目的：观察白细胞介素(IL-15)对体外培养的骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)患者CD34^ 细胞增殖作用。方法：应用单克隆抗体免疫磁珠分离系统提取MDS患者CD34^ 细胞，以加IL-15组为实验组，不加IL-15组为对照组，进行液体和甲基纤维素半固体集落培养，计算培养后细胞数和CFU—E、BFU—E、CFU—GM、CFU—GEMM等集落数，并用MTT比色法检测IL-15对MDS患者CD34^ 细胞增殖的抑制作用，流式细胞术检测上述培养细胞周期的变异情况。结果：11例MDS对象平均CD34^ 细胞比例、回收率、纯度和富集倍数均达要求，MTT比色法检测IL-15对CD34^ 细胞的增殖作用呈最佳浓度效应，最佳浓度为20μg／L，细胞增殖抑制最低峰值时间为8d。用0μg／L IL-15(对照组)和20μg／L IL-15(实验组)作用MDS CD34^ 细胞，计数显示培养细胞最大增殖倍数和集落形成比率实验组均较对照组明显增加，IL-15作用后各细胞周期G1、S、G2期比例有明显改变，与对照组比较，差异有统计学意义。结论：IL-15对MDS CD34^ 细胞有促增殖效应，与其它造血生长因子具有协同作用，对MDS治疗可能有一定的应用前景。     

Kidney Transplantation in Patients with Antibodies against Donor HLA Class II

The immunologic risk associated with donor-specific antibodies (DSA) against Class II human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of KTx when DSA was detected only against HLA Class II. To isolate the impact of anti-Class II DSA, we retrospectively analyzed 12 KTx recipients who at baseline had a positive B-cell flow cytometric crossmatch (FXM) and a negative T-cell FXM. Using alloantibody specification analysis, 58.3% (7/12) had DSA against donor Class II and 41.7% had no demonstrable DSA. Biopsy-proven AMR occurred in 57% (4/7) in the Class II(+) group and 0% in the Class II(-) group (p > 0.05). Peritubular capillaries stained positive for C4d in 86% (6/7) of the Class II(+) patients and in 40% (2/5) of the Class II(-) patients (p > 0.05). One patient in the Class II(+) group lost their graft at 3 months to accelerated transplant glomerulopathy, while all other grafts were functioning 3-37 months posttransplant despite the persistence of anti-Class II DSA. We conclude that KTx recipients with clearly defined anti-Class II DSA are at risk for humoral rejection suggesting that desensitization and/or close posttransplant monitoring may be needed to prevent AMR.     

P物质抑制剂辣椒素和bFGF抗体对增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖协同抑制作用的实验研究

目的：探讨P物质抑制剂-辣椒素及bFGF抗体单独或联合使用对体外培养的人体增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖的影响。方法：体外培养12例增生性瘢痕组织的成纤维细胞,分别加入不同浓度的辣椒素或/和bFGF抗体,培养24h后观察细胞形态学变化,并用MTT法检测细胞增殖抑制率。结果：所有不同浓度的辣椒素（2.5,5,20,40,60,80mg/L）均能使细胞皱缩、坏死,抑制细胞增殖,其抑制作用随剂量增大而增加。中高浓度bFGF抗体（40,80mg/L）也可促使细胞皱缩、坏死,抑制细胞增殖,其抑制作用也随剂量增大而增加。辣椒素与bFGF抗体联合应用对成纤维细胞抑制作用较单独使用效果更显著（P﹤0.05）。结论：辣椒素及bFGF抗体可抑制增生性瘢痕成纤维细胞增殖,其抑制作用随浓度增加而增加,两者联合使用有协调作用,本研究结果可能在增生性瘢痕的治疗提供新的思路和手段。

