In this paper the recent population changes of the Wild Boar in different European countries is analysed through the study of hunting statistics. A simultaneous increase in numbers is observed throughout the whole area during the period 1965–1975. From 1975 onwards the population stabilizes itself apart from in peripheral areas like Finland. Potentially favourable factors which play a part in this process are discussed and certain reproductive and dispersive characteristics which favour its invasive behaviour are discussed. 相似文献

Purpose Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (AlloBMT) can be curative for patients with leukemia. The most important anti-leukemic effect may be mediated by the T-cells contained within the graft; however, the allogeneic T-cells may also give rise to graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). One way to control GVHD might be to transduce the donor T-cells with a drug-inducible suicide gene. If a retrovirus vector is to be used for this transduction, activation of the T-cells is required for integration of the transgene to occur. The activation protocol should ensure expansion of a broad repertoire of donor T-cells. Notably, T-cells specific for herpes virus family antigens are important for adoptive immunoprotection.Methods To define optimal activation conditions for retrovirus-mediated suicide gene transduction of donor T-cells, we examined the repertoire of CD8+ T-cells in general, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific T-cells in particular, following two different activation and expansion procedures.Results We found that repeated CD3/CD28 stimulation resulted in a high level of activation-induced T-cell death, affecting in vivo expanded clones, some of which were specific for EBV, in particular. In contrast, initial CD3/CD28 activation followed by proliferation in interleukin-2 lead to expansion of EBV-specific clones over and above the expansion observed for CD8+ T-cells in general.Conclusion These results should impact on protocols for ex vivo activation of T-cells prior to suicide gene transduction. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers were counted for 23 species of Crotalaria native to Brazil. Among these data there were new counts for 15 taxa, and some confirmed previous reports or represented numbers that were different from those cited previously. The chromosome numbers most frequently found were 2 n = 16 and 2 n = 32. Only C. incana L. had 2 n = 14 and C. tweediana Benth. had 2 n = 54. The counts 2 n = 32 and 54 were found in species of section Calycinae and 2 n = 16 and 14 in species of section Chrysocalycinae . The data revealed the importance of chromosomal parameters in the characterization of sections Calycinae and Chrysocalycinae in Brazil. We discuss the systematic significance and evolutionary aspects for the genus, comparing the results with the two sections that are native in Brazil. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 151 , 271–277. 相似文献

A total of 44 accessions of Brachiaria decumbens were analysed for chromosome count and meiotic behaviour in order to identify potential progenitors for crosses. Among them,
15 accessions presented 2n = 18; 27 accessions, 2n = 36; and 2 accessions, 2n = 45 chromosomes. Among the diploid accessions, the rate of meiotic abnormalities was low, ranging from 0.82% to 7.93%. In
the 27 tetraploid accessions, the rate of meiotic abnormalities ranged from 18.41% to 65.83%. The most common meiotic abnormalities
were related to irregular chromosome segregation, but chromosome stickiness and abnormal cytokinesis were observed in low
frequency. All abnormalities can compromise pollen viability by generating unbalanced gametes. Based on the chromosome number
and meiotic stability, the present study indicates the apomictic tetraploid accessions that can act as male genitor to produce
interspecific hybrids with B. ruziziensis or intraspecific hybrids with recently artificially tetraploidized accessions. 相似文献

The genetic variability at six cloned minisatellite loci was analyzed in
minke whale populations from the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and
Antarctic Oceans. Three loci displayed only a few different alleles in each
of the three populations, with heterozygosity ranging from 0.00 to 0.47,
and three loci revealed many different alleles in at least two fo the three
populations, with heterozygosity ranging up to 0.98. Using small sample
sizes, samples from two adjacent Antarctic Management Areas were not found
to differ significantly in allele frequencies at any of the six loci. The
use of principal coordinate analysis to detect multilocus disequilibria was
explored. No significant evidence was found of intrapopulation
heterogeneity within the pooled Antarctic sample. Pronounced interoceanic
differences were observed at every locus, confirming the existence of
genetic isolation found earlier using more conventional marker systems. The
populations from the three oceans appear to have diverged to such a degree
that the hypervariable loci have had time to evolve independently and
arrive at different evolutionary stages in different populations. The
frequency of undetected "null" alleles is remarkably high in minke whale
populations compared to human populations and is probably a result of the
cloning protocol used. Minisatellite loci are shown to provide a powerful
population genetic tool, supplying levels of resolution appropriate to
different degrees of evolutionary divergence.

In 1948 Ludwik Fleck published a paper in Polish discussing the use of humans in medical experiments, thereby addressing his peers. Though the paper has so far not been translated or studied, it has been taken to indicate Fleck's deep commitment to ethical questions, notably the question of informed consent. In being written by a former victim of the Nazi policy and a survivor of the Holocaust also acting as an expert witness in the trial of the IG Farben in Nuremberg, the paper is of interest. A scrutiny of Fleck's text and related sources discloses, however, not only the complexity of the issue at the centre of the Nuremberg trial, but also Fleck's unexpected stance in seemingly adducing his arguments from both the German defendants and the prosecution, heavily informed by US scientists. Further, the contentious discussion of the past in Fleck's paper reveals its links to modern bioethical discussion. Though sometimes oblivious of that past, it still faces the same questions. 相似文献
