神经营养因子基因转移载体研究进展

基因治疗可能是预防神经元变性的最有用的方法。腺病毒载体、腺相关病毒载体及逆转录病毒载体等，作为将神经营养因子基因转移珐以非神经元细胞为靶细胞的主要方法，具有潜在的区域特异性、持续性、而受性的特点，并能稳定表达神经营养因子蛋白，右逆转衰老等多种因素导致的胆碱能神经元变性，引起功能的恢复。     

一种新的内源性钠泵抑制因子前海葱苷原A样物质在牛体内的分布

为了建立一种蟾蜍二烯羟酸内酯（ｂｕｆａｄｉｅｎｏｌｉｄｅｓ）前海葱苷原Ａ免疫方法，并对哺乳动物体内的前海葱苷原Ａ样物质进行检测，我们制备了兔和羊前海葱苷原Ａ抗体。利用ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测了一种新的内源性钠泵抑制因子前海葱苷原Ａ样物质在牛的肾上腺、丘脑、心脏、肾脏、肝脏、小脑、骨骼肌和血液中的分布。研究发现这种前海葱苷原Ａ样物质在肾上腺及下丘脑的含量高于其它腺体组织，其具有抑制人红细胞８６Ｒｂ摄取的特性，可与前海葱苷原Ａ抗体发生免疫交叉反应，但几乎不与哇巴因抗体交叉反应，是一种新的类固醇激素     

《自然－免疫学》：研究人员探明过敏体质部分原因

日本理化研究所近日发表新闻公报说。其研究人员与美国同行经动物实验发现，负责合成转录因子Mina的基因存在单核苷酸多态性。这一特点与过敏症发病相关。     

转化生长因子β

TGFβ广泛存在于动物体多种组织和细胞内,由二条相同的、含112个氨基酸的肽链组成,是细胞的多功能双重调节因子。它对不同组织类型的细胞,可促进生长、分化,也可抑制生长、分化,并直接参与组织修复、胚胎发育等过程,调节细胞外基质形成。     

连续注射抗菌i-RNA诱生内源性细胞毒因子的研究

应用抗菌免疫核糖核酸(i-RNA)对家兔进行连续致敏注射和诱生注射,结果证明在家兔血清中有抑制和杀伤靶细胞(L929)作用较强的细胞毒因子出现。实验对i-RNA诱生内源性细胞毒因子的动态、不同i-RNA的诱生效果,对人和鼠的某些瘤细胞毒作用等做了初步研究,对内源性细胞毒因子的作用主要来自TNF的活性也做了讨论。     

血管内皮舒张因子在氧自由基所致慢性缺氧大鼠肺内动...

The role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) on the effect of oxygen-derived free radicals (generated by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system) on intrapulmonary arterial in chronic hypoxic rats was studied by a microbioassay method. Intrapulmonary artery rings with intact or denuded endothelium of hypoxic (5,000 m, 10 days) and normoxic rats were prepared for observation of oxygen-derived free radicals induced contraction. It was shown that oxygen-derived free radicals induced contractions of intrapulmonary arterial rings with intact endothelium were obviously augmented in hypoxic rats than in normoxic controls. The augmented responses could be further potentiated by the addition of EDRF inactivator reduced hemoglobin (RHb), but diminished or even abolished by applying superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD). However, no effect on denuded rings was observed when RHb or SOD was added. It is concluded that chronic hypoxia may attenuate the action of EDRF in the enhancement of the reactivity of intrapulmonary artery to oxygen-derived free radicals.
