Using histochemical and immunocytochemical techniques, a lectin with nominal specificity for alpha-linked N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), was found to preferentially label thymocytes with an L3T4-, Lyt-2- phenotype from fetal/newborn and adult mice. Through days 14 to 16 of gestation, virtually all thymocytes bound DBA, followed by a dramatic reduction of DBA labeling during the last 4 days of gestation, reaching adult levels of about 2 to 4% of total thymocytes. At later stages of fetal development, the DBA+ cells were confined to the subcapsular area of the thymus. This apparent loss of DBA+ cells was caused by an expansion of the thymocyte population not labeled with this lectin. Affinity purification of thymocyte cell surface components with insolubilized DBA indicated that virtually all of the lectin binding to fetal thymocytes was mediated by a 120-kDa glycoprotein. In addition to thymocytes, DBA also labeled about 5% of bone marrow cells from both normal or nude mice and a small population of spleen cells as well. These results suggest that this lectin may be useful to positively select for LT34-, Lyt-2- thymocytes, and, possibly, other immature populations within the T cell lineage. 相似文献

Normal mice were injected with IL-7 (500 ng, twice daily) for various periods of time up to 6 days and the cellularity and phenotypic composition of the thymus, spleen, lymph node, and bone marrow was assessed. After 6 days of treatment, significant increases in the cellularity of the spleen, lymph node, and bone marrow were observed which returned to the normal range within 6 days after cessation of treatment. After 3 days of IL-7 treatment, increased numbers of B220+/surface(s) IgM- bone marrow cells were observed. After 6 days of treatment, these numbers were still further increased and a significant population of B220+/sIgM- cells were observed in the spleen. The numbers of c mu+/sIgM- cells were also increased in the IL-7-treated mice. Analysis of the expression of B220 and BP-1 on the sIgM- bone marrow cells revealed that the B220+/BP-1+ population was dramatically increased after IL-7 treatment and the size of the B220+/BP-1- population did not differ from control mice. The pre-B cell numbers declined rapidly after the cessation of IL-7 treatment. After 6 days of IL-7 treatment, a twofold increase in the number of B cells in the spleen and lymph node was observed. The B cell numbers declined to normal values within 6 days after the cessation of IL-7 administration. In the spleens of the IL-7-treated mice, there was a significant increase in the number of B cells with an immature phenotype (e.g., sIgMhi/sIgDlo, decreased levels of Ia and FcR expression). The numbers of CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were also increased in the lymph node and spleen of the IL-7-treated mice. These numbers declined to normal levels after the cessation of IL-7 treatment. 相似文献

Background
Common structural biology methods (i.e., NMR and molecular dynamics) often produce ensembles of molecular structures. Consequently, averaging of 3D coordinates of molecular structures (proteins and RNA) is a frequent approach to obtain a consensus structure that is representative of the ensemble. However, when the structures are averaged, artifacts can result in unrealistic local geometries, including unphysical bond lengths and angles. 相似文献6.
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) released in waste from animal feeding operations can stimulate phytoplankton biomass production
in local receiving waters. Changes in weekly wet atmospheric N and P were measured from 2005 to 2008 at monitoring stations
located 0.8, 7.9, and 10.3 km downwind from a new chicken egg production facility on the Albemarle Peninsula, North Carolina.
After this farm began operating, there was a significant doubling in mean wet NH4
+ concentrations (465–1,022 μg l−1) at 0.8 km with no change at the other sites. To measure the phytoplankton responses to nutrient enrichment, we conducted
seasonal N and P enrichment bioassays from 2006 to 2008 on nearby Phelps Lake and Alligator River. These low-nutrient waters
responded to nutrient additions, with the highest increases in phytoplankton primary productivity (14C uptake) and biomass (chlorophyll a) occurring in the combined N and P treatments suggesting co-limitation of N and P. Although we did not find an increased
nutrient signal in precipitation at sites >0.8 km from the farm, there is the potential for atmospheric deposition of N to
these and other waters located N/NE of the farm given prevailing winds and distance that NH4
+ aerosols can travel. Furthermore, surface runoff from the farm may impact receiving waters downstream (e.g., Pungo and Pamlico
Rivers). In order to prevent excessive phytoplankton productivity and biomass both N and P inputs should be carefully assessed
and potentially controlled in these nutrient-sensitive waters. 相似文献

We report a high-sensitivity cell secretome detection method using competitive immuno-aggregation and a micro-Coulter counter. A target cell secretome protein competes with anti-biotin-coated microparticles (MPs) to bind with a biotinylated antibody (Ab), causing decreased aggregation of the functionalized MPs and formation of a mixture of MPs and aggregates. In comparison, without the target cell secretome protein, more microparticles are functionalized, and more aggregates are formed. Thus, a decrease in the average volume of functionalized microparticles/aggregates indicates an increase in cell secretome concentration. This volume change is measured by the micro-Coulter counter, which is used to quantitatively estimate the cell secretome concentration. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), one of the key cell secretome proteins that regulate angiogenesis and vascular permeabilization, was used as the target protein to demonstrate the sensing principle. A standard calibration curve was generated by testing samples with various VEGF concentrations. A detection range from 0.01 ng/mL to 100.00 ng/mL was achieved. We further demonstrated the quantification of VEGF concentration in exogenous samples collected from the secretome of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) at different incubation times. The results from the assay agree well with the results of a parallel enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) test, indicating the specificity and reliability of the competitive immuno-aggregation assay. With its simple structure and easy sample preparation, this assay not only enables high sensitivity detection of VEGF but also can be readily extended to other types of cell secretome analysis as long as the specific Ab is known. 相似文献

The total size of the world population is likely to increase from its current 7 billion to 8–10 billion by 2050. This uncertainty is because of unknown future fertility and mortality trends in different parts of the world. But the young age structure of the population and the fact that in much of Africa and Western Asia, fertility is still very high makes an increase by at least one more billion almost certain. Virtually, all the increase will happen in the developing world. For the second half of the century, population stabilization and the onset of a decline are likely. In addition to the future size of the population, its distribution by age, sex, level of educational attainment and place of residence are of specific importance for studying future food security. The paper provides a detailed discussion of different relevant dimensions in population projections and an evaluation of the methods and assumptions used in current global population projections and in particular those produced by the United Nations and by IIASA. 相似文献
