Mouse hybridoma cells, secreting monoclonal antibodies (MCA) against tomato spotted wilt virus, were produced and screened for virus specificity by an indirect triple antibody ELISA, using a rabbit polyclonal antiserum for antigen trapping. A Bulgarian virus isolate from tobacco was used for immunisation of mice and rabbits. One fusion eventually led to 10 stable hybridoma cell lines, all of which produced antibodies of IgG-type though of different subgroups. Since none of the MCAs reacted with TSWV structural proteins after electrophoresis and transfer to nitrocellulose, other methods were chosen to examine their protein specificity. Purified viral cores and detergent-solubilised envelope proteins were used as antigens for ELISA, or, alternatively, glycosylated viral envelope proteins were trapped onto microtitre plates coated with lectins in order to detect MCAs specific for them. Both methods, independently, led to the identification of two MCAs that were specific for envelope proteins of TSWV. Only these two antibodies reacted with intact TSWV particles when examined by immunogold labelling in the electron microscope. The reaction of all MCAs with 11 different TSWV isolates eventually led to the selection of one core- and one envelope-specific antibody for routine use. Core-specific MCAs revealed serological differences between isolates belonging to the common serotype (= lettuce serotype), but did not react with the serotype TSWV-I. When comparing different ELISA procedures, broadest reactivity and highest sensitivity with different isolates were obtained in an indirect test procedure, using goat anti-mouse antibody conjugates. 相似文献

Structural abnormalities include various types of translocations, inversions, deletions, duplications and isochromosomes. Structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome are estimated to affect less than 1% of the newborn male population and are particularly hazardous for male reproductive function. The objective of this study was to characterize a group of patients with structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome. All patients who visited our laboratory between 2007 and 2010 underwent cytogenetic investigations. Among these, we detected 26 patients with structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome. To confirm the structural Y chromosome alterations, we used special bandings, FISH and multiplex PCR to detect Y chromosome microdeletions. Of the 26 patients presented here, 11 had an isodicentric Y chromosome, 7 had an inversion, 3 had a translocation, 2 had a derivative, 2 had a Yqs and 1 had a deletion. Sixteen were diagnosed with azoospermia, 8 as normal fertile males and 1 as a man who was unable to donate semen due to mental retardation. One of the patients having 45,X/46,X,idic(Y) was reported to be phenotypically female with primary amenorrhea and without uterus. Deletions of the AZFbc region were correlated with the sperm concentration (p < 0.05), but no correlation with the levels of FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin and estradiol were found. The present report shows that the precise identification of structural Y chromosome aberrations may be clinically important for genetic counseling and assisted reproductive technology treatment. 相似文献

A disease characterised by severely stunted plants with small dark green leaves was found in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) in sandy soils in Punjab State, India. The disease occurred in patches in the field and reappeared in the same positions in succeeding groundnut crops. Plants infected early did not produce mature pods. Seeds sown in soil collected from infected fields produced plants with typical disease symptoms. Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Local and Chenopodium quinoa were found to be good diagnostic hosts. The disease was shown to be caused by a rod-shaped virus c. 24 nm in diameter with predominant particle lengths of c. 249 and 184 nm when stained in uranyl acetate. The virus, named Indian peanut clump virus (IPCV), resembled peanut clump virus (PCV) reported from W. Africa in symptomatology on groundnuts, particle morphology and soil-borne nature. However, it is not serologically related to two W. African PCV isolates tested, or to tobacco rattle (PRN and CAM strains) or pea early browning virus (Dutch isolate) in microprecipitin, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and immunosorbent electron microscopy tests. 相似文献

A disease showing chlorosis, leaf rolling and stunting in Vicia faba and other legumes was observed in West Asia and North Africa during 1987–1988. The putative causal agent could not be transmitted mechanically, but could be transmitted by aphids, most efficiently by Acyrthosiphon pisum, in the persistent manner. Further studies revealed isometric virus-like particles (VLPs) closely associated with the disease, although their infectivity could not be demonstrated by membrane feeding. These particles, measuring c. 18 nm in diameter and containing a capsid protein of about 22 kDa and ssDNA of about 1 kb, are hereafter designated faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV). A high proportion of circular nucleic acid molecules of about 0.9 kb were visualised by electron microscopy. Hybridisation analysis of cloned viral DNA suggests that the circular genome is larger than 1 kb and consists of several components of similar size. An antiserum produced against FBNYV was used in ELISA, immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) and Western blot experiments for virus detection in aphids and field samples and for serological comparison with other viruses. Weak heterologous reactions between FBNYV and subterranean clover stunt virus (SCSV) were detected in IEM, but could not be confirmed in ELISA or Western blots. No serological relationship to banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) was detected. Using a direct tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA), FBNYV was detected in vascular tissue of infected faba bean leaves and stems. 相似文献