Growth fraction in human brain tumors defined by the monoclonal antibody Ki-67

Summary The monoclonal antibody Ki-67, which reacts with cells in the active part of the cell cycle, was used to evaluate immunocytochemically the growth fraction in 22 primary brain neoplasms. The percentage of labelled cells reflected the histological grade of malignancy of each neoplasms. High percentage of Ki-67-positive cells were observed in one choroid plexus carcinoma (60%), one primary melanoma of meninges (40%), three medulloblastomas (40%–50%), one anaplastic astrocytoma and six glioblastomas (10%–40%). One ependymoma had 7% positive cells. Rare positive cells (1%) were present in one pilocytic astrocytoma and one ganglioglioma. Except one negative case, the meningiomas (five cases) had values of positivity ranging from 1% to 6%. Two acoustic schwannomas were negative. These results suggest that immunocytochemical staining with the Ki-67 may be a useful method for measuring the growth fraction in brain neoplasms.Supported in part by Associazione Italiana Ricerca sul Cancro and Ministero Italiano della Pubblica Istruzione     

Monoclonal antibody production to human and bovine 2′:3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase): high-specificity recognition in whole brain acetone powders and conservation of sequence between CNP1 and CNP2

Monoclonal antibodies against human and bovine 2′:3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) were generated by fusing FOX-NY myeloma cells with spleen cells from RBF/Dn mice previously immunized with the purified brain antigens. The enzyme isolated from bovine brain was quite basic, with an isoelectric point of 9.71 and both the bovine and human enzymes consisted of a closely spaced doublet at approximately 44 and 46 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Six monoclonals were identified as strongly recognizing the enzyme on both ELISA plates and on immunoblots of whole brain protein. Four monoclonals very weakly cross-reacted with guinea pig myelin basic protein. In contrast with two previous reports, some of our monoclonal antibodies did immunostain 2 or 3 protein bands in peripheral nerve, two bands closely corresponding to those immunostained in central nervous system (CNS) myelin, the Wolfgram protein fraction and in acetone powders of whole brain. Each of the 6 monoclonals reacting strongly on immunoblots recognized the enzyme in from 2 to 5 of the species examined (human, bovine, rat, mouse and rabbit). In addition, all 6 monoclonals that immunostained the enzyme in whole brain, myelin and Wolfgram protein immunoblots recognized both CNP1 (44 kDa) and CNP2 (46 kDa). The two closely spaced protein bands observed on SDS-PAGE and previously stained on immunoblots of CNS CNPase using polyvalent rabbit anti-bovine CNPase antisera, and now different monoclonal antibodies, appear to be immunologically related and to contain highly conserved sequences.     

BK Virus-Specific Antibodies and BKV DNA in Renal Transplant Recipients with BKV Nephritis

We evaluated twenty renal transplant subjects at various stages of BKV nephritis (BKVN) for BKV-specific IgG and IgM antibodies using ELISA technique and BKV-DNA using PCR. They were divided as early onset (n = 7), stabilizing (n = 3), resolved (n = 8) and late onset (n = 2) BKVN. BKV-specific antibodies and BKV-DNA were simultaneously determined. The mean BKV-specific IgG level in early onset and stabilizing BKVN were 64 and 39 EIA units, and were significantly lower than 138 EIA units seen in resolved BKVN, P = 0.007, P = 0.008. The mean BKV-specific IgM levels in stabilizing BKVN was higher than resolved BKVN (130 vs 51 EIA units), P = 0.006. Mean plasma BKV loads for each group were 955,925, 5642 and 42 copies/mL of plasma, respectively. Prospective study in six BKVN cases revealed mean IgG, IgM levels and BKV-DNA at the time of diagnosis of BKVN as 39, 110 EIA units and 586,758 copies/mL of plasma, respectively. After a mean period of 5.2 months, IgG level increased to 120 EIA units (p = 0.0058) and had no detectable viral copies in circulation. Recovery from BKVN and elimination of BKV is associated with the development of BKV-specific IgG antibodies and this provides insight into the role of humoral immunity to BKV in the pathogenesis of BKVN.
