前S1蛋白在HBV指标中的重要意义

前S1蛋白是HBV衣壳蛋白的一部分，存在于大分子表面抗原蛋白之中，它是乙肝早期诊断的敏感指标，也反映了乙肝病毒的复制和乙肝病情的活动。本文研究显示，162例非乙肝病人血清中前S1蛋白全部阴性；311例乙肝患者中，前S1蛋白阳性率为38．9％，其中急性乙肝93．8％，慢性活动性肝炎51．2％，在乙肝二对半检测模式中，大三阳中该指标阳性率87．1％，小三阳为32．1％。以HBV DNA检测为标准，前S1蛋白的灵敏度为94．1％等，假阴性5．9％，总符合率93．9％。     

IL—6转基因表达诱导大肠癌细胞凋亡

通过分子克隆技术将ＩＬ－６基因导入大肠癌细胞ＨＴ－２９，建立了目的基因转导株ＨＴ－２９ＩＬ－６细胞，该转导株接种子裸鼠皮下后，与非转导株相比，长出肿瘤的时间延后，最终瘤径明显较小，而且移植瘤标本镜下可见大量的核固缩，核染色质加深，核断裂等凋亡细胞，用携带ＩＬ－６基因的重组逆转病毒液感染大肠癌细胞Ｌｏｖｏ后，仅以１．２５μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的ＶＵＭＯＮ－２６（简称ＶＭ－２６）即可诱导该转染株发生明显凋亡，而     

Epidemiology and virulence gene expression of intracellular group A streptococci in tonsils of recurrently infected adults

Intracellularly persistent group A streptococci (GAS, Streptococcus pyogenes) have been associated with recurrent tonsillopharyngitis and antibiotic treatment failure. As a supplementation of the published in vitro data, conventional bacteriology and molecular epidemiology was performed on material from 29 adult patients of a German army hospital with anamnestic signs of recurrent tonsillopharyngitis. Pre-surgery tonsil swabs and the surgically removed tonsils were examined with respect to growth of aerobic bacteria in absence and presence of antibiotics with exclusively extracellular activity. Under such antibiotic selection, Staphylococcus aureus and GAS were cultured from specimens of 13 and 3 patients, respectively. In every material GAS-positive by culture methods, the intracellular location of the penicillin-susceptible GAS isolates was confirmed by immunohistologic examination of tonsillar sections using a GAS-specific IgG antibody. The three intracellular GAS isolates were typed by emm gene sequencing and could be associated to types M6 and M49 (two isolates). The bacteria were serially passaged on sheep blood agar, and semiquantitative mRNA analysis from virulence genes was performed using bacteria of the 4th and 25th passage after isolation. An M-type-specific pattern of virulence gene expression and different gene expression levels in relation to the passage number were observed.     

Further evidence for the location of the blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES) at 3q22.3-q23

Fryns JP, Strømme P, van den Berghe H. Further evidence for the location of the blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES) at 3q22.3-q23.
Clin Genet 1993: 44: 149–151. © Munksgaard, 1993
We report a 6-year-old, mentally retarded boy with typical clinical signs and symptoms of the blepharophimosis syndrome ( b lepharophimosis, p tosis, e picanthus inversus s yndrome (BPES)), born to normal parents. Chromosome studies revealed an interstitial deletion in the long arm of chromosome 3: del(3)(q22.3—q23). This observation reinforces previous suggestions that the location of the BPES gene is at 3q2, i.e. 3q22.3-q23.     

小鼠生精细胞特异表达载体AAV-Dazl-RFP-Flag的构建及表达验证

The influence of positive selection on RAG expression in thymocytes

The expression of recombination activating gene (RAG) products, responsible for T cell receptor (TcR) gene rearrangement, is shut off during positive selection of thymocytes. The precise stage at which this down-regulation occurs remains somewhat controversial. We have analyzed RAG-1 expression in thymocytes of TcR transgenic mice carried on selecting versus non-selecting genetic backgrounds, both by in situ hybridization on thymus sections and by polymerase chain reaction amplification of RNA from sorted cells. The data from several transgenic lines indicate that RAG expression is already reduced in immature, cortical, CD4⁺CD8⁺ cells in the presence of positively selecting major histocompatibility complex molecules, although complete shut-off is not achieved until the mature, medullary, single-positive stage. This finding has practical and theoretical significance for studies on the mechanism of positive selection.

ASODN对白细胞抗原Ⅰ类基因表达的影响

目的为观察针对乙型肝炎病毒（ＨＢＶ）ｘ基因特异性反义核酸（ＡＳＯＤＮ）对２２１５细胞表面白细胞抗原Ⅰ类基因（ＨＬＡ－Ⅰ）表达的影响。方法人工合成互补于ｘ基因关键区的三段反义核酸，用流式细胞仪检测ＡＳＯＤＮ对２２１５细胞表面ＨＬＡ－Ⅰ表达的影响，细胞原位杂交观察作用细胞内ＨＬＡ－ⅠｍＲＮＡ含量变化，同时用ＰＡＰ－ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测作用细胞上清中ＨＢｘＡｇ的含量。结果三段ＡＳＯＤＮ均能抑制ＨＢｘＡｇ的表达，２２１５细胞表面ＨＬＡ－Ⅰ类抗原的表达及细胞内ＨＬＡ－ⅠｍＲＮＡ含量也降低。结论ＨＢｘＡｇ表达量的降低可能系ＡＳＯＤＮ序列特异性抑制作用所致，而ＨＬＡ－Ⅰ表达的降低可能是ＨＢｘＡｇ对ＨＬＡ－Ⅰ基因启动子的激发减少的间接结果。