The effect of four fungicides (benomyl, carbendazim, triadimefon and sulp hur), used in intensive barley cropping on the epidemiology of Drechslera teres f. maculata and f. teres, was investigated under a controlled environment. Two fungicides (benomyl and carbendazim) increased disease development, especially at the recommended field rate, sulphur had the same effect at lower concentrations and triadimefon promoted net blotch caused by D. teres f. teres. At the recommended field rate, carbendazim enhanced sporulation in the two pathogen forms, whereas benomyl and sulphur enhanced 14 sporulation only on the maculata form. The results showed that, under controlled conditions, most of the fungicides promotednet blotch development and that sporulation increased either as a result of the pathogen form or of the concentration of the active ingredient. 相似文献

Photoreceptor cells of vertebrate eyes are fundamentally different from those of invertebrate eyes. New work on the brain of a ragworm now suggests that ancestral bilaterians possessed both types of photoreceptor cell. 相似文献

During the rapid filling phase of the heart cycle, the internal volumes of the two ventricular cavities approximately double, while the intraventricular pressures rise typically only by an amount of less than 1 kPa. Such a small pressure increase cannot be the sole driving mechanism for the large inflow of blood associated with ventricular expansion during this period. Instead, the rapid filling phase is to be interpreted as being mediated primarily by the heart recoiling elastically from its contracted state, causing blood to be aspirated rapidly into the ventricles. In order to study the role of this mechanism, elastic finite element (FE) simulations of ventricular expansion were performed, taking into account the large deformations occurring during this period and the effective compressibility of the myocardium due to intramural fluid flow. Thereby, a realistic three-dimensional geometry derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of both human ventricles was used. To validate our FE analyses, the results were compared with published measurements relating to the rapid filling phase of the human left ventricle. Our study shows that, under normal physiological conditions, ventricular aspiration plays a key role in the ventricular filling process. 相似文献

Spontaneous activation of rhodopsin without light absorption occurs at a much lower rate in rod photoreceptors and insect rhabdoms than in cones. The difference lies in the pigment molecules themselves, and has implications for the design of visual photoreceptors. 相似文献

Cubozoan medusae have a stereotypic set of 24 eyes, some of which are structurally similar to vertebrate and cephalopod eyes. Across the approximately 25 described species, this set of eyes varies surprisingly little, suggesting that they are involved in an equally stereotypic set of visual tasks. During the day Tripedalia cystophora is found at the edge of mangrove lagoons where it accumulates close to the surface in sun-lit patches between the prop roots. Copula sivickisi (formerly named Carybdea sivickisi) is associated with coral reefs and has been observed to be active at night. At least superficially, the eyes of the two species are close to identical. We studied the diurnal activity pattern of these two species both in the wild and under controlled conditions in laboratory experiments. Despite the very similar visual systems, we found that they display opposite patterns of diurnal activity. T. cystophora is active exclusively during the day, whereas C. sivickisi is actively swimming at night, when it forages and mates. At night T. cystophora is found on the muddy bottom of the mangrove lagoon. C. sivickisi spends the day attached to structures such as the underside of stones and coral skeletons. This species difference seems to have evolved to optimize foraging, since the patterns of activity follow those of the available prey items in their respective habitats. 相似文献

Cubomedusae, or box jellyfish, have the most elaborate visual system of all cnidarians. They have 24 eyes of four morphological types, distributed on four sensory structures called rhopalia. Box jellyfish also display complex, probably visually guided behaviors such as obstacle avoidance and fast directional swimming. Here we describe the strikingly complex and partially bilaterally symmetrical nervous system found in each rhopalium of the box jellyfish, Tripedalia cystophora, and present the rhopalial neuroanatomy in an atlas-like series of drawings. Discrete populations of neurons and commissures connecting the left and the right side along with two populations of nonneuronal cells were visualized using several different histochemical staining techniques and electron microscopy. The number of rhopalial nerve cells and their overall arrangement indicates that visual processing and integration at least partly happen within the rhopalia. The larger of the two nonneuronal cell populations comprises approximately 2,000 likely undifferentiated cells and may support a rapid cell turnover in the rhopalial nervous system. 相似文献
