恶性疟P190抗原保守区Ⅰ、Ⅴ基因的亚克隆及在大肠杆菌中高效表达

作者采用PCR方法克隆了我国海南省FCC1/HN株P190抗原两个保守区基因,分别定名为P190CRI和P190CRV。基因片段经纯化后连接到pUC18载体中进行DNA序列分析,结果显示:除了P190CRV中有5个碱基变换外,其余序列均与MAD20型序列一致。经序列分析的两个基因片段分别与pGEX-2T载体连接,经双酶切鉴定后转化感受态JM109(DE_3)大肠杆菌进行高效融合表达,并且用Sepharose 4B-谷胱甘肽层析柱进行亲和纯化,结果为:两个插入基因片段均得到高效融合表达,经一步亲和纯化后就取得高纯度的重组蛋白。

Delivery of Antigens to the MHC Class I Pathway Using Bacterial Toxins

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize antigens derived from endogenously expressed proteins presented on the cell surface in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Because CTL are effective in antiviral and antitumor responses, the delivery of antigens to the class I pathway has been the focus of numerous efforts. Generating CTL by immunization with exogenous proteins is often ineffective because these antigens typically enter the MHC class II pathway. This review focuses on the usefulness of bacterial toxins for delivering antigens to the MHC class I pathway. Several toxins naturally translocate into the cytosol, where they mediate their cytopathic effects, and the mechanisms by which this occurs has been elucidated. Molecular characterization of these toxins identified the functional domains and enabled the generation of modified proteins that were no longer toxic but retained the ability to translocate into the cytosol. Thus, these modified toxins could be examined for their ability to carry peptides or whole proteins into the cytosolic processing pathway. Of the toxins studied—diphtheria, pertussis, Pseudomonas, and anthrax—the anthrax toxin appears the most promising in its ability to deliver large protein antigens and its efficiency of translocation.

用丫-谷氨酞转肽酶-甲胎蛋白(GGT-AFP)双染色法研究了人肝癌及癌周组织中GGT,AFP的表达,同时观察了癌胚抗原(CEA)的分布.20例肝癌组织中,11例GGT阳性,10例AFP阳性.13例CEA阳性.在癌周组织中,6例GGT阳性,2例AFP阳性,20例CEA阳性.证实肝细胞癌可表达GGT,AFP,增生结节属癌前期病变,与肝癌的发生有关,GGT,AFP的增高与肝癌密切相关,CEA无特异性.     

Three predominant proteins secreted by the human prostate gland

Analyses of the proteins of azoospermic ejaculates from subjects with defective seminal vesicles demonstrated that three prostatic-secreted proteins were predominant. Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), prostate-specific antigen (PSA; or gamma-seminoprotein), and beta-microseminoprotein (beta-MSP; or beta-inhibin), were identified as the three predominant proteins secreted by the normal human prostate gland. Immunohistochemical localization of these proteins, in the epithelium of normal prostatic acini and ducts, with the avidin-biotin complex procedure demonstrated that each PAP-immunoreactive cell was invariably immunoreactive both with PSA-and beta-MSP-monospecific antisera as well.     

细粒棘球蚴95抗原基因的克隆及原核表达质粒的构建

肝细胞癌p21蛋白与增殖细胞核抗原的表达

应用免疫且化的方法对59例肝细胞癌p21蛋白及增殖细胞核抗原的表达进行研究，并对两者在肝细胞癌中的表达关系进行比较。结果显示：p21在癌周肝组织的表达水平高于癌组织，在癌组织中的表达与肝细胞癌的分化程度有关，癌组织的分化降低，p21表达水平也随之降低p21的表达与PCNA的表达呈负相关关系（r＝－0．327，P＜0．01）。提示：p21的缺失表达可能促进PCNA合成的增加，对肝癌的发生发展起重要作用。     

Treatment principles of atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is today the most common, chronic inflammatory skin disease among children in developed countries. Its cumulative prevalence varies from 20% in northern Europe and the USA to approximately 5% in Mediterranean countries. As a chronic disease it puts a special demand on treatment. There is no curative therapy, but competent guidance on treatment principles can control the disease in most, if not all children. This article summarizes the evidence-based knowledge that relates to the treatment of atopic eczema. It also gives advice and opinions on prophylactic measures as these are the focus of interest from most parents. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: This article should enable you to give advice and guidance to parents of children with AD, including what is necessary for diagnosis, what is of value and importance considering allergies and allergological investigations, allergen exposure, prophylactic measures, diets and indoor environment. Finally, you should be able to explain the diversity of treatment principles for parents.
