Elongation of the cytoplasmic domain,due to a point deletion at exon 7, results in an HLA-C null allele,Cw*0409 N

The development of molecular techniques for HLA typing has allowed the identification of genes previously assigned as serologic blank alleles. Lack or poor cell surface expression has been found for molecules coded by HLA-A, -B, -DRB4, -DRB5, and -DPB1 genes. In this report we describe the first HLA-C gene encoding for a null cell surface molecule. HLA-Cw*0409 N shows a point deletion at position 1095 within exon 7. This mutation provokes a codon reading shift, generating a new translation stop codon 97 bp downstream to that described in alleles normally expressed. This new stop codon location implies the presence of 32 extra amino acid residues in the cytoplasmic domain. Transfection experiments suggest that elongation of the cytoplasmic domain in Cw*0409 N would be the cause of cell surface expression failure, although Cw*0409 N heavy chain is able to create stable complexes with beta2-microglobulin. HLA-C fragment length analysis in a small selected group of samples with B44-Cblk haplotypic associations allowed us to identify two additional subjects showing both a serologic silent Cw*04 allele and a point base deletion at the 3' end of the HLA-C gene. This finding indicates that the allele frequency of Cw*0409 N within serologic C blank alleles would be appreciable, although basically restricted to the (A23)-Cw*0409 N-B*4403-DR7-DQ2 haplotype.     

EXT1基因1633-26(C→A)突变可能致多发性外生性骨疣

目的研究1例散发多发性外生性骨疣患者的基因突变情况，确定其致病基因。方法采用聚合酶链反应结合DNA直接测序法检测EXT1以及EXT2基因的突变热点区域；并应用错配引物PCR扩增引入酶切位点结合限制性片段长度多态性方法检测和鉴定突变。结果经测序证实在患者EXT1基因的第7内含子3’剪接位点上游26bp处发现一杂合突变，此杂合突变不存在于其表型正常的父母双亲中，是一个新生突变；错配引物扩增与限制性片段长度多态性分析结果表明在150名家系外正常对照者中没有此突变。结论EXT1基因1633-26（C→A）突变可能是导致这个患者发生多发性外生性骨疣的致病突变。     

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV caused by Gly400Glu, Gly595Cys and Glyl003Asp substitutions in collagen III: clinical features, biochemical screening, and molecular confirmation

Three patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS IV) and biochemical evidence of structural defects in collagen III were investigated for mutations within the collagen III gene ( COL3A1 ). Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis of α1(III) cDNA indicated the presence of different heterozygous sequence changes in each of the patients. Nucleotide sequencing revealed mutations leading to the substitution of glycine 400 with glutamic acid, glycine 595 with cysteine, and glycine 1003 with aspartic acid. EDS IV is a life-threatening disorder which, as the clinical histories of our patients and their families show, still often escapes diagnosis. Biochemical and molecular studies can clarify the diagnosis and help provide appropriate management and counselling.

铁蛋白鉴别胸腹液良恶性质的临界值选择

探讨铁蛋白ferrztin,Ft在鉴别胸腹液良、恶性质的临界值。用RIA法测定218份由不同病因引起的胸腹液标本铁蛋白(pleuraleffusionferritin,PFt)及其同期血清铁蛋白(SFt)。依据临床确诊资料,将标本进行良、恶性病例分组,比较两组PFt、SFt,计算PFt/SFt比值,用ROC曲线选择PFt用于良、恶性质鉴别的最佳临界值。结果表明,良性组PFt为142.4±38.6μg/L,SFt为89.7±43.5μg/L,PFt/SFt为1.46±0.55;恶性组PFt为576.5±239.1μg/L,SFt为189.6±81.7μg/L,PFt/SFt为3.67±1.48;PFt用于鉴别胸腹液良、恶性质的临界值为400μg/L。以恶性积液PFt≥400μg/L、PFt/SFt≥3,良性积液PFt<400μg/L、PFt/SFt<3为实验诊断标准鉴别胸腹腔积液的良、恶性质,灵敏度为84.5%、特异性为87.5%,准确性为92.8%。

