检测猪丹毒杆菌抗体重组SpaA ELISA的建立

【目的】利用表达纯化的猪丹毒杆菌表面保护性蛋白SpaA,建立检测猪丹毒杆菌抗体的间接ELISA方法。【方法】克隆扩增猪丹毒杆菌SpaA基因,并将SpaA基因与原核表达载体p GEX-6P-1连接,通过PCR、双酶切及测序鉴定后,将阳性重组质粒转化入受体菌E.coli Rosetta(DE3),并利用IPTG进行诱导表达,SDS-PAGE和Western blot鉴定表达产物。将SpaA重组蛋白按不同浓度包被酶标板,通过方阵滴定法确定最佳抗原包被浓度及血清稀释度,并对其他条件进行优化,最终建立检测猪丹毒杆菌抗体的间接ELISA方法。【结果】利用克隆表达的猪丹毒杆菌SpaA蛋白作抗原,通过方阵滴定法确定蛋白最佳包被浓度为1.0 mg/L,血清的最佳稀释度为1:100,建立了检测猪丹毒杆菌抗体的间接ELISA方法,批内及批间变异系数均小于10%,具有较好的重复性及特异性。用建立的间接ELISA方法检测猪丹毒疫苗免疫后的健康猪血清样品,检测结果与美国TSZ公司猪丹毒杆菌抗体检测试剂盒和Western blot鉴定结果进行对比,两者总符合率分别为92.20%、92.59%。【结论】试验利用原核表达的SpaA重组蛋白作抗原建立的检测猪丹毒杆菌抗体的间接ELISA方法,特异性强、重复性好、敏感性高,可用于猪丹毒杆菌的抗体检测及流行病学调查。

Overexpression of FAB1A-GFP recruits SNX2b on the endosome membrane in snx1–1 mutant in Arabidopsis

Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P₂] is one of the phosphoinositides that controls endosomal trafficking events in eukaryotes. PtdIns(3,5)P₂ is produced from PI(3)P by phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase FAB1/PIKfyve. Recently, we reported that FAB1 predominantly localizes on the SNX1-residing late endosomes and a loss-of FAB1 function causes the release of late endosomal effector proteins, ARA7/RABF2b and SORTING NEXIN 1 from the endosome membrane, indicating that FAB1 or its product PtdIns(3,5)P₂ mediates the maturation process of the late endosomes. Intriguingly, the ectopic expression of FAB1A could complement the sucrose-dependent seedling growth phenotype of snx1–1 mutant. Here, we demonstrated that the depletion of SNX1 causes the release of SNX2b-mRFP from the endosomal membrane. However, overexpression of FAB1A-GFP reassembles SNX2b-mRFP on the endosomal membrane despite the absence of SNX1. From these results, we proposed that SNX2b homodimer or SNX2a/SNX2b heterodimer might function as functional Sorting Nexin complex instead of SNX1 to attach the endosomal membrane by binding of overproduced PI(3,5)P₂ in Arabidopsis.     

One method to establish Epstein‐Barr virus‐associated NK/T cell lymphoma mouse models

Novel nude mice model of human NK/T cell lymphoma were established by subcutaneously injecting two NK/T cell lymphoma cell lines into the right axillary region of mice and successful passages were completed by injecting cell suspension which was obtained through a 70‐μm cell strainer. These mice models and corresponding cell clones have been successfully developed for more than 8 generations. The survival rates of both resuscitation and transplantation in NKYS and YT models were 90% and 70% correspondingly. Pathologically, the tumour cells in all passages of the lymphoma‐bearing mice and cell lines obtained from tumours were parallel to initial cell lines. Immunologically, the tumour cells expressed the characteristics of the primary and essential NK/T lymphomas. The novel mice models maintained the essential features of human NK/T cell lymphoma, and they would be ideal tools in vivo for further research of human NK/T cell lymphoma.
