Nucleoprotein and membrane protein genes are associated with restriction of replication of influenza A/Mallard/NY/78 virus and its reassortants in squirrel monkey respiratory tract.

An avian influenza A virus, A/Mallard/NY/6750/78(H2N2), was restricted in in replication in the respiratory tract of squirrel monkeys. Avian-human influenza A reassortant viruses possessing the six RNA segments coding for nonsurface proteins (i.e., internal genes) of this avian virus were as restricted in replication in squirrel monkeys as their avian influenza parent. These findings indicated that restriction of replication of the avian influenza virus is a function of one or more of its internal genes. For an investigation of which of the avian influenza genes was responsible for restricted replication in the respiratory tract of primates, reassortant viruses were produced that contained human influenza virus surface antigens from the A/Udorn/72(H3N2) virus and one or more of the internal genes derived from the avian influenza virus parent. Avian-human reassortant influenza A viruses containing only the nucleoprotein or matrix protein RNA segment from the avian influenza virus parent were as restricted in their growth as an avian-human influenza reassortant virus containing each of the six avian influenza internal genes. In addition, an avian-human influenza reassortant virus possessing only the avian RNA 1 and nonstructural genes (which by themselves do not specify restricted replication) manifested a significant reduction of virus replication in squirrel monkey tracheas. Thus, the avian nucleoprotein and matrix genes appear to play a major role in the host range restriction exhibited by the A/Mallard/78 virus and its reassortants, but the combination of RNA 1 and nonstructural genes also contributes to restriction of replication.     

基因型和胚龄对小麦未成熟胚离体培养反应的影响

本文对34种基因型的小麦未成熟胚在离体培养中的反应进行了比较。结果表明,94％的供试基因型愈伤组织诱导率都可达到80％以上,若排除供体植株环境条件的不同和接种过程中的人为因素可能造成的影响,不同基因型的愈伤组织诱导率看来没有根本的差异。愈伤组织分化率因基因型的不同变动在0—60％之间,平均为32.7％。虽然同一基因型的盾片愈伤组织分化率在不同年份中有所不同,但是愈伤组织是否具有再生能力?看来是个稳定的遗传性状。因此小麦未成熟胚对愈伤组织诱导的反应和愈伤组织的再生能力可能具有不同的遗传基础。本文的结果还表明,虽然最适于培养的未成熟胚的大小为1毫米左右,伹小至0.3毫米的未成熱胚仍能以几乎100％的频率形成愈伤组织,60％左右的愈伤组织能分化出再生檀株,只是所需的时间比1毫米左右的胚较长。     

棉属栽培种与野生种杂交的不亲和性

本文研究了棉属栽培种与野生种杂交的不亲和性,试验材料涉及5个染色体组,包括2个栽培种(陆地棉和中棉)和5个野生种(戴维逊氏棉、瑟伯氏棉、三裂棉、阿拉伯棉和比克氏棉)。以陆地棉作母本,异己花粉管在花柱中生长缓慢,有花粉管胚珠低于10%,陆地棉×戴维逊氏棉杂种胚在子叶期坏死。以中棉作母本,不亲和性主要表现在受精后的胚胎发育过程中。

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。     

糙叶败酱挥发油镇静作用的研究

本文观察了败酱科植物糙叶败酱(Patrinia scabra Bunge)根和根茎中制得的挥发油的镇静作用,井与黄花败酱挥发油做了比较。结果表明,此油灌胃给予数组小鼠,剂量0.45ml/kg,显示如下的作用:[1]能显著延长由于腹腔注射戊巴比妥钠(50mg/kg)引起的小鼠睡眠时间,但其作用强度弱于黄花败酱挥发油。(2)一次灌胃给予小鼠大剂量10.46g/kg的糙叶败酱挥发油,连续观察10天,动物外观正常,无一死亡,体重增加与对照组相似。

High frequency differences between high and low voltage electrocorticograms in the ovine fetus

Dawes (1986) has stated that, "The difference between high and low voltage activity depends solely on the presence in the latter of higher amplitude oscillations with relatively low frequency superimposed on the low voltage components as shown by spectral analysis". We have tested the constancy of the high frequency section of the power spectrum of the electrocorticogram in 7 near-term sheep fetuses. Under sterile conditions we implanted biparietal electrodes in the dura and a ground lead subcutaneously on the scalp. Five days after the surgery, with the animal standing quietly in the laboratory, we acquired the fetal electrocorticograms. Data were acquired during several high and low voltage electrocorticographic cycles in each animal. Two hundred power spectra were obtained during high and low voltage fetal electrocortical activity and statistically analyzed by paired t-test to discern differences in power between the high and low voltage pattern at each frequency (n = 7). We found that at all frequencies between 4 and 12 cycles/s the high voltage electrocorticogram had significantly more power than the low voltage electrocorticogram (P less than 0.05). This is in accordance with the established literature. We also observed that from 17 through 24 cycles/s the low voltage electrocorticogram is significantly higher than the high voltage electrocorticogram (P less than 0.05). In this frequency range the power of the high voltage expressed as a percentage of the power of the low voltage were respectively, 80, 74, 71, 66, 64, 64, 67, 64. These differences are of considerable magnitude and may be physiologically important.
