in MT-RILs, and qDT-SGC2.1, qDT-SGC3.1, and qDT-SGC9.1 on chromosomes 2, 3, and 9 in DT-RILs, respectively. The QTL on chromosome 9 was identified in both RIL populations under all three storage periods, explaining up to 40% of the phenotypic variation. Eight and eighteen pairs additive × additive epistatic effect (epistatic QTL) were identified in MT-RILs and DT-RILs, respectively. In addition, several near isogenic lines (NILs) were developed to confirm six repeatable QTL effects using controlled deterioration test (CDT). The identified QTLs will be further studied to elucidate the mechanisms controlling seed germination capability, which have important implications for long-term seed storage.     

Pharmacophore-based strategy for the development of general and specific scFv biosensors for abused antibiotics

We developed fluorescent biosensor systems that are either general or selective to fluoroquinolone antibiotics by using a single-chain variable-fragment (scFv) as a recognition element. The selectivity of these biosensors to fluoroquinolone antibiotics was rationally tuned through the structural modification on the pharmacophore of fluoroquinolone antibiotics and the subsequent selection of scFv receptor modules against these antibiotics-based antigens using phage display. The resulting A2 and F9 scFv's bound to their representative antigen with a moderate affinity (K(D) in micromolar range as determined by surface plasmon resonance). A2 is a specific binder for enrofloxacin and did not cross-react with other fluoroquinolone antibiotics including structurally similar ciprofloxacin, while F9 is a general fluoroquinolone binder that likely bound to the antigen at the common pyridone-carboxylic acid pharmacophore. These scFv-based receptors were successfully applied to the development of one-step fluorescent biosensor which can detect fluoroquinolone antibiotics at concentrations below the level suggested in animal drug application guidelines. The strategy described in this report can be applied to developing convenient field biosensors that can qualitatively detect overused/misused antibiotics in the livestock drinking water.
