I型马立克氏病毒38kD磷蛋白与Ⅱ和Ⅲ型病毒间的交叉免疫反应

由致病性Ⅰ型马立克氏病病毒(MDV)特异性的单克隆抗体H_(19)制备亲和层析柱,从感染重组杆状病毒BP38Ⅱ的昆虫细胞系Sf9细胞中提纯MDV的pp38基因表达产物,以此免疫小鼠制备抗血清,测定其与不同型MDV毒株感染的鸡胚成纤维细胞免疫反应性,同时也用不同型MDV毒株(HVT,Z4)制备的抗血清和自然感染发病鸡血清分别与感染重组病毒的Sf9细胞进行免疫交叉反应.试验结果表明,完整的Ⅰ型MDV来源的pp38基因产物与所试Ⅱ型Z4株和Ⅲ型HVT Fc126毒株在抗原性上有显著交叉反应.这一结果表明,在Ⅱ型和Ⅲ型MDV毒株中可能存在着pp38的类似物.

New and interesting species ofEmericella from Chinese soil

Emericella miyajii, a new species isolated from Chinese soil, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by pale orange to brownish orange colonies on malt extract agar, subglobose to broadly elliptical ascospores with defective four equatorial crests and smooth convex walls, and with anAspergillus anamorph.Emericella undulata is also described as an uncommon species from Chinese soil.     

Potent inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in primary T cells and alveolar macrophages by a combination anti-Rev strategy delivered in an adeno-associated virus vector.

The rate of viral replication appears to play a pivotal role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) pathogenesis and disease progression as it outstrips the capacity of the immune system to respond. Important cellular sites for HIV-1 production include T lymphocytes and tissue macrophages. Antiviral strategies, including newer treatment modalities such as gene therapy of HIV-1-susceptible cell populations, must be capable of engendering durable inhibitory effects to HIV-1 replication in both of these primary cell types in order to be effective. Among the potential genetic targets for intervention in the HIV-1 life cycle, the Rev regulatory system, consisting of Rev and its binding site, the Rev-responsive element (RRE), stands out as particularly attractive. Rev is essential for maintaining the stability of the viral genomic RNA as well as viral mRNAs encoding key structural and regulatory proteins. Moreover, it exhibits favorable threshold kinetics, in that Rev concentrations must rise above a critical level to exert their effect. To disable Rev function, primary T cells or macrophages were transduced with anti-Rev single-chain immunoglobulin (SFv) or RRE decoy genes either singly or in combination by employing adeno-associated virus vectors and then challenged with HIV-1. By directing both a protein and a nucleic acid against the normal interaction between Rev and the RRE, this genetic antiviral strategy effectively inhibited infection by either clinical or laboratory virus isolates. These results provide a framework for novel interventions to reduce virus production in the infected host.     

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in China

Thirty strains of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were isolated from rabbits (17 strains), wild rats (9 strains) and house rats (4 strains) in China between 1990 and 1993. The biochemical properties of these isolates were identical with those of Y. pseudotuberculosis and no special characteristics were found in these strains. Serologically, serogroups 4b and 5b were identical to isolates found in Japan, and a new serogroup 1c and unclassified strains have also been detected. The existence of virulence-associated properties were different among strains. The pYV plasmid was detected from 6 strains of 30 isolates. This report documents the presence of Y. pseudotuberculosis in China, providing important epidemiological information.
