HBsAg重组DNA转化中国地鼠卵巢细胞二氢叶酸还原酶阴性突变株的细胞染色体变化及致瘤性

整合了含乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原(HBsAg)基因和dhfr基因的CHO-dhfr~-细胞,其染色体的畸变率和畸变类型都比亲代CHO-dhfr~-细胞高。但转化前后两系细胞的重要特性都未发生变异,即两者的染色体总数无差别,都是20条。两系细胞株接种裸鼠,均未发现有致瘤性。     

用免疫荧光单克隆抗体对脊髓灰质炎病毒抗原表位的分析

用间接免疫荧光与中和试验筛选出来的抗脊髓灰质炎2型与3型不同毒株的12个单克隆抗体,其中3个仅有免疫荧光活性,9个具有中和与免疫荧光活性。用免疫荧光活性的单克隆抗体进行试验,发现它们在识别特异性抗原表位方面与中和性单克隆抗体相似,显示出株特异的、几个毒株共同特异的或型特异的抗原表位。根据表位分布关系及特征,可以用来鉴别型内毒株的特征、毒株的抗原分析、抗原变异的研究以及疫苗相关病例的鉴别。所得结果与中和性单克抗隆抗体及T1-寡核苷酸指纹图谱分析一致。而免疫荧光单克隆抗体识别抗原表位的活性范围比中和性单克隆抗体更广。另外还发现某些兼有荧光与中和两活性的同一个单克隆抗体,用不同方法(IF与NT)进行试验时,与相同毒株出现不同表位反应,这点是值得引起注意需待进一步证实的重要问题。     

汉中地区引种油橄榄的生态环境及适应性研究

 本文根据生态环境因子的分析,对油橄榄在原产地和汉中地区引种的气温、降雨量(特别是降雨季节分配)和日照及土壤条件的分析研究表明：旱季灌溉和雨季排水,改善土壤的物理性,调正pH值及施钙、磷、硼等来补充某些生态因子的不足,并需选择适应我国气候条件的品种,才是引种的重要途径。     

高胆固醇高脂肪膳食对家兔β-VLDL组成及其与巨噬细胞相互作用的影响的初步研究

给家兔喂以1％胆固醇及10％菜油(A组)或猪油(B组)50多天后A组血胆固醇水平(824.2±265.1mg/dl)明显低于B组(1666±693.8mg/dl);A组甘油三酯水平(51.9±19.1mg/dl)亦低于B组(104±40.2mg/dl)。二组家兔的β—VLDL的脂类组成无差别,但A组β—VLDL的apoE高于B组,分别为45.2％及37.5％。高分子量apoB(apoB_h)为33.6％,低于B组β-VLDL(47.3％)。A组β-VLDL促进小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞胆固醇堆积的程度大于B组,可能与apoE含量高有关。我们认为多不饱和脂酸减轻动脉粥样硬化(As)的作用不在于改变脂蛋白构成后阻碍泡沫细胞的形成而是促进β—VLDL从体内清除。     

A duplex of the oligonucleotides d(GGGGGTTTTT) and d(AAAAACCCCC) forms an A to B conformational junction in concentrated salt solutions

The coexistence of both A form and B form tracts and formation of an A-B junction in the oligomer d(GGGGGTTTTT).d(AAAAACCCCC) in saturated sodium chloride solution have been detected by Raman spectroscopy. The entire duplex adopts the familiar B-form conformation in aqueous solution at low salt concentrations (0.1M NaCl). In 6M NaCl the adoption of an A form is observed within the G,C tract while a B-form is maintained in the A.T tract. The experimental results indicate that two different helical forms can co-exist in a rather short oligonucleotide and that formation of an A-B junction can occur over a fairly small span of bases. This is in agreement with recent rules governing the relation between base sequence and secondary structure of DNA published from this laboratory. The conformational preferences of each of the individual oligomers d(AAAAACCCCC) and d(GGGGGTTTTT) have also been investigated. The oligomer d(AAAAACCCCC) is single stranded but some evidence for base stacking is observed at 2 degrees C. In contrast, a double stranded B-form structure characterized by wobble G-T base pairing is observed for d(GGGGGTTTTT) in 0.1M and 6M NaCl.     

