精制白喉毒素加β—丙氨酸后脱毒效果观察

精制白喉毒素加０．０２Ｍβ—丙氨酸,再加甲醛溶液经适当的时间解毒,即可转化为完全类毒化且无毒性逆转的精制白喉类毒素。此精白类的脱毒试验、毒性逆转试验、安全试验及效力试验均符合《中国生物制品规程》要求。在脱毒过程中絮状单位的损失明显低于单纯甲醛脱毒者,纯度亦相应得到了提高。     

外源酚对凤眼莲体内酚含量和与酚代谢有关酶的影响

凤眼莲能够吸收和在体内聚集外源苯酚,体内的酸含量随着环境中酚浓度的上升而上升。从生长于合酚培养液中的凤眼莲体内能够检测到酚糖苷,说明凤眼莲体内有酚精苷转移酶的存在。浓度小于５０ｍｇ／Ｌ的外源酚能提高凤眼莲体内的多酚氧化酶和过氧化物酶的活性。多酚氯化酶与过氧化物酶在线粒体和微粒体中均有不同程度的分布,而酚糖苷转移酶则不存在于这些细胞器中。     

Capsid assembly and involved function analysis of twelve core protein mutants of duck hepatitis B virus.

The roles of different regions of the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) core protein on viral capsid assembly and related functions were examined. Twelve deletion and insertion mutations which covered 80% of the DHBV C open reading frame were constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. The N-terminal region (amino acids 3 to 66) of DHBV core protein was important for its tertiary structure and function in E. coli. The expressed core mutants without this region apparently inhibited E. coli growth. The results of transmission electron microscopy of E. coli thin sections, capsid agarose gel, and sucrose gradient sedimentation demonstrated that a few DHBV core mutants with insertion in the N terminus and deletion in the C terminus retained the ability to form core-like particles in E. coli. However, other mutations in most of N-terminal and central regions strongly inhibited the self-assembly ability of DHBV core protein in E. coli. In addition, the mutant with a C-terminal region deletion (amino acids 181 to 228) lost most of the nucleic acid-binding activity of the DHBV core protein.     

Deletion mapping of the rotavirus metalloprotein NS53 (NSP1): the conserved cysteine-rich region is essential for virus-specific RNA binding.

NS53 (NSP1), the gene 5 product of the group A rotaviruses, is a minor nonstructural protein of 486 to 495 amino acids which binds zinc and contains an amino-terminal highly conserved cysteine-rich region that may form one or two zinc fingers. To study the structure-function of the gene 5 product, wild-type and mutant forms of NS53 were produced by using a recombinant baculovirus expression system and a recombinant vaccinia virus/T7 (vTF7-3) expression system. Analysis of the RNA-binding activity of the wild-type NS53 immobilized onto protein A-Sepharose beads with NS53-specific antiserum showed that the protein exhibited specific affinity for all 11 rotavirus mRNAs. The use of short virus-specific RNA probes indicated that NS53 specifically recognizes an element located near the 5' ends of viral mRNAs. Analysis of the RNA-binding activity of deletion mutants of NS53 showed that the RNA-binding domain resides within the first 81 amino acids of the protein and that the highly conserved cysteine-rich region within this region of the protein is essential for the activity. Gel electrophoresis and Western immunoblot analyses of intracellular fractions derived from infected cells revealed that large amounts of NS53 were present in the cytosol and in association with the cytoskeletal matrix. Indirect immunofluorescence analysis of cells programmed to transiently express mutant forms of NS53 using vTF7-3 indicated that the intracellular localization domain resides between amino acids 84 and 176 of NS53. Together, these data show that the RNA-binding domain and the intracellular localization domain lie upstream from the region of NS53 previously determined not to be essential for replication of rotaviruses in cell culture (J. Hua and J. T. Patton, Virology 198:567-576, 1994).     

姬缘蝽科系统发育初探：（异翅亚目：缘蝽总科）

本文通过对姬缘蝽科１４属的比较形态学研究,以支序分析方法探讨了各类间的系统发育关系,３其结果证明姬缘蝽科为一明显单系群,并支持Ｃｈｏｐｒａ（１９６７）系统中大部分族的划分意见,但因支序图中玛缘蝽族和姬缘蝽亚科为并系群,从而对Ｃｈｏｐｒａ系统中亚科的划分及玛缘蝽族是否成立提出疑问,并认为已有系统中的“红缘蝽亚科”应降为族级。文中还将支序分析结果与经前作者的系统发育意见相比较,认为本文所提出的关于该科