Relationship between muscle fatigue and oxygen uptake during cycle ergometer exercise with different ramp slope increments

Summary The surface electromyogram (EMG) from active muscle and oxygen uptake ( ) were studied simultaneously to examine changes of motor unit (MU) activity during exercise tests with different ramp increments. Six male subjects performed four exhausting cycle exercises with different ramp slopes of 10, 20, 30 and 40 W · min^–1 on different days. The EMG signals taken from the vastus lateralis muscle were stored on a digital data recorder and converted to obtain the integrated EMG (iEMG). The was measured, with 20-s intervals, by the mixing chamber method. A non-linear increase in iEMG against work load was observed for each exercise in all subjects. The break point of the linear relationship of iEMG was determined by the crossing point of the two regression lines (iEMG_bp). Significant differences were obtained in the exercise intensities corresponding to maximal oxygen uptake ( ) and the iEMG_bp between 10 and 30, and 10 and 40 W · min –1 ramp exercises (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were obtained in and corresponding to the iEMG_bp during the four ramp exercises. With respect to the relationship between and exercise intensity during the ramp increments, the -exercise intensity slope showed significant differences only for the upper half (i.e. above iEMG_bp). These results demonstrated that the and at which a nonlinear increase in iEMG was observed were not varied by the change of ramp slopes but by the exercise intensity corresponding to and the iEMG_bp was varied by the change of ramp slopes. In addition, the significant differences in the exercise intensity slopes for the upper half of the tests would suggest that the recruitment patterns of MU and/or muscle metabolic state might be considerably altered depending upon the ramp slope increments.     

Characterization of a monoclonal anti-Bw4 antibody (Tü109): Evidence for similar epitopes on the Bw4 and Bw6 antigens

The production and serologic, as well as immunochemical properties of a cytotoxic murine IgG monoclonal antibody (Tü109) that precipitates HLA-class I molecules, are described. In the microcytotoxicity assay Tü109 supernatant was demonstrated on a panel of 424 HLA-ABC, -DR, -DQ, -MT typed normal Caucasian blood donors to define an epitope on HLA-B locus molecules in great association with the supertypic specificity Bw4. Reactivity of supernatant showed MHC linked inheritance of the Tü109 determinant and discriminated the HLA-Bw4/Bw6 associated HLA-B locus split antigens. Weak or lack of binding on lymphocytes from some HLA-Bw4 heterozygous individuals, particularly typing for HLA-Bw44, appeared to be due to qualitative and/or quantitative variations of HLA-B locus molecules on the cell surface. With Tü109 ascites fluid, however, extra-reactivity on all HLA-Bw6⁺ cells was demonstrated. Preferential binding of supernatant to HLA-Bw4, but reactivity of ascites fluid with HLA-Bw6⁺ molecules in addition, was furthermore confirmed by IEF analysis of antigens immunoprecipitated with Tü109 from cell lysates. Thus the antibody may help to analyze the evolutionary relationship of the diallelic specificities Bw4 and Bw6.     

Isolation and immunochemical characterization of the major allergen of birch pollen (Betula verrucosa)

The classification of some of the extractable birch pollen antigens as allergens was established by crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis (CRIE). In CRIE the major allergen (antigen 23) exhibited the strongest “radiostaining” and only a few other components of birch pollen extract were visibly radiostained. The major allergen and a preparation containing mainly the minor allergens, antigens 25 and 19, were isolated from a crude aqueous birch pollen extract by a combination of anion-exchange, size-exclusion, and chelate chromatography. Antigen 23 was purified to near homogeneity. The molecular weights and the pIs of antigens 23, 25, and 19 were determined to be 17,000 daltons, pI 5.25 (5.5, 5.0); 25,000 daltons, pI 5.0 (4.9, 5.4); and 29,000 daltons, pI 6.2 (5.4), respectively. The classification of antigen 23 as the major allergen in birch pollen was supported by results of RAST inhibition experiments, RAST screening, and skin prick testing.
