Fluorescence and photobleaching dynamics of single light-harvesting complexes

Single light-harvesting complexes LH-2 from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila were immobilized on various charged surfaces under physiological conditions. Polarized light experiments showed that the complexes were situated on the surface as nearly upright cylinders. Their fluorescence lifetimes and photobleaching properties were obtained by using a confocal fluorescence microscope with picosecond time resolution. Initially all molecules fluoresced with a lifetime of 1 ± 0.2 ns, similar to the bulk value. The photobleaching of one bacteriochlorophyll molecule from the 18-member assembly caused the fluorescence to switch off completely, because of trapping of the mobile excitations by energy transfer. This process was linear in light intensity. On continued irradiation the fluorescence often reappeared, but all molecules did not show the same behavior. Some LH-2 complexes displayed a variation of their quantum yields that was attributed to photoinduced confinement of the excited states and thereby a diminution of the superradiance. Others showed much shorter lifetimes caused by excitation energy traps that are only ≈3% efficient. On repeated excitation some molecules entered a noisy state where the fluorescence switched on and off with a correlation time of ≈0.1 s. About 490 molecules were examined.

Construction of an Rb gene expression plasmid.

We obtained an 844 bp Bg1II fragment from an Rb cDNA clone and inserted it into the expression vector pWR-13 to construct an Rb gene expression plasmid. When the Rb Bg1II fragment was fused in-frame into pWR-13, it was operated by a Lac Z promoter and produced a fusion protein which consisted of expressed Rb protein and a small peptide from Lac Z. The recombinants were transformed into E. coli with the CaCl2 method, screened by in situ hybridization, and restriction mapped. Total cellular protein of transformed clones was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Commassie blue staining. The sense clones showed a unique band at 28,000. On Western blot, this band specifically reacted with 125I-labelled antibody against synthetic Rb peptide. This protein comprised more than 5% of total bacterial protein.

肾移植患者术前抗体水平的分析

对肾移植术前患者血清４５９份进行了抗体水平的分析。发现４０７例首次移植前的患者血清中８４例（２０．６％）有抗淋巴细胞抗体。再次移植前５２例中３９例（７５％）有抗淋巴细胞抗体。在阳性患者血清中对全淋巴细胞有抗体的占６８．３％，而仅对Ｂ淋巴细胞有抗体的占３１．７％。在性别上，女性产生抗体阳性率均高于男性。结果表明，初次移植肾患者输血和妊娠是致敏的重要因素，再次移植的患者移植物刺激是致敏的重要因素之一。Ｂ淋巴细胞抗体在移植物排斥的关系中可能具有保护移植物的作用。
