淡色库蚊不同发育阶段双向电泳的蛋白质多肽点图谱比较

用双向电泳分析淡色库蚊卵、二令幼虫、四令幼虫、蛹和成虫蛋白质组成.电泳完毕后,用考马斯亮兰G-250染色,结果以成蚊蛋白质多肽点为最多(116点),其次依次为蛹(101点)、卵(70点)、四令幼虫(53点)、二令幼虫(18点)。它们在不同分子量和不同PH 范围内的分布也不同,但总的来看,在幼体阶段(卵、二、四令幼虫及蛹)多偏低分子量和低PI 值的点,发育至成虫阶段,分布走向全面。     

鹿茸有效成分对小鼠肝脏RNA和蛋白质合成的影响

多次给小鼠po鹿茸多胺30mg/kg,对[³H]leucine和[³H]uridine掺入肝组织蛋白和RNA有明显的促进作用,而庸茸非多胺则无此作用;当腐胺剂量为21mg/kg时,不仅促进[³H]leucine和[³H]uridiae掺入肝组织蛋白和RNA,也促进[³H]uridine掺入肝细胞核的RNA中,并增强RNA聚合酶的活性;精脒在剂量为8mg/kg时,仅对[³H]leucine掺入肝组织蛋白有促进;而精胺在1mg/kg时,没有观察到上述各种现象。此结果提示,鹿茸多胺类物质是鹿茸中刺激小鼠肝组织蛋白和RNA合成的主要活性物质,这 种刺激小鼠肝组织蛋白和RNA合成效应是由于鹿茸多胺能够显著地增强RNA聚合酶的活性。     

Antigenic diversity of the asexual developmental stages of Eimeria tenella

Total polypeptides from unsporulated and sporulated oocysts, sporozoites and the first two generations of merozoites of Eimeria tenella were fractionated by electrophoresis through polyacrylamide gels. The parasites are complex and the arrays of polypeptides differ for each of the developmental stages indicating that there is stagespecific control of gene expression. In particular, first generation merozoites display a markedly different polypeptide profile to that of either sporozoites or second generation merozoites. Changes in antigenicity during sporulation and the antigenic relationships between the three asexual zoite stages were examined by probing electroblotted polypeptides with a panel of antisera raised in rabbits to purified preparations of each stage. Antigenic cross-reactivity is well maintained throughout sporulation even though the sizes of antibody-reactive polypeptides change. In contrast there is a marked lack of cross-reactive epitopes between sporozoites, first and second generation merozoites.

Polypeptide composition of normal and neoplastic human breast tissues and cells analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis

Summary The protein populations of epithelial cells cultured from two neoplastic and five non-neoplastic human breast tissues were resolved and displayed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silverstaining. With a computer-based image analysis system, we identified eight polypeptides which are present in both of the neoplastic cell lines, but absent from all five of the cultures of non-neoplastic breast cells. The eight polypeptides are not unique to cells cultured from neoplastic breast, because they are also found in cells cultured from non-breast tissues, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic. Two of the eight polypeptides ( M_r 25,000/pI 4.4 and M_r 31,000/pI 5.5) are present in the patterns of whole tissue samples from infiltrating ductal carcinomas and absent in most normal breast tissue.     

Microtiter radioimmunoprecipitation assay of HSV-1 polypeptides with recovery and SDS-PAGE analysis of precipatated proteins: Usefulness as screening test for large numbers of specimens including hybridoma supernates

Immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled polypeptides from complex mixtures of proteins was performed in polystyrene microtiter plates using staphylococcus protein A and various antibody preparations. The method is (1) rapid, (2) uses multichannel micropipettor technology, (3) handles large numbers of specimen easily, (4) requires very small volumes of antigen and antibody (5–50 μl), (5) provides replicates for statistical analysis and (6) allows recovery of precipitated proteins for direct SDS-PAGE analysis of precipitated proteins. We have shown it is useful as a test to screen large numbers of sera or to characterize monoclonal antibody-containing samples.     

Immunohistochemical localisation of keratin in human lung tumours

Summary Antisera against total keratin extracts of human callus have been used to identify keratins in lung tumours of different histological type. Forty-three were classified by the WHO scheme. Keratin immunoreactive cells were identified in all 8 epidermoid carcinomas; 6 out of 12 large cell carcinomas; 2 out of 6 adenocarcinomas; 2 out of 15 small cell carcinomas and in the only muco-epidermoid carcinoma. These cases demonstrate the heterogeneity of phenotypic expression in lung tumours not recognisable without the use of immunohistochemical techniques.     

Adhesion polypeptides are useful for the prevention of peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer

We examined the effect of adhesion polypeptides on the adhesion and invasiveness of gastric cancer cell lines. We previously reported the establishment of an extensively peritoneal-seeding cell line, OCUM-2MD3, from a poorly seeding human scirrhous gastric carcinoma cell line, OCUM-2M. Both 21 and 31 integrin expression was markedly increased on OCUM-2MD3 cells compared with OCUM-2M cells, and the ability of OCUM-2MD3 cells to bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM) was also significantly higher than that of OCUM-2M cells. The adhesion polypeptides, YIGSR and RGD, and two RGD derivatives significantly inhibited the adhesion of OCUM-2MD3 cells to the submesothelial ECM, while not inhibiting the adhesiveness of OCUM-2M cells and two well differentiated human gastric cell lines, MKN-28 and MKN-74. The YIGSR and RGD peptides also significantly inhibited the invasiveness of OCUM-2MD3 cells. The survival of nude mice with peritoneal dissemination given YIGSR sequenc e intraperitoneally was obviously longer than that of untreated mice. The survival of mice treated with RGD was also improved, and this effect was increased using the RGD derivatives, poly(CEMA-RGDS) and CM-chitin RGDS. These polypeptides appear to block the binding of integrins, which are expressed on OCUM-2MD3 cells, to the submesothelial ECM, and consequently inhibit peritoneal implantation. The peritoneal injection of adhe-sion polypeptides may be a new therapy against the dissemination of scirrhous gastric cancer, and may be useful for the prevention of dissemination in high-risk patients. © Rapid Science Ltd.