Interactions between a symmetrical minor groove binding compound and DNA oligonucleotides: 1H and 19F NMR studies

High-resolution NMR techniques (proton and 19F) have been used to study the interactions between several DNA oligonucleotides with varying length of AT base pairs and the synthetic pyrrole-containing compound (P1-F4S-P1), which has properties similar to the DNA minor groove binding drug distamycin A. When this two-fold symmetrical DNA binding molecule is added to the self-complementary DNA oligomers, the resulting complex exhibits an NMR spectrum without any doubling of individual resonances, consistent with a two-fold symmetry of the complex. This is in contrast to all other complexes studied so far. The minimum length of an AT stretch for specific ligand binding is judged to be greater than 4 base pairs. Inter-molecular proton nuclear Overhauser effects between the ligand molecule and a DNA dodecamer d(CGCAAATTTGCG) provide evidence that P1-F4S-P1 binds DNA in the minor groove and interacts with the middle AT base pairs. The presence of a specific interaction between P1-F4S-P1 and DNA is conclusively demonstrated by 19F NMR studies, in which four previously chemically equivalent fluorine nuclei in the free molecule become two non-equivalent pairs (yielding an AB quartet pattern) upon the binding of P1-F4S-P1 to DNA duplex. A sequence-dependent binding behavior of P1-F4S-P1 is evident by comparing the 19F NMR spectra of the complexes between P1-F4S-P1 and two different but related DNA dodecamers, d(CGCAAATTTGCG) and d(CGCTTTAAAGCG). P1-F4S-P1 binds more strongly to the former dodecamer with an association constant of approximately 1 X 10(3) M-1.     

Second virial coefficient of alpha-crystallin

Light scattering studies were performed on bovine alpha-crystallin measuring the scattering intensities as a function of scattering angle, concentration, and temperature. The data yielded the molecular weight, radius of gyration, and second virial coefficient of alpha-crystallin at different temperatures. The second virial coefficient increased with increasing temperature. Both the enthalpy and entropy of solution of alpha-crystallin are positive. The Flory theta temperature was found to be 271 K.     

Effect of hyperlipidemic serum on lipid peroxidation, synthesis of prostacyclin and thromboxane by cultured endothelial cells: protective effect of antioxidants

An increased lipid peroxides and a decreased production of prostacyclin have been shown in advanced atherosclerotic lesions and plasma. Our purpose was to determine whether the similar findings could be observed in cultured endothelial cells, and whether antioxidants could protect the cell against peroxide injury. In these experiments we have used bovine aortic endothelial cells in culture to address the issue of hyperlipidemia-induced arterial damage. Results of the present study showed that different concentration of hyperlipidemic sera from atherogenic rabbits induced a time- and dose-dependent alteration in the production of prostacyclin and levels of lipid peroxides in endothelial cells. Endothelial cells incubated with hyperlipidemic serum increased prostacyclin generation significantly during the initial stages and then continuously decreased. When endothelial cells were incubated for 36 h, TXA2 generation was also impaired and at the same time the cellular lipid peroxides content increased. There was a positive correlation between the concentration of hyperlipidemic serum and lipid peroxides and an inverse correlation with prostacyclin synthesis. The medium supplemented with antioxidant selenium or vitamin E showed a significant decrease in lipid peroxides and an increase in prostacyclin synthesis. These results suggest that both hyperlipidemic serum and lipid peroxides injury endothelial cells and inactivate prostacyclin synthetase, resulting in a decrease of prostacyclin production, while antioxidants have a protective effect. We conclude that the increase in lipid peroxides in association with hyperlipidemia results in alteration of prostacyclin synthesis that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
