本文用Ｈｅｌａ２２９细胞培养与单克隆抗体免疫荧光法对９４０例咽拭子及２２４例纤支镜取材标本进行肺炎衣原体分离鉴定。结果正常组、上呼吸道感染组、下呼吸道感染组、肺部肿瘤组的咽拭子标本分离率分别为０％（０／２４８）,２．１３％（１０／４６８）,２．１％（３／１４６）,１．２８％（１／７８）。上呼吸道感染组和下呼吸道感染组的分离率均高于正常组和肺部肿瘤组。前二组与正常组的差异有显著性意义（Ｐ＜０．０５）,与肿瘤组的差异无显著性意义（Ｐ＞０．０５）。下呼吸道感染组、肺部肿瘤组的纤支镜取材分离率分别为１０．９６％（     

Removal of Adsorbed Toxin Fragments That Modify Bacillus thuringiensis CryIC delta-Endotoxin Iodination and Binding by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Treatment and Renaturation

We report that 10- and 25-kDa toxin fragments adhere to CryIC prepared from Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystals, block iodination, and alter membrane binding. There is no apparent affect on CryIC toxicity against Spodoptera exigua. Associated peptides remained bound to CryIC in the presence of 50 mM dithiothreitol or 6 M urea. A novel detergent-renaturation procedure was developed for the purification of B. thuringiensis CryIC toxin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment followed by gel filtration chromatography yielded a homogeneous 62-kDa CryIC toxin. After removal of SDS and renaturation, the purified CryIC toxin was fully insecticidal to S. exigua larvae. I-labeled CryIC bound with high affinity to brush border membrane vesicles from S. exigua larvae.     

Characterization of proteins by means of their buffer capacity, measured with an ISFET-based coulometric sensor—actuator system

Proteins form the specific selector in many biochemical sensors. A change in one of the properties of such a protein has to be detected by an appropriate transducer, which completes the biochemical sensor. One of these properties is the buffer capacity of a protein. If the binding of a substance to a protein can significantly change the proton binding, which accounts for the buffer capacity of proteins, the detection of this changed buffer capacity enables the construction of a new type of biosensor.

It will be shown that the buffer capacity can be measured with an ISFET-based sensor—actuator device. The alternating generation of protons and hydroxyl ions by alternating current coulometry at a porous noble metal actuator electrode causes an associated small pH perturbation, which is detected by the underlying pH-sensitive ISFET. The amplitude of the measured signal is a function of the buffer capacity of the solute, in which proteins can be present (or these proteins can be adsorbed in the porous actuator electrode of the device). A model describing the transfer function from the electrical input signal of the actuator to the resulting chemical output, which is subsequently detected by the ISFET pH sensor, is presented. Preliminary results of the measured buffer capacity of ribonuclease and lysozyme are presented.     

甜菜碱对呼吸酶的保护效应

以菠菜（Ｓｐｉｎａｃｉａ ｏｌｅｒａｃｅａ Ｌ．）叶片为材料,研究了不同浓度的甜菜碱和ＮａＣｌ对三羧酸循环、末端氧化和光呼吸的组成酶的活性的影响。与电解质ＮａＣｌ不同,高浓度的甜菜碱对这些酶的活性是非抑制性的,并对ＮａＣｌ的抑制作用有一定保护效应。甜菜碱是很好的有机渗透调节剂。这与甜菜碱在细胞质中起渗透调节作用,以及是无机渗透调节剂的配伍溶质的假设是一致的。     

A simple procedure for the expression of genes in transgenic soybean callus tissue

Cotyledons from germinating seeds of the soybean cultivar Peking were inoculated with virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A281:pZA-7 which carries a wild type Ti plasmid pTiBo542 and a disarmed Ti plasmid (a binary vector)pZA-7 which contains the glucuronidase (uidA) and neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) genes. Tumors were produced on all inoculated explants and 82% of these tumor lines were cotransformed by the nptII gene from the binary vector pZA-7 as shown by PCR analysis (18 of 22 lines tested). Eleven of these 18 lines were also resistant to kanamycin. Eleven lines expressed -glucuronidase activity (GUS), six of which were also kanamycin resistant. Since there is a high rate of coexpression of genes carried by the binary vector, this system provides a simple and rapid method for the expression of genes of interest in transformed soybean tissue which has been used successfully to test constructs designed for soybean transformation.

分泌载体pUS186的构建及地衣杆菌α－淀粉酶基因在枯草杆菌中的表达和分泌

利用枯草杆菌的分泌系统构建分泌型表达载体表达和分泌外源基因产物具有重要的商业价值。我们用鸟枪法克隆了枯草杆菌染色体的启动子和信号肽序列,将克隆的序列连接到能在枯草杆菌中复制的质粒ｐＵＢ１８上,获得分泌型表达载体ｐＵＳ１８６。为了测试构建的载体ｐＵＳ１８６的功能,将地衣杆菌α－淀粉酶基因的缺失了启动子和信号肽序列的片段重组进该质粒,经过Ｂａｌ３１酶切,Ｔ４ＤＮＡ聚合酶补齐等处理,获得ｐＵＳＡ１８６Ⅱ及ｐＵＳＡ１８６Ⅰ系列质粒,将这些重组质粒转化枯草杆菌ＱＢ１１３０（ａｍｙ－）后都能向胞外分泌淀粉酶,酶活测定结果表明,基因表达水平比用原有的启动子高１－２倍,蛋白质分泌率在８４－９６％之间。
