Immunization with Combined HSV-2 Glycoproteins B2:D2 Gene DNAs: Protection against Lethal Intravaginal Challenges in Mice

The immunity of a combined DNA vaccine of HSV-2 glycoproteins B2 (gB2) and D2 (gD2) genes in comparison to individual vaccines was studied with regard to protecting against the HSV infection. Two recombinant DNA vaccines of the pHS2-gB2 or pHS2-gD2 were constructed and formulated. The neutralizing antibody titers appeared higher in the B2:D2 gene cocktail-vaccinated mice than that of the individual B2 or D2 gene-vaccinated group alone, and the positive KOS control induced higher titer of the neutralizing antibody than combined or individual gene vaccines. The mock-immunized mice failed to induce enough. The ranks for the CTL activity and the protection rates against the lethal intravaginal challenge were shown as KOS>B2:D2 cocktail>D2>B2 gene vaccines. The vaginal external diseases in the B2:D2 or D-vaccinated mice were significantly reduced against the challenging dosages. The virus titers in the vaginal secretions of the vaccinated mice significantly reduced with time, and the B2:D2 gene vaccine decreased more than each individual vaccine alone. It can be concluded that the cocktailed vaccines are more effective in the humoral and cellular immune responses in the mice, and in the protection of the mice against the intravaginal challenging dosages when compared with individual gene vaccines. All the DNA vaccines failed to block the latent infection in sensory nerves.     

Mercury (II) alters mitochondrial activity of monocytes at sublethal doses via oxidative stress mechanisms

The perennial controversy about the safety of mercury in dental amalgams has adversely affected the availability and the quality of dental care. Chronic Hg(II) blood concentrations above 300 nM are known to alter function of the nervous system and the kidney. However, the effects of blood concentrations of 10 to 75 nM, far more common in the general population, are not clear and mechanisms of any effects are not known. The monocyte is an important potential target of Hg(II) because of its critical role in directing inflammatory and immune responses. In the current study we tested the hypothesis that concentrations of Hg(II) of 10 to 300 nM alter monocyte activity via a redox-dependent mechanism. Mitochondrial activity was used to establish inhibitory concentrations of Hg(II) following 6 to 72 h of exposures to THP1 human monocytic cells. Then subinhibitory concentrations were applied, and total glutathione levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. Antioxidants [N-acetyl cysteine, (NAC); Na2SeO3, (Se)] and a pro-oxidant (tert-butylhydroquinone, tBHQ) were used to support the hypothesis that Hg(II) effects were redox-mediated. After 72 h of exposure, 20 microM of Hg(II) inhibited monocytic mitochondrial activity by 50%. NAC mitigated Hg(II)-induced mitochondrial suppression only at concentrations of greater than 10 microM, but Se had few effects on Hg-induced mitochondrial responses. tBHQ significantly enhanced mitochondrial suppression at higher Hg(II) concentrations. Hg(II) concentrations of 75 and 300 nM (0.075 and 0.30 microM, respectively) significantly increased total glutathione levels, and NAC mitigated these increases. Se plus Hg(II) significantly elevated Hg-induced total cellular glutathione levels. Increased ROS levels were not detected in monocytes exposed to mercury. Hg(II) acts in monocytic cells, at least in part, through redox-mediated mechanisms at concentrations below those commonly associated with chronic mercury toxicity, but commonly occurring in the blood of some dental patients.

Crossed immunoelectrophoretic analysis of anti-Salmonella typhi antibodies in sera of typhoid patients and carriers: demonstration of the presence of typhoid-specific antibodies to a non-O, non-H, non-Vi antigen

A veronal buffer extract of Salmonella typhi was used as the reference antigen and its corresponding rabbit antiserum as the reference antibody in crossed immunoelectrophoresis to analyze antibodies in sera obtained from typhoid patients and carriers. Four precipitating antibodies were regularly detected. Three were against antigens common to other gram-negative bacteria and one appeared to be typhoid specific. Of the three common antigens, one (antigen no. 7) formed a precipitin resembling in mobility and morphology the lipopolysaccharide antigen seen in crossed immunoelectrophoresis analysis of other gram-negative bacteria. The other (antigen no. 19) was heat labile and antigenically similar to the reported common antigen of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The third (antigen no. 14), also heat labile, was present in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae but not the family Pseudomonas. The typhoid-specific precipitating antibody present in sera of most typhoid patients and carriers but not patients infected with nontyphoid salmonella was directed to a heat-labile, non-O, non-H, and non-Vi antigen (antigen no. 28), probably protein in nature.

妊娠高血压患者血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的测定及其临床意义

本文测定了３０例正常育龄妇女，２８例正常妊娠以及３６例妊娠征患者血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的水平，结果发现，轻度妊高生与正常妊娠相比，血浆中ＣＧＲＰＫ是有下降但不显著（Ｐ〉０．０５）。中重度妊高征与正常妊娠相比，差异有非常显著性，因此推测，妊娠状态下血浆中降钙素基因相关肽的减少可能是妊娠高血压症产生的重要原因之一。
