Ascaris suum: specific antibodies in isolated intestinal loop washings from immunized swine.

Six pigs had been immunized with multiple dose of embryonated eggs and an isolated intestinal loop was prepared in each animal. Specific antibodies to Ascaris suum were detected in the soluble protein fraction of washings from the intestinal loops using an indirect fluorescent antibody test. The specific antibodies belonged to the IgA, IgG and IgE classes of immunoglobulins. In contrast, specific antibodies were not detected in the soluble protein fraction from the accumulated fluid from the intestinal loop of one pig. Soluble proteins from the washings of intestinal loops consisted of serum albumin, a large molecular size glycoprotein, and variable amounts of several α-globulins, transferrin, and immunoglobulins. The individual soluble protein solutions were efficiently fractionated using DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-200, and Sepharose 6B Chromatographic columns.     

Separation of two HMM-S1 species from white muscle myosin

Heavy meromyosin subfragment 1 was resolved by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose into two fractions characterized by the nature of the alkali light chains present. It was shown that even in an HMM-S1 preparation with an extensive fragmentation of the heavy chain a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis differentiates alkali light chains among the light fragmentation components. A non-fragmented HMM-S1 was obtained from a papain digest of myofibrils and the chromatographic analysis supplied further evidence of the separation of the two species of HMM-S1 present in rabbit white muscle myosin.     

Serum Proteins Promoting [3H]Thymidine Uptake by Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi (Chagas) in vitro

SYNOPSIS. Five proteins capable of stimulating [³H]thymidine uptake by Trypanosoma cruzi in vitro were isolated from fetal calf serum by (NH₄)₂SO₄ precipitation and ion exchange column chromatography. The proteins were partially characterized by immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis, and SDS electrophoresis. As estimated by SDS electrophoresis, using 4 standards, the molecular weight of protein 1 was 100,000, that of protein 2 was 76,000. and that of proteins 3–5 was 68,000 daltons.     

传统豆酱发酵过程中细菌多样性动态

细菌在豆酱发酵过程中起到非常重要的作用,并与豆酱的风味和质量密切相关,因此研究豆酱中细菌的多样性具有重要意义。以自然发酵的豆酱样品为研究对象,采用细菌16S rDNA的部分可变区的PCR-DGGE技术对自然发酵豆酱样品的细菌群落组成和优势菌群进行研究。结果表明,传统豆酱发酵过程细菌群体中既有原始种群的减少和增长,也有次级种群的增多和演变。在整个发酵过程中,初期和末期以不可培养细菌为主,初期细菌群体快速演替,细菌种群多样性指数在发酵42 d和56 d达到两次高峰。

A Double-Isotope Procedure for Examining Protein Microheterogeneity: Multiple Forms of Fast-Transported Glycoproteins and Sulfoproteins Possess a Common Polypeptide Chain

Several fast-transported proteins that appear as single bands after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolve into multiple spots during isoelectric focusing. A method was devised for determining if such microheterogeneity in net charge indicates that individual polypeptides have been posttranslationally modified to differing extents. Dorsal root ganglia were pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine and either [3H]leucine or [3H]proline, proteins fast-transported into peripheral sensory axons were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and isotope incorporation ratios of proteins associated with individual gel spots were determined. When four microheterogeneous glycoproteins were analyzed, each protein "family" showed markedly similar isotope ratios for its three to seven characteristic spots. Such ratios differed between families by almost twofold. In addition, a group of nonglycosylated, sulfate-containing proteins was identified as a family on the basis of the similar isotope incorporation ratios of its component spots. These results suggest that protein microheterogeneity can result from variable sulfation of tyrosine residues as well as from variation in sialic acid-containing oligosaccharide side-chains. More generally, the method can be utilized to test for protein microheterogeneity in cases where the amounts of protein are too low to permit peptide mapping analysis and where the nature of the charge-altering modification is unknown.

Identification of some chromosomes of the brewing yeast Saccharomyces uvarum

Abstract Chromosomal DNA molecules of Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were separated using Orthogonal Field Alteration Gel Electrophoresis (OFAGE). Hybridization with specific probes of S. cerevisiae chromosomes allowed the identification of seven chromosomes of S. uvarum . The majority of the studied chromosomal DNA molecules show the same OFAGE mobility as the corresponding molecules of S. cerevisiae , with some minor differences.
Hybridizations with two distinct bands of S. uvarum were observed with each URA1 (marker of chromosome XI) and ARG80 (marker of chromosome XIII) probes, demonstrating the presence of at least two copies of these genes in the brewing yeast.     

真鲷野生群体和人工繁殖群体的同酶遗传差异

采用水平淀粉凝胶电泳技术对采集于黄海海州湾海域的真鲷野生群体和经过 2代人工繁育的养殖群体进行了同工酶遗传变异研究。分析检测了 2个群体各 50个样本肌肉和肝脏组织的 1 3种同工酶共 2 0个基因位点 ,其中MDH_a、GPI、PGM等 1 0个位点为多态位点 ,ME和EST_b为变异程度比较高的位点。野生群体和人工繁殖群体的多态位点比例分别为 45%和 2 5% (P0 .95) ;群体平均观察杂合度分别为 0 .1 41± 0 .0 4 4和 0 .0 95± 0 .0 4 3。结果表明 ,真鲷的野生群体和养殖群体拥有较高程度的遗传变异水平 ,但是养殖群体的遗传变异水平比野生群体有一定程度的降低。养殖群体遗传变异水平的降低在一定程度上是由于亲鱼数量少所致。比较了同工酶分析和RAPD分析的结果。将此两种技术相结合在鱼类群体遗传多样性分析中具有比较实际的意义。
